Danvers resurfaces with superhuman abilities and becomes the hero Ms. Marvel (created by writer Gerry Conway and artist John Buscema) in a self-titled series in January 1977, at first written by Gerry Conway and later by Chris Claremont. In the series, she is the editor of Women Magazine, a spin-off of the Daily Bugle. It is revealed that the energy exposure from the explosion of a device called the "Psyche-Magnetron" caused Danvers's genetic structure to meld with Captain Marvel's, effectively turning her into a human-Kree hybrid.[8] Ms. Marvel had a series of semi-regular appearances in The Avengers, with additional appearances with the Defenders,[9] Spider-Man,[10] the Thing,[11] and Iron Man.[12] In one of these stories, the mutant terrorist Mystique kills Michael Barnett, Ms. Marvel's lover.[13] At the time of the publication of Ms. Marvel #1 in 1977, the title was self-consciously socially progressive for its time. This was reflected in the use of the word "Ms.", at the time associated with the feminist movement,[2] and in Danvers fighting for equal pay for equal work in her civilian identity.[14]
