Hulk's Identity Problem Just Got Way Worse After Endgame
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Ms. Marvel episode 1.
The premiere episode of Ms. Marvel proves that Hulk's identity problem has gotten much worse since Avengers: Endgame. Ms. Marvel is the MCU's latest Disney+ show, featuring new hero Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani), a Pakistani-American teenager living in Jersey City after the events of Avengers: Endgame. In the comics, Kamala gets her powers because she is an Inhuman who has gone through Terrigenesis, but the show has changed her superhero origin as a result of the lack of Inhumans in the MCU. Now, a cosmic bracelet gives her powers, something she will need to learn to grapple with after she inadvertently used them to smash up Avengercon during a Captain Marvel cosplay contest in the climax of the show's first episode.
One reason Kamala is such a relatable character is she genuinely loves superheroes. She creates fan videos, listens to Ant-Man's podcast, and the walls of her room are filled with Avengers posters and memorabilia. This fascination culminates in Kamala wanting to visit the inaugural Avengercon with her friend Bruno (Matt Lintz), with the event held at Camp Lehigh, otherwise known as the «Home of Captain America.» Despite having to sneak out of her house, Kamala arrives at the convention, where she and Bruno discover mountains of merchandise featuring all their favorite superheroes. Among the available goods are plenty of Hulk items, and while Hulk is not Kamala's favorite — it's Bruno who cosplays as Bruce Banner — the merchandise does provide an interesting look at how the general public views the Hulk, even after he reversed the Blip in Avengers: Endgame.
