Ms
Embiggen!
~ Ms. Marvel's battlecry and catchphrase
Fabulous. Now I'm in trouble, too. This has to have happened for a reason. I saved one life, does it stop there or do I go on? Maybe this is what I've been waiting for. Maybe I'm finally part of something... bigger.
~ Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel
Good isn’t a thing you are... it’s a thing you do.
~ Kamala Khan / Ms. Marvel

Kamala Khan is a superheroine who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, writer G. Willow Wilson, and artists Adrian Alphona and Jamie McKelvie, Kamala is Marvel's first Muslim protagonist character and Pakistani personality with her own comic book. In the Marvel Universe, Kamala is a teenage Pakistani-American from Jersey City, New Jersey with body-morphing abilities who discovers that she has Inhuman genes in the aftermath of the "Inhumanity" storyline. She assumes the mantle of Ms. Marvel from her idol, Carol Danvers, after Danvers becomes Captain Marvel.

Kamala made her first appearance in a background cameo in Captain Marvel #14 (August 2013), before starring in the solo series Ms. Marvel from February 2014 to March 2019, in a second solo series, The Magnificent Ms. Marvel, from October 2019 to May 2021, and in three Ms. Marvel limited series from November 2019 to January 2023. From 2016 to 2021, the character played a supporting role in the team series Champions and Secret Warriors; Kamala was also the focus of the 2020 event series "Outlawed" after being rendered comatose and made the face of "Kamala's Law", a vigilante minimum age law. An alternate future widowed version of the character named Kamala Carrelli, known by the vigilante name Khan, appears as a main character in the team series Exiles, published from April 2018 to March 2019. Following her solo series' conclusion, Kamala became a reoccurring character in The Amazing Spider-Man (2022), culminating with her death in issue #26 of that series in May 2023. Kamala was then resurrected in the July 2023 X-Men Hellfire Gala storyline where it was revealed that she was an Inhuman/mutant hybrid.

Marvel's announcement that a Muslim character would headline a comic book attracted widespread attention, with The New York Times Best Seller Ms. Marvel: No Normal winning the 2015 Hugo Award for best graphic story. The character and her solo series have received an overwhelmingly positive critical reception, with strong sales for her solo series. However, her 2019 and 2023 deaths in Champions and The Amazing Spider-Man, respectively, have been criticized as fridging.

Iman Vellani plays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) miniseries Ms. Marvel and attraction Avengers: Quantum Encounter (both 2022), and is scheduled to reprise the role in the film The Marvels (2023); unlike the comic books, Kamala is reimagined as a latent mutant who uses a magical bangle to create glowing constructs out of hard light. From 2016 to 2019, the character was voiced by Kathreen Khavari in animated series such as Avengers Assemble, Marvel Rising, and Spider-Man. She was voiced by Sandra Saad in the video game Marvel's Avengers (2020) and the animated series Spidey and His Amazing Friends (2021).

Paraphernalia

Equipment

  • Biokinetic Polymer Suit: Invented by Bruno as part of his scholarship application to Rutgers University, when the polymer (or "super snot") is applied to a flexible substance, the substance becomes extremely malleable. The increased elasticity allows Ms. Marvel to focus less on transforming her clothing during her metamorphoses. Unfortunately, the suit is highly susceptible to damage by exposure to water.
  • Compartment Bracelet: A series of bangles with hollow compartments inside of it, modified by Bruno into a single bracelet worn on Kamala's left arm to hold her cell phone and other small items. They were originally used by Kamala's great-grandmother Aisha to smuggle money out of Bombay during Partition, and had since been passed down to her daughter and granddaughter, Muneeba.
  • Locator Pendant: A gift from Captain Marvel during the incursion, this necklace allowed Kamala to signal Carol in an emergency with just the push of a button.
  • Stormranger Nanosuit: (formerly) A special costume worn by Kree Stormranger 20-14, a member of the Kree whom the Saffans claimed as their "Destined One". The suit was left behind on a special space station used by the former slave masters of the Saffans with the intent of another Stormranger to retrieve. While it is designed for those with Kree blood, this seems to also extend to Inhumans. The full extent of the suit is of yet unknown. Kamala's Stormranger suit acquired a mind of its own and tried to force Kamala to kill Joshua Richardson / Discord and Mister Hyde. When Kamala refused to comply, the Stormranger suit separated from her and attempted to kill Hyde and Joshua on its own. Kamala fought her former costume, which seemingly self-destructed after overclocking.

