Ms. Marvel's New MCU Superhero Origin & Powers Explained (In Detail)
Marvel Studios has released its first trailer for Ms. Marvel, confirming some major Ms. Marvel power changes, as well as alterations to Kamala Khan's origin story. Introduced in 2013 as Marvel's first Muslim-American superhero, Kamala Khan's cultural significance cannot be overstated. By 2015, street artists in San Francisco were using Kamala Khan as a symbol of opposition to the anti-Islamic American Freedom Defense Initiative; by 2016, president Barack Obama was name-dropping Ms. Marvel when he met her co-creator Sana Amanat. However, despite being a relatively new member of the Marvel family, it looks like the new series will make some interesting alterations to her comic counterpart.
As popular as Kamala Khan may be, Marvel took their time introducing her. As Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige explained back in 2018, it was important Ms. Marvel's character arc be comic book accurate. "We wanted to get Captain Marvel out there first," he observed, "so that there is something for a young Muslim girl to get inspired by." Marvel seems to have considered that job done in Avengers: Endgame, with Captain Marvel playing a major role in the battle against Thanos — literally blasting his Sanctuary II spaceship out of the sky. And so Marvel has decided the time is right to introduce its own live-action Ms. Marvel.
