Are Captain Marvel And Captain America Related?

Q: Hi Alex, big fan, mainly because I’m you writing this question. I just got out of seeing the new movie Captain Marvel, and was wondering whether Captain Marvel and Captain America are related?

A: Hey, thanks so much, you’re very kind! And great question. Yes, they are related.

Captain Marvel’s Mom is first cousins with Captain America’s Dad, which makes Captain Marvel and Captain America second cousins. That’s, of course, why they have the same first name, which is Captain. They are also related to Captain Planet, who is also second cousins with them and also has the same first name.

Anyone with the first name Captain, which is a first name, and not a title related to rank, is related. They are all second cousins.

Again, appreciate you writing in, and hope you enjoyed the movie!
