The article analyzes the character Peggy Carter as an example of transmedia identity construction within the context of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), tracing her trajectory from comic books of the 1960s to her recreation in audiovisual narratives. Drawing on Genette (1997), Field (2001), and Tomachevski (1970), the authors explore the paratextual function of the character, particularly in her evolution from romantic supporting role to leading agent. The text proposes a five-stage division of the character’s trajectory, with a specific focus on comparing her comic book origins to her repositioning in the MCU. The analysis addresses both associated motives and free motives that define her characterization. The article concludes that, despite lacking superpowers, Peggy Carter becomes a significant narrative link within the MCU and exemplifies how female representations have been reconfigured to meet contemporary demands for more complex and diverse forms of protagonism.
