Contains Spoilers to Wanda Vision, Captain Marvel, and some of the MARVEL comics:
Ever sence the release of Wanda Vision (2021) we have been wondering where Monica Rambeau will go and/or do. When Darcy Lewis told Monica that the hex had rewritten her cells on a molecular level, there have been many theories about her joining the Fantastic 4, X-men, or the Avengers. But what hero would she be? We think Photon, or as of 2013, Spectrum. This is what we know about Spectrum from the official MARVEL website:
Genis-Vell was originally "born" at the age of thirteen after his mother Elysius used DNA from the original Captain Marvel to conceive a son. She then had Genis rapidly aged and imbued with false memories of growing up on Titan among his late father's friends and associates, all so that he might be better able to protect himself from his father's enemies. He was told by his mother that his father was Starfox which he believed until Elysius sent the Silver Surfer to fetch Genis back to Titan, as the young man was in the middle of squandering his life, roaming the universe as a hedonist and gambler. After the Surfer retrieved Genis, saving from a bar brawl, Elysius told Genis the truth of his origins and gave him the Nega-Bands of Captain Marvel. Adapting the name of Legacy to carry on his father's heroic tradition, he became an explorer and an adventurer like his father, albeit a rather rash and unwise one at first. Regardless, Genis gradually became known as the new Captain Marvel thanks to his father's reputation, despite his own reluctance to assume that title. So now that we know about the original Photon (or Genis-Vell) let’s learn about what this has to do with Monica. Here is what MARVEL says: At the time, Monica Rambeau had long since established herself as a new Captain Marvel herself, but she conceded the title to Genis out of respect for Mar-Vell's legacy after Genis and Rambeau teamed up to defeat the Controller, who pitted the two heroes against each other to test his own abilities. Shortly after his encounter with Rambeau, Genis finally accepted the Captain Marvel title as his own after winning a victory over homicidal madman Zey-Rogg and his sister Una-Rogg, the children of Mar-Vell's late arch-enemy Yon-Rogg. So to sum it up, in the comics Monica Rambuea teamed up with the original Photon and defeated villains. THe theory that many have is that Monica Rambeau will become Spectrum, or Photon because Genis-Vell became the “new” Captain Marvel. And than again, we may not eaven get a Genis-Vell in the movies and shows. Anyway, Photon was the leader of the Avengers for awhile and also was part of Nextwave and the latest Ultimates team. Eaven though Photon does not join the Fantastic 4, or X-men, she might in the upcoming movies and series. Until The Marvels (late 2022), we will not know anything else about Monica Rambeau, but we can imagine her now as Spectrum.
