The Avengers Need To Learn WhenNotTo Fight

When thinking about the lineup for her Avengers inThe Avengers # 1 , Captain Marvel describes the Avengers as firefighters:"[flying ] into the blaze , whatever it is … we’re the ones who can , so we ’re the one who have to . “This fits with her largely confrontational mindset : the problem at bridge player must be fought before it can corkscrew out of ascendency .

WhileCaptain Marvelis one of Marvel ’s bravest Hero of Alexandria , she ’ll need to slow down and look toThor’sstyle of leadership if she unfeignedly wants to head theAvengers .
