THE COMIC IS FORESTED TO FAIL IN THE MARKET

The increasingly critical comics lovers today make Marvel have to fight hard to create new ideas. And one of them came from the editor of Sana Amanat, when she told her colleague about her life as a Muslim woman, Stephen Wacker, to produce a unique concept which later attracted comic writer G. Willow Wilson's interest. Despite having 3 factors that made it certain to fail in the market according to the trend of the comic industry at that time – new characters, female gender, coming from minorities – they started a series starring Kamala Khan as Ms. Latest Marvels.

And apparently, the result turned 180 degrees because the figure actually received a warm welcome from comic lovers. Even former American President Barack Obama is mentioned as a fan of the superheroine! The comic series also received the prestigious Hugo Awards in 2015 for the category “Best Graphic Story.”

COMING FROM THE INHUMAN RACE

Since childhood, Kamala Khan is known to be very fond of Marvel superheroes, and often dreams of becoming one of them – especially Carol Danvers as her idol. His dream comes true after one night, he is exposed to the Terrigen Mist from the Terrigen Bomb detonated by Black Bolt, which awakens superpowers within him as a polymorph. Apparently, it happened because he had Inhuman genes in his body, a race of super-powered humans created from modified Kree technology.

To be more precise, Kamala is part of NuHuman, a term to describe the descendants of Inhumans who marry ordinary humans. Unlike the mutants, whose powers appear after they reach puberty, the powers of the Inhumans (including their descendants, NuHuman) only appear when exposed to the Terrigen Mist, which is produced by the Terrigen Crystal.

CHAMPIONS FOUNDER

Disappointed to witness the discord among the Avengers without considering the consequences for ordinary people, especially in the Civil War II story arc, Kamala and her two friends - Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Nova (Sam Alexander) - decided to leave the team. Trying to restore public trust in superheroes, they also formed a team together with Hulk/Brawn (Amadeus Cho) and Viv Vision. After completing their first mission, which is to help girls who are victims of human trafficking, as well as Kamala's speech about her team that went viral on the internet, people also called them Champions.

NOT THE FIRST MARVEL MUSLIM SUPERHERO

When introduced for the first time, Marvel said that Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) marked the first time a comic series starred in Muslim characters. And it must be admitted that it played a major role in popularizing the character created by Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker. Even so, did you know that Kamala was not the first Muslim character created by Marvel?

This Afghan-born mutant can turn his entire body into a sandstorm. After being rescued by the X-Men team, he becomes a student at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning.

This Sarajevo-born woman has two different abilities. As Penance, he is equipped with super hard skin, hair and sharp claws. While as M, all of his abilities (strength, speed, agility) are in the super stage, can fly fast, telekinesis and others. Originally part of the Generation X team, he is now a member of the X-Corporation, an organization created to protect the human rights of mutants

EVER HAD AN EVIL ALIEN COSTUME

Did you guys know that just like Spider-Man, Kamala Khan has an alien costume which, unfortunately, gives birth to an evil twin like Venom? While venturing to the planet Saffa, his Inhuman DNA activates a Stormranger Nanosuit created by the Kree who was there, then fuses with his Biokinetic Polymer Suit costume. Kamala also brought him back to Earth because the costume was able to increase his strength.

However, on two occasions, namely when dealing with Discord and Mister Hyde, the AI ​​in the costume tries to control our hero to finish off his enemy! Because Kamala rejected it, the AI ​​then separated and manifested itself as a figure similar to himself with the name Stormranger.

BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Kamala has many positive qualities that make her liked by everyone. No wonder it brought him the presidency of the United States of America! This happens in one of the future versions of Earth-18366, the setting for the All-New Wolverine comic series. In the final story arc, “Old Woman Laura,” Laura Kinney aka X-23 – now retired and the queen of Madripoor – asks her best friend to help her find her clone, Bellona Kinney. And the friend in question is the President of the United States, who is none other than Kamala Khan!

SOURCE OF POWER: NEGA-BANDS?

Apparently, the source of Kamala Khan's strength in the comic version and the live action series is very different, you know! In the series that will air in the near future, as shown in the trailer, Ms. Marvel has various other superpowers – most notably the ability to control cosmic energy. And all of them are activated through a bracelet which (according to various sources) is called Nega-Bands.
