Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell, alias Walter Lawson) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer-editor Stan Lee and designed by artist Gene Colan and first appeared in Marvel Super-Heroes #12 (December 1967). He is the original bearer of the name "Captain Marvel" within the Marvel brand.
The character debuted during the Silver Age of comic books and made many subsequent appearances, including a self-titled series and the second volume of the Marvel Spotlight series until his death in 1982, which has since remained largely permanent within mainstream continuity and most other media, with Carol Danvers becoming the primarily featured Captain Marvel in the modern age.
Annette Bening portrayed a re-imagined female version of Mar-Vell (Wendy Lawson) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Captain Marvel (2019).
