[post_page_title]The origin of Carol’s mohawk[/post_page_title]
Carol Danvers is the epitome of cool in Captain Marvel, and one of the strongest reflections of that is her striking mohawk that we see occasionally. But the origin of that mohawk actually started with a bet.
Kelly Sue DeConnick was under pressure trying to sell Carol Danvers to Marvel editorial as the new “Captain Marvel,” but she bet her illustrator that if she added the mohawk and it got rejected, she would pay for the redesign herself. Lo and behold, people loved it, and she didn’t need to!
