In the source material, Kamala's primary ability is that of elongation, the ability to alter the size of her body, most notably through the stretching/embiggening of her limbs. In the MCU show, however, Kamala is shown to have cosmic-energy-based powers that provide similar strengths to her original elongation effects.
