FAQ

You are thinking of the 'Warbird' outfit when she was 'Ms. Marvel'.

Because Carol is Captain Marvel here (and this is basically her costume from the Kelly Sue DeConnick run in the comics) , she's no longer Ms. Marvel.

In short, no. This is an anachronism for the late 1980s. Women were not permitted to fly combat aircraft until 1993. Jeannie Flynn Leavitt, who is white, was the first female to be designated a U.S. fighter pilot (F-15E) that same year. To reach the level of proficiency Carol Danvers would have had to be an experimental test pilot in 1989, she would have had to become a jet pilot no later than 1985, approximately eight years before this was possible. The character of Maria Rambeau is even more anachronistic. The first black woman to become a U.S. fighter pilot was Shawna Rochelle Kimbrell, but she did not earn this designation until August 2000.

Keep in mind. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is not the same as our world. So history has played out differently.
