Uhhh, he absolutely was prior to RDJ and the MCU.

Iron Man was never in the same ballpark as Spider-Man, Superman, the Hulk, or Batman.

Edit: Again, people forget that making a movie about him was widely seen as a silly risk by Marvel.

the character was created in 1967

It’s almost like fictional characters evolve to fit their era.

Technically, the character of Captain Marvel was created in 67, but that was the male alien Mar-vell, not Carol Danvers. Danvers has been around that long, but she went by Ms. Marvel/Binary/Warbird. There were then 5 other people who took the role Captain Marvel between Mar-vell and Danvers. Not until 2012 did Danvers take over the Captain Marvel title.

All I know is, I better not see Clinton, Warren, Cortez or Pelosi in Captain Marvel suits anytime soon.

Then I will become enraged and MAGA.

Carol Danvers actually began her comic career as the girlfriend of the original Captain Marvel, Mar-vell. Then later got mysteriously kidnapped and raped by an unknown alien and forced to give birth to that alien's baby like 2 days later. Who then turns out to be the alien that impregnated her. Seriously...

EDIT: Found it. Danvers Gave Birth to Her Own Rapist

He’s a one woman man by literally the end of the first movie.

Might want to pick another character. There’s no shortage of them in pop culture.

Because?

Her mythology is aaaaaaaaall over the place.

Because that's exactly the sort of bullshit comic book movies shouldn't be perpetrating.

Bullshit.
