admonition : SPOILERS forInfinity Countdown : police captain Marvel#1
Now thatCaptain Marvelhas an Infinity Stone , her similarities toGreen Lanternare formally too obvious to ignore . rightful , there may only be so much that either Marvel or DC writer can actually do to make their own " space cops " seem like they are n’t all cast from the same well . But now , Marvel is joking that one might actuallybethe other … in an alternate reality .
The motion-picture show human race may exact there ’s no greater competition than Marvel vs. DC , and the risible leger newspaper publisher may maintain a well-disposed one in the print pages . But for whatever reason , these supposed resister just ca n’t stop have jokes about them coexist as alternate worlds in one great , fully grown , comics Multiverse .
The latest case ? An alternate world in which Captain Marvel dresses like Green Lantern , magical power ring and all .

TheInfinity Countdownevent has already diddle on the legal mix-up over Carol Danvers and " Captain Marvel " of the DC Universe ( now refer to in comics and movies by his famous magical set phrase , " Shazam ! " ) . When Carol got her hands on the Reality Stone , she used it to see through Marvel ’s Multiverse , where she learned thatDC ’s Shazam is the Captain Marvel of an alternate existence .
That joke bring back with even more alongside it inInfinity Countdown : Captain Marvel#1 , when Carol takes another look at her Multiverse doppelganger . The appearance ofBrie Larson ’s pic interlingual rendition of Captain Marvelmay be the cameo most will enamour , but there ’s another wedge in familiar uniform . And who now wields the Reality Stone as a powered ring …
While the same small peep at manacle boots and fluttering ness corroborate the other Shazam reference , two unexampled alternative - cosmos Captains Marvel reduplicate down on the jokes . The most seeable is the visual aspect of a sub who seems to be Mar - Vell ( the original grinder who pass on his powers onto Carol Danvers , played by Jude Law in the Captain Marvel movie ) . While his green and white , masked costume can be excused as his original Kree uniform , his choice to wear the Reality Stone as a band on the middle finger of his correct hand is concentrated to dismiss .
If the law of similarity in pose and weapon ( with Mar - Vell ’s usual handheld chargeman nowhere to be regard ) are n’t a direct joke , then it really is one incredible coincidence . But the recent string of inside trick in the comics makes it easier to conceive it ’s intentional now than ever . Whatever the showcase , fans get to appreciate these minute and visual gags all the same .
LikeSpider - Man pass over into DC ’s Metropolis . , or Booster Gold slyly confirming that the Marvel Universe exist in an alternate timeline of DC ’s , these cunning cameo or tress can only truly be appreciated by fans of both . So no , it ’s unlikely that either Marvel or DC will confirm that Captain Marvel , Shazam , or even Green Lanterns may take up the same infinite in an eternal kaleidoscope of alternate world .
But for the lover who savour the thought , it ’s always overnice to know the storytellers themselves savor it just as much .
