At the end of Captain Marvel, we find out that the reason Danvers's powers are so strong is that

they are drawn directly from the Tesseract, AKA one of the Infinity Stones.

However, early on in Avengers: Endgame,

Thanos destroys all of the Infinity Stones.

At first glance, it appears that this should have depowered Captain Marvel before she was ever even able to make it to the first fight scene she took part in. Do we have any good explanation for why that didn't happen?



Best Answer

Even though you have gained power from something, it doesn't always mean that you will lose it once it is destroyed. Captain Marvel acquired her powers from a warp drive (powered by Tessaract) which was destroyed, and she still had her powers.

There are many examples of this where there is no need of source lying around to make their powers work. For example, that radioactive spider from Spider-Man, or Shazam after he gave his powers to Billy.

Why is Captain Marvel so strong in endgame?

The Kree blood transfusion and the powers of the Infinity Stone gave Captain Marvel a superhuman skill set. She can take down hordes of her opponents with relative ease and send them flying through the air with simple blows and kicks, thanks to her superhuman strength.

Does Captain Marvel have limited power?

It's not clear yet what exactly it means that Carol's power comes from the Tesseract \u2014 for most of the movie her powers are limited by a piece of Kree tech on the back of her neck. Once she's free of that device at the end of the movie we mostly just see her utilizing the standard array of Captain Marvel abilities.

How did Captain Marvel absorb the power?

Captain Marvel got her powers from one of the six Infinity Stones. As we see in "Captain Marvel," Carol was a regular human woman enlisted in the Air Force when she absorbed power from the Tesseract. The Tesseract is a cosmic cube that housed the Space Stone.
