![]() In the MCU, Mar-Vell never became the hero Captain Marvel and succumbed to cancer. Mar-Vell was a former scientist who turned against the tyrannical Kree Empire, using the Tesseract to engineer technology to help the innocent Skrull refugees find safety from the Kree. Mar-Vell previously appeared in the first Captain Marvel film, portrayed by Annette Bening. In the MCU, Phyla seems to have no connection to the previously established versions of Mar-Vell, Titan, and the Eternals. ![]() Phyla appears to be a valued friend and member of the new team, and by now, it's likely that they've already been on multiple missions. She has learned English, or at least a more common language different from the one she was speaking earlier in the film, and she’s also become a fan of Britney Spears. In the mid-credits sequence, Phyla is depicted as one of the newest members of Rocket's new Guardians team. Elysius, with the help of Phyla, Rick Jones, and Starfox aka Eros, are able to walk Genis-Vell back from the ledge, get him to abandon his conquest of annihilation, and help restore his sanity to some degree. The second child was a daughter, Phyla-Vell, who also inherited her father’s powers, including his Cosmic Awareness. In the rebuilt Marvel 616 universe, Elysius not only bore one child from Mar-Vell’s genetic material but two. He does restore it later, but the restoration comes with some changes. Under the manipulation of the cosmic entities Entropy and Epiphany, Genis destroys the entire Marvel Multiverse. Unfortunately, after his powers grew, Genis was unable to focus his Cosmic Awareness power, and the scope of the omniscience drives him insane. Cosmic Awareness grants Genis a universal level of omniscience, and he can see potential threats and terrible futures before they occur. Genis also inherits his father’s Cosmic Awareness in addition to his already vast superpowers. Their son, Genis-Vell, later inherits his father's title and abilities, becoming the new Captain Marvel. Using the advanced technology of her race and some of Mar-Vell’s genetic material, she impregnated herself and gave birth to Mar-Vell's biological child. His lover Elysius, an artificially created sentient being similar to the Eternals from planet Titan, wished to have Mar-Vell’s child. In the 1982 comic, The Death of Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell died after succumbing to cancer. In Marvel Comics 616 lore, there is the hero Captain Marvel, who is actually a humanoid alien from the planet Kree named Mar-Vell. ![]() Now buckle up because things are about to get weird. This means it’s a good time to take a look back at the comics' history of Phyla-Vell. But who exactly is Phyla in the comics? Well, her backstory in the comics is far more complex than the rather simplified version she's given by Gunn for the purpose of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. Based on her given name and look, she's clearly the MCU adaptation of the Marvel Comics character Phya-Vell. Phyla is one of the children liberated from The High Evolutionary ( Chukwudi Iwuji) near the end of the movie. Rocket Raccoon ( Bradley Cooper) now finds himself as the leader of the new team of Guardians consisting of Cosmo ( Maria Bakalova), Kraglin ( Sean Gunn), Groot ( Vin Diesel), Adam Warlock ( Will Poulter), and Phyla. The film ends with many of the team members going their separate ways, along with the start of a new team of heroes. It’s the final installment of James Gunn’s Guardians trilogy and the last time fans will get to see the original team on the big screen together. ![]() 3 marks the end of an era for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
