Question for the day: What is the dealie in Carol Danvers skull?
We know there's something there. Beast saw it when he did a comparison of Carol to her alternate reality self. Then he chose not to pursue his curiosity any further. Way to be Hank. Some scientist you are. Carol keeps having dreams of being on an operating table, and hearing weird voices, and now she's getting mysteriously healed of the zombie infection. So what's going on?
Two predictions, though they're really just the different sides of the same coin.
One, MODOK has shrunk himself and is hiding inside Carol's skull, until he can devise a way to eliminate that AIM committee that wants to overthrow him. As Fortress Keeper once noted (and it's there on his site... someplace, I'm just lacking in time to find it), MODOK has the hots for Ms. Danvers (understandable, even if she is currently a tool of The Man), and so he's subtly altering her from within, so she'll be more receptive when he makes his move.
Man, that sentence is seventeen kinds of unsettling. Moving on!
Two, it's not MODOK, but it's a device implanted by MODOK, to transform Carol into MOBIRD! Or WARDOK! Or something like that. A device designed to alter her physiology would explain the way she was miraculously cured of the infection this week.
Well, there's my cheap joke. And that was pretty much all I had. So, thoughts?

Hmmm...I find your theory bizarre...but plausible.
This makes me sad that Carol wasn't in Marvel Adventures: Avengers 9. The truth would then have been self-evident!
I'm still avoiding all the Annihilation stuff, mind you.
As cheap jokes go, MODOK in Carol's skull is pretty good ... as is MOBIRD!
The only problem with your theory is that, well, it's too much fun. Ms. Marvel is all about ANGST and SCREWING UP.
Because that's what Marvel is all about ... or so the New School would have you believe.
Fans of Steve Gerber and Bill Mantlo know better.
I prefer WARDOK over MOBIRD, personally.

I keed! I keed!
sallyp: Why thank you. Bizarre, yet plausible was what I was shooting for.
matthew: True, an appearance in Marvel Adventures would have made it more obvious. And hurry and get Annihilation!
fortress: See, the beauty of this is, we could have it both ways. Carol, finds out and angsts about it (to be fair, if I found out MODOK was hiding in my skull, I'd angst too). But then she resolves to do something about it.
So she gets Dr. Strange to teleport her inside her own mind, so she can slug it out with MODOK. Astral combat! Hmm, might need to let Claremont write that issue.
chris: See, I'd hadn't even considered what WARDOK might stand for, so your offering is quite acceptable.
