What Is Ms. Marvel's Bracelet? Powers & Origin Explained
This article contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel episode 1.
Ms. Marvel episode 1 serves as an origin story for the MCU's latest teen superhero when she puts on mysterious bracelets that are likely alien in nature. In the comics, Kamala Khan is a teenager with an Inhuman gene, which granted her powers when she was exposed to the Terrigen Mists.

Kamala herself clearly has no idea where these powers come from, but she's thrilled, even if their first use did cause chaos at AvengerCon.
