As former writer of the solo title, Chris Claremont also commented on the inappropriateness of the storyline.<ref>Chris Claremont, quoted in ''X-Men Companion'' #2 (Fantagraphics Books, 1982): "Actually, my reaction was a lot stronger than that.

How could she be eight months pregnant now?"</ref> | |||
| Claremont effectively "undid" the Marcus story in ''Avengers Annual'' #10 (1981).

It's nothing you'll expect and nothing you've seen happen but there will be parts of her life that change the context of what you've seen before, so it's telling the other side of the story, of how she came to be."

| ==Characterization== | |||
| With ''Ms. Marvel'' #1 in 1977, writer ] played a significant role in the character's development, writing in his introduction to the series, "you might see a parallel between ''her'' quest for identity, and the modern woman's quest for raised consciousness, for self-liberation, for identity".<ref name="MsPrint">{{Cite comic | writer=Conway, Gerry | story=Ms. Prints | title=Ms. Marvel | issue=1 | date=Jan. 1977}}</ref> | |||
| Ms. Marvel's uniform and abilities, however, were derived from the character's then-contemporary male counterpart: Captain Marvel. The ''Ms. Marvel'' ] ("Ms. Prints") featured letters debating whether or not the character was feminist. Reader (and frequent ]) Jana C. Hollingsworth took issue with Ms. Marvel's entire origin: | |||

Can you not have a woman who is ruthless and capable and courageous and articulate and intelligent and all the other buzz-words—heroic when the need arises, and yet feminine and gentle and compassionate, at others?
