Up springs another Captain Marvel (the woman in the Avengers). #2: Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) loses her powers. Up springs another Spider-Woman (Coloradoan in the Secret Wars). #3: Adam Warlock (gold-skinned Him) dies and get sucked into a soul gem. Up springs another Warlock (alien in New Mutants). Is Marvel doing this to protect copyright on those characters? It seems that Marvel will *always* have a Captain Marvel. If he/she/it dies, another will be created to protect copyright.
