"How did Captain Marvel (MCU) acquire her spectacular abilities?"

Answer in a spoiler because... spoilers!

Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) got her powers after crashing a test plane that she and her instructor, Dr. Wendy Lawson, were flying had crashed after fleeing a pursuing Kree force led by a man named Yon-Rogg. In an effort to prevent Yon-Rogg from taking the technology for the Kree Empire, Danvers uses one of the Kree's weapons to blow up the engine, which was powered by an Infinity Stone known as the Tesseract. The act of blowing up the test plane's engine released a massive surge of energy from the Tesseract, which Carol absorbed. From that day on, she had superpowers!

"What name did Dr. Frankenstein's monster choose for himself?"

Not sure this is the answer you're looking for, but I'll say this fun fact - author Dean Koontz wrote a retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, where his story takes place after the events in Shelley's book. Frankenstein's monster names himself Deucalion, for the namesake of the Greek figure Deucalion, son of Prometheus.

SPACE DUST! Although I did like the alien megastructure theory.

Correct! +125 points.

I did, too, but... honestly, it seemed a little far-fetched. Not because of the location, but because one would presume a structure on that scale would have a little more discernible activity of some kind, whether traffic, or some sort of emissions.
