Even though Scarlet Witch represented her, Carol’s guilt and punishment had already been decided the trial was to determine whether she was worthy to continue as a hero. For her crimes, Amora the Enchantress brought a case against Carol to a Magic Tribunal headed by Agatha Harkness, Doctor VooDoo, Magik, Satana, and a recurring foe of Carol’s: Alriac, King of the Snat (that’s snake and cat) Men. Though Carol never actually intended for Ove to drink the depowering potion-he drank it on his own, thinking it was something else-the mystic community still held her responsible. After the potion worked, Carol discovered that not only had Amora been completely honest and helpful towards her, but that she had made an enemy of the entire magical community by depowering one of their own. In a climatic battle with Ove in CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019) #30 by Thompson, Jacopo Camagni, Espen Grundetjern, and VC's Clayton Cowles, the Enchantress realized he was her son. Rather than teach Carol mystic arts, Amora sent her after a forbidden anti-magic relic to make a potion that could permanently depower any magician. Quite a thing to hear after going through the trouble of getting a more wizardy outfit!ĭesperate, Carol turned to an enemy instead: the Enchantress herself, setting her against her future son in a surprisingly cruel double-cross.

She decided that “learning magic” would cover that weakness, but she quickly found that cramming decades of study and practice into a few days was basically impossible-especially when every single one of her magical friends refused to teach her, since someone as mighty as her might actually need weaknesses. While Rogue and Carol are far from friends, this battle showed they’re also more than capable of using the lessons learned from their shared traumatic experience to move forward together.Īfter the sorcerer Ove, son of Namor and the Enchantress, escaped to the present day at the end of "The New World" arc, Carol feared her weakness to magic would lead to the apocalyptic future Ove created.

While Rogue initially wanted Carol to kill her, the Captain came up with a better plan: letting Rogue fully absorb her and make her the dominant personality and power in Rogue’s body-which freed the mutant from Mahkizmo’s mind control and both of them from a desperate situation.

What Mahkizmo didn’t count on, however, was Rogue managing to reach out to Captain Marvel despite the mind control. In a colosseum duel to the death, Nuclear Man set a mind-controlled Rogue against the Captain. However, Carol had to “prove” she was capable of bearing him powerful children-insert cringe here-by overcoming what he saw as her greatest weakness: the power-stealing X-Man Rogue. In CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019) #4 by Thompson, Carmen Carnero, Tamra Bonvillain, and VC's Clayton Cowles, Mahkizmo revealed that he lured Carol to Roosevelt Island to make her his bride.
