Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 officially said goodbye to many of the original members of the Guardians, which included Star-Lord, Gamora, Mantis, Drax and Nebula. Rocket Raccoon and Groot continue to shoulder the mission to protect the galaxy with many new faces. One of them is Phyla, the girl they rescued during the war with the evil High Evolutionary.
In the original, Phyla is a character who has a lot of connections with the Guardians, and was even a member of this squad. This is also one of two characters, besides Adam Warlock, who were removed from the Guardians team when stepping on the big screen in 2014. Therefore, many fans were not too surprised when Phyla became. a Guardian and will almost certainly return in the future of the MCU. Here are the full origins of Phyla in the Marvel comics as well as the stories that this character can bring to the silver screen in the near future.

In the original, Phyla-Vell is the fourth Captain Marvel, a title she temporarily assumes from her brother, Genis-Vell. However, the character is better known as the successor Quasar, who inherited the Quantum Bands treasures from Wendell Vaughn.
On their first adventure as a Quasar against the villain Annihilus, Phyla and her teammate Moondragon teamed up with Adam Warlock, one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel universe. The trio later even confronted and defeated the High Evolutionary. This is probably also an inspiration for Marvel Studios to build the plot for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. However, the links between High Evolutionary and Phyla were completely changed, when she became the subject of his experiments to create the most perfect race in the universe.
Phyla-Vell joined the Guardians of the Galaxy in a series released in 2008. However, she and Adam Warlock were dropped from the official lineup when the Guardians made their way to the big screen in 2014. It was not until the recent blockbuster that they officially joined this squad. However, Phyla has a very different origin in the MCU, as she is a test subject, a new species created by the High Evolutionary. After being rescued by the Guardians, Phyla joined the community in Knowhere, and gradually became Rocket’s comrade, Groot in their journeys to save the universe.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3Phyla is performed by Kai Zen, a young talent born in 2007, who participated in voicing the character Pepper in the project. Eureka! by Disney Junior. First appearing in a scene about a physical experiment by the High Evolutionary, Phyla, and her brethren, are considered the next attempt in the process of creating the most perfect race in the universe. Subsequent segments revealed that Phyla had received a lot of genetic modification to be able to become physically superior, able to work continuously for a long time without eating or resting.
Phyla is the first child Drax interacts with and talks to after several members of the Guardians break into the High Evolutionary’s giant ship. She becomes the bridge to help them rescue all the remaining test subjects, and also proves herself to be a different factor and has many superhero qualities. However, because of the changes in background compared to the original, this character is only called Phyla, not Phyla-Vell – which comes from Mar-Vell, the first Captain Marvel in the Marvel comic universe. .

After defeating the High Evolutionary, the members of the Guardians made their own decisions about their future path. Star-Lord returns to Earth to reunite with his grandfather Jason Quill after many years apart. Mantis also left to be able to do what he really wanted. Gamora of 2014, a version that is still quite aggressive and cold, is back with her new family, the Ravagers. Meanwhile, Nebula and Drax retreat to the rear to build and develop Knowhere, while also supporting the new Guardians group.
This forced the Guardians to have additional personnel, and Phyla became the most perfect choice, next to Adam Warlock. What Phyla shows in the rescue of her fellow humans on the High Evolutionary’s ship is enough to prove the ability and personality of this character. In addition, as Marvel Studios is increasingly rejuvenating its superhero lineup, Phyla could become an important factor, not only for the Guardians, but also for the MCU in the near future.
Explaining Phyla’s Powers and Superpowers

Aside from the physical and mental enhancements from High Evolutionary’s experiments, Phyla’s full power in the MCU is currently unknown. However, in the Guardians of the Galaxy post-credits scene, we can see that Phyla’s eyes and hands glow a strange light when confronting enemies. That suggests it’s very possible that this character possesses cosmic-level powers that have yet to be revealed.
In the comics, Phyla-Vell’s powers are constantly changing depending on the role she currently takes on. At a basic level, Phyla possesses super strength, super physical strength and the ability to fly professionally. When taking on the role of Captain Marvel, Phyla also holds in her hands enhanced knowledge, cosmic abilities, enhanced combat ability, along with a flexible tactical mind.
As a Quasar, Phyla again has many powers thanks to the Quantum Bands, which allow her to manipulate and absorb energy from another dimension called the Quantum Zone. At times, Phyla even wields the Oblivion Sword. This will probably also be the role that Marvel Studios is building for this character, because Captain Marvel is still being handled by Carol Danvers.
In which MCU project will Phyla return?

Joining Rocket’s new Guardians team alongside Groot, Kraglin, Blurp, Cosmo the Space Dog and Adam Warlock suggests that Phyla is likely to return to the big screen in the fourth installment for the franchise. Guardians of the Galaxy. In addition, Phyla, as well as a few other members, could appear in the movie project for Star-Lord, a character that has been confirmed by Marvel Studios to continue to reappear in the MCU. After all, given Phyla’s age and cosmic powers, it can be considered an important character in the future of Marvel Studios.
In addition, the possibility that Guardians of the Galaxy will appear in two events that close the multiverse storyline – Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret WarS. With their experience in the fight with Thanos 5 years ago, it is not surprising that the Avengers have turned to the help of the Guardians to fight the variants of Kang the Conqueror. And then, the audience will be able to meet Phyla again as well as discover more about this character’s hidden hidden powers.