Iago PUC's ideas

Ms

Kamala Khan as she appears in Iago PUC's Avengers Animated Trilogy, Avengers Unleashed, and Iago PUC's version of The Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3

  • She also appears as one of the core protagonists in Iago PUC's Avengers Animated Trilogy (Force from the Infinity, The Symbiote War and Inhumans Unleashed), voiced by Auli'i Cravalho. Along with being a expanded member and trainee of the Avengers, Kamala is also introduced in the trilogy as Peter Parker / Spider-Man's primary love interest.
  • Ms. Marvel is also in Avengers Unleashed, voiced again by Kathreen Khavari. Introduced to the series in episode "I'm Only Inhuman", she appears prominently in the series as one of the students of Avengers Academy. She is close friends with Nova and Kid Arachnid.
  • Kamala also appears in Iago PUC's version of The Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3, voiced again by Kathreen Khavari.
  • Kamala is also in Iago PUC's version of Marvel's Spider-Man, voiced again by Kathreen Khavari. In the show, she is a founding member of Spider-Man's team, the Champions, and is in a relationship with Miles Morales, although they decide to keep it in secret from most people except their teammates.
    • In Season 2, she is revealed to have been orphaned by the attack of Kree soldiers who killed her parents while searching for Oscorp's technology in New Jersey, for which Kamala blames Norman Osborn, who only cared about his tech. In aftermath, Kamala was raised by Betty Brant as her own. Later, during a battle between her teammates and Ronan's crew for the Power siblings' lives, Kamala earns a new nanotech suit (similar to the one she wore in The Magnificent Ms. Marvel), giving her suit a new look.
    • She also appears in the show's spin-off web-series Marvel's Ant-Girl as a supporting character.
    • She also appears in the Hulu-exclusive spin-off series Marvel's Astonishing Thunderbolts. While she is as disgusted as Spider-Man is of the Thunderbolts' destructive and violent nature, Ms. Marvel is also shown to be in good terms with Gwenpool, although she occasionally keeps wondering who Gwenpool is talking to whenever Gwen breaks the fourth wall.
    • Kamala is also in the crossover TV movie Marvel's Transformers: Assemble and Roll Out. She along with the Marvel superheroes team up with the Autobots to defeat Darkspine and stop a war between the super-villains and the Decepticons. She is shown to have a good relationship with Bumblebee.
  • Ms. Marvel also appears as a playable character and supporting protagonist in Marvel/DC Heroes Unite!, voiced again by Kathreen Khavari. She along with the other Marvel heroes team up with the DC Universe superheroes to stop Thanoseid from destroying their both dimensions. She is also shown to be best friends with Stargirl and the Rookie hero/heroine.
  • Ms. Marvel is a playable character in Marvel's The Avenging Spider-Man, voiced again by Kathreen Khavari. She plays a role in the story in which she is a friend to Miles Morales and (like him) one of Spider-Man's most dedicated fans. Also, as in the comics, she writes fan-fiction about her heroes (including Captain Marvel) in internet. And her stories consequently become popular enough to ruin J. Jonah Jameson's career as a conspiracy theorist when she indirectly causes a mob of citizens to protest against Jameson's attempts to discredit Spider-Man; it is later mentioned that she recently wrote a fan-fiction of Spider-Man fighting Adolf Hitler in defense of human rights. She and her friends Gwen Stacy and Anya Corazon become targets of Jameson's revenge until they are saved in public by Spider-Man, leading Jameson to be removed from his podcast and arrested, while the Webslinger was praised as a greater hero and elected as a member of the Avengers. Later on, she becomes one of the many Inhuman descendants who are affected by the Terrigen Mist and she manifests her Size / Shapeshifting powers. Taking on her idol Captain Marvel's old alias of Ms. Marvel, Kamala begins her own crime-fighting campaign with Mary Jane Watson (as Firestar) becoming her mentor. She is also among the superheroes who help Spider-Man stop Thanos's invasion of Earth and Attilan. In the epilogue, Kamala attends to Mary Jane's marriage with Peter. In a mid-credits scene, she discovers that Gwen and Anya earned spider-powers, and wonders if she should tell the other heroes about it.

One of the many superheroes participating in the titular racing tournament hosted by the Grandmaster, Kamala has two karts: the Sloth Baby (a kart resembling a 1983 Alfa Romeo 183T with the colors and details of Kamala's Ms. Marvel suit, back wheels which are twice the size of the front wheels, and red ribbons attached to the antenna) and the Mini Marvel (a scooter based on Kamala's Embiggen Bike from the Disney Junior 2021 animated series Spidey and his Amazing Friends). She is also one of the two starting characters (next to Spider-Man) in the game's story mode.

She is also close friends with Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson, and an intern of the Fantastic Four.

Academy under Spider-Man's offer as a new student. Her Stormranger suit (which ends up absorbing the prototype Tesseract to prevent it from destroying everything) also ends up earning a new upgrade which also gives Kamala's outfit a new look and set of capabilities.
