I choose Jean Grey (Marvel Girl). I don't have more than a passing familiarity with any of the listed characters. Really kicking myself for missing that option. |

Close one... but gotta Holla at Kamala. Monica Rambeau is a VERY close 2nd.  |

It's the first Marvel Comics Captain Marvel for me. I loved everything about that character once he was made over by Thomas and Kane and transformed into the Cosmic protector of the Universe. I'm usually a Jim Shooter fan/ apologist , but I will say that he made a mistake by approaching Starlin to kill Marvell. He claimed that they didn't know what to do with him anymore.

LOL, yes, I was just getting ready to post this illustrating my favorite "Marvel" character and then I saw your post  True story: some years ago I mentioned to someone who was supposedly a diehard comic book fan that my favorite Silver Age character was Marvel Girl. A few months later at a Christmas get-together he proudly told me he'd gotten me a present he knew I'd love--an old comic starring my "favorite character." Well, it was a Ms. Marvel comic  (a character I have never had any interest in). Diehard comic book fan my a$$  |

Mar-Vell for me, his book ended as I started actively collecting, I read that last issue (with the glorious Pat Broderick art) to shreds. The red and black/blue outfit is IMHO one of THE greatest supersuits of all time, a Gil Kane classic. Gil Kane did a great Mar-Vell. As much as I love Gene Colan's art his Mar-Vell looked like an old man--and that awful costume! In Kane's hands the character was magnificent, stunning. Adams did a great Mar-Vell too over in the Kree-Skrull War Avengers issues. |

Voted for Billy.
Mar-Vell was also great, but Billy was truly an original. Those stories, and the template, are as classic in their own way as Superman.
I will say, not to slight Mar-Vell, he's one of my very favorite Marvel characters.
Loved Marvelman by Moore and friends as well.

Monica Rambeau for me. Though Billy Batson is a close second. Would have really liked to see Monica in the MCU.

For me alone, I don't think of Marvel (Jean Grey) Girl at all ... I go by Jean Grey only, and never, ever think of her as Marvel Girl.
To be honest here, I always call her Jean Grey exclusively.
