>>77036029ok, here goes.
step one, bring back her characterization from Brian Reed's Ms Marvel run.
take the basic concept they've already started, with her in charge of rebuilding an organization to defend earth from aliens. Expand on it. Have Abigail Brand as her #2, and they HATE each other. have them constantly argue for 4-5 issues, then they have a "come to god" moment. Carol locks herself and Brand in a conference room and tells Brand she ain't leaving until they figure something out. They're honest with each other: Brand thinks Carol's an arrogant frigid bitch who's had everything handed to her on a silver platter. Carol thinks Brand is a lying, manipulative pervert just this side of being a villain. But they have one thing in common: they both want to save humanity. they agree to try to be as professional as they can and once a week, get together to scream at each other to vent.
Carol needs a diplomat. Give her.....eh, whoever.
Alpha Flight doesn't like her. In fact, almost no one likes her. even the people who are fans think she'll fuck it up.
the first arc will be all about building. Carol's got to train her people, gain their trust, build working relationships with her "inner circle" whoever they are. She's got to make deals with suppliers on earth and elsewhere for hardware: spare parts, weapons, ammo, etc. She's got to get the space station built, the fighters tested and ready, the crews trained. She's got to build relationships with other super-teams. She's already on the Ultimates and friends with the X-men and some Spider-people. She'll use her diplomat (whoever that is) to make more deals -- AIMvengers, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, China, the US Military, Europe, and the Kree.
Stuff that happens:
She trains the living shit out of Alpha flight and her combat pilots. As in, months without a break. The only reason they don't mutiny is because she's out there with them every day, pushing herself just as hard, on top of her other duties.
