Read more about Quasar (Phyla-vell) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Marvel Phyla-Vell is a fictional character, a comic book superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. She has gone by the names Quasar, Captain Marvel and Martyr. She was created by Peter David and Paul Azaceta in Captain Marvel (vol. 4) #16 (December 2003). Her name is derived from the Scientific classification phylum, one of the levels of organization (taxon) for classifying life. This is a reference to the fact that her brother Genis-Vell's name comes from Genus, one of the other classifications for life forms. The character appeared in Annihilation: Conquest, featuring in their own, self-titled mini-series written by Christos Gage. Leading on from this appearance they are part of the line-up for a new Guardians of the Galaxy. After Genis-Vell, then known as Captain Marvel, previously destroyed and recreated the universe, the "new" version was subtly altered with Phyla-Vell's existence being one of the changes. It is revealed that she is the second artificially created offspring of Captain Mar-Vell who was created by her mother Elysius in the "new" universe because her first attempt (Genis-Vell) had been so successful. Initially her origin conflicted with previously established storylines, but this is resolved in Captain Marvel (vol. 4) #18 (February, 2004).
