Powers and Abilities

Binary’s power is in fact the ability to tap the energy of a “white hole” (the point at which the tail end of a black hole touches the normal space-time). The energy she can muster is tremendous and can be expressed as any part of the EM spectrum, plus gravity. She’s also endowed with great speed, strength and durability.

Binary is clearly the Starjammer’s most powerful asset ; her Daxamite-like power level allows her to easily take on Shi’ar warships.

History

(starting from when the Miss Marvel I (classic) writeup stopped)
Carol remained with the X-Men for a brief time, during which she often accompanied them on missions. One such mission led to Carol’s capture by the alien Brood. Fascinated by her Kree/Human physiology, the Brood performed experiments on Carol’s genetic structure. This unleashed the full potential of Carol’s Kree/Human physiology transforming her into the cosmic-powered Binary. Carol now possessed more power than ever due to her link to a “white hole.” Carol returned with the X-Men and was strongly considering joining them on a permanent basis when the desperately troubled Rogue came to Xavier for help. Upon seeing Rogue, Carol punched her into orbit ! The X-Men reluctantly informed Carol that Xavier had allowed Rogue to join the X-Men. Unable to accept this, Carol opted to join the space pirates known as the Starjammers and leave her troubles on Earth behind.

As Binary, Carol was a valued member of the Starjammers and fought alongside them to restore Lilandra to the Shi’ar throne. In space, Carol was able to escape her loss and rebuild her life. The stars were her escape and offered her a whole universe in which to escape the emptiness her former life represented. Carol remained with the Starjammers for a number of years. During this time, she lived out her lifelong dream of exploring the stars. She formed a close friendship with Raza Longknife, the sullen cyborg member of the Starjammers. Despite fighting the Shi’ar forces and her former enemy Deathbird, Carol found herself frustrated at the lack of challenge among the Starjammers’ adversaries. When Earth’s sun was threatened, Carol chose to abandon her mission for the Shi’ar Majestrix Lilandra Neramani and aid the Avenger Quasar in saving it. This effort left Carol in a depleted state and she spent months recuperating at Avengers Mansion. During this time, she reconciled with the Avengers. When the Starjammers came to Earth and into conflict with the Avengers, Carol helped resolve the conflict and decided to try and rebuild her life on Earth.

Personality
