[post_page_title]Monica Rambeau glows[/post_page_title]
Monica Rambeau (played by Akira Akbar) is the young daughter of Carol’s best friend and fellow pilot, Maria. Monica has some great moments in the film, but one line has hidden meaning behind it, relating to her role in the comic books. When Monica asks if she might get to go to space like Carol, her mother replies, “Only if you learn to glow like your auntie.” And that she does.
In the comics, she’s most famously known as Photon, who can harness electromagnetic powers. There was even a time when she was Captain Marvel herself. We can see a nod to her comic-book character when an old photo of Maria has her standing next to a plane with the writing “Maria ‘Photon’ Rambeau” on it.
