With Avengers:Standoff (Written by Nick Spencer) concluding this Wednesday, the event has already returned Steve Rogers to his good ole' super-powered self. But a new teaser released by Marvel teases the return of another hero. The logo included seems to herald the return of Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, who died of cancer in Marvel Comics' first graphic novel way back in 1982.

Several different characters have taken the name since, and it is currently held by Carol Danvers in both her solo title and team book The Ultimates. If indeed it is Mar-Vell returning to life, this would surely hold huge implications for her, as she heads into spearheading the upcoming Civil War II crossover.

No clues have been given towards this mystery in upcoming monthly solicitations, but whoever is making his grand return the Wednesday, it's sure to have major ramifications across the Marvel slate.

I hope it's Genis. I hated the way they treated that character at the end.

@Pigdango - Yeah. My money is on Genis-Vell. Standoff is a Thunderbolts event and the last time we saw Genis he was cut to pieces and scattered throughout the multiverse by Baron Zemo. Post Secret Wars is the perfect time to bring him back.

It better be Genis. Bringing back Mar-Vell would be a [frick]ing atrocity.

I don't think it would be Mar-vel, reason being there may be backlash if it is with the female fans if the character. I'm gonna put my money on Nova, Rider

Actually the asymmetry of that symbol is driving me nuts... Is it supposed to be like that?

Richard Rider is coming back.

Definitely looks more like Quasar's logo to me. It could be Richard Rider or one of the Captain Marvels but Quasar seems pretty likely.

@KaneVonDoom - Quasar has been alive since Realm of Kings though, so he can't return if he hasn't left. While this is the Quasar logo without the ring around it, it has also been used for Genis-Vell


See at the top there?
