About the series
Marvel's 2000–2002 Captain Marvel series redefined the legacy of the cosmic mantle, centering on Genis-Vell—the son of the original Captain Marvel—as he struggled with immense power and a fractured identity. Written primarily by Peter David, with artwork by ChrisCross and others, the run wove high-concept space opera with David's trademark character-driven wit, exploring Genis's bond with Rick Jones and his evolving place in the Marvel Universe. This series stands out for its ambitious, often surreal storytelling, cementing Genis-Vell as a distinct and compelling hero in his own right.
