Ms. Marvel

Powers

Mutant-Inhuman Hybrid Physiology: Kamala possesses Inhuman lineage while also being a mutant, formerly dormant, with each side of her mixed heritage giving her unique powers.[27] Inhuman Physiology: Kamala's Inhuman powers were activated by the Terrigen Bomb, causing her to become a polymorph, which grants her the following abilities: Morphogenetics:[101] Kamala's cells manifest mutable properties due to the fact that she is able to share her mass through time with different versions of herself. On a molecular level, Ms. Marvel time-travels whenever she uses her powers.[102] Kamala can stretch, deform, expand, or compress her entire body or parts thereof into any contiguous shape she can imagine for a variety of uses: Elongation: Kamala can extend her limbs, torso, or neck to great distances.[103] Size Alteration: Kamala can adjust her height and stature adding upon her already impressive physical abilities,[citation needed] from shrinking to the size of an action figure,[11] to grow as tall as a building structure (Over 100 feet tall) [35][42] With this ability she has also made her body as thin as paper.[43] Accelerated Healing: Kamala is capable of rapidly healing from injuries such as bullet wounds; however, use of her other powers interrupts the healing process, requiring Kamala to maintain her normal appearance while recovering.[36] Extensive healing also leaves Kamala heavily-fatigued and hungry;[16] although, it appears the more she utilizes her healing ability, the less malleable her cells become, which prevents her from utilizing the full range of her morphogenic abilities.[18] Appearance Alteration: Kamala possesses the power to alter her physical appearance including her hair and clothing,[31] and could even alter her appearance enough to mimic inanimate objects.[31] Ms. Marvel feared she had lost this ability due to her healing factor reducing the elasticity of her cells,[101] but this power is still present and is used on rare occasion.

Weaknesses

Electromagnetic Pulses: Ms. Marvel's body is vulnerable to EMPs, which can weaken her elasticity.[40] Overexerted Healing: Overuse of her healing factor temporarily weakens Ms. Marvel's elasticity powers.[18] Quantum Hijacking: Due to the spread nature of her powers across the quantum manifestations, Kamala's power works like wi-fi. If someone else is connected, they can pull the mass transference to themselves, rather than let Kamala have it, and send images into Kamala's mind.[105]

Biography

Kamala Khan, a.k.a. Ms. Marvel, is a Muslim Pakistani-American from New Jersey.[28] She possesses latent Inhuman lineage activated by the Terrigen Bomb. When she was exposed to the Terrigen Mist she became a polymorph with the ability to stretch her body in almost any way imaginable.[29] Kamala was a huge fan of superheroes, especially Carol Danvers, the former Ms. Marvel. She went on to become the newest holder of the Ms. Marvel identity.[30] Kamala later discovered that she is also a mutant, making her a rare mutant-Inhuman hybrid.[27]

Early Life

Kamala was born in Jersey City, the daughter of Yusuf Khan and Muneeba Khan. Her parents and her older brother, Aamir Khan moved to the United States from Karachi, Pakistan.[31] In kindergarten, Kamala met Nakia Bahadir, who went on to become Kamala's best friend. Like Kamala, Nakia was a practicing Muslim and the daughter of immigrants.[29] Kamala Khan (Earth-616) from Marvel 75th Anniversary Celebration Vol 1 1 001 Young Kamala Khan Later, when Kamala was entering the second grade, the Khan family met one of her new classmates, Bruno Carrelli. The teacher, Ms. Bartholomew, told the Khans that Bruno's mother had recently lost custody of Bruno and his younger brother Vick. The Carrelli brothers had been sent to live with their grandparents, immigrants from Italy, and their family had been struggling to make ends meet. They had not been able to pay for Bruno's activities, and young Bruno had become something of a pariah. The Khans offered to pay the boy's fees and sent their daughter to play with him. Though reluctant at first, Kamala and Bruno soon formed a close bond over their shared background coming from immigrant families and their love for the animated TV series Tween Mutant Samurai Turtles.[32] Kamala found solace with her two best friends, Bruno and Nakia, something she sorely needed. Though proud and respectful of her heritage and faith, Kamala always felt different and was often mocked by her other peers for her nerdy interests and strict parents.[33] In addition to her friendship with Nakia and Bruno, Kamala found escape in her love of video games, social media, fan fiction, and above all, superheroes. She devotedly followed the career of Carol Danvers, the former Ms. Marvel who had recently started going by the nom de guerre Captain Marvel.[34]

History Part 1

One night, hoping to prove herself to be more than the odd duck, Kamala went against her parents' wishes -- and Bruno's -- to go to a party at the Jersey Waterfront; however, her classmates, particularly Zoe Zimmer and Zoe's boyfriend Josh Richardson, kept teasing and ostracizing her. Miserable, Kamala was on her way home when Jersey City was suddenly blanketed in the Terrigen Mists, and Kamala along with it. Kamala Khan (Earth-616) from Ms. Marvel Vol 3 2 001 Exposed to the Terrigen mist Unconscious in her Terrigen cocoon, Kamala saw an unusual vision of three of her favorite super heroes -- Captain America, Iron Man, and, of course, Captain Marvel. The heroes scolded the girl for her disobedience and asked her what she wanted in life. Kamala mused that she wanted to be more like Captain Marvel, who she described as "beautiful and awesome and butt-kicking and less complicated". When the vision ended and Kamala emerged from her Terrigenesis, she was shocked to find that she had literally been transformed into a younger Carol Danvers in her Ms. Marvel costume.[31] Taken aback, Kamala struggled to gain control of her new powers. After giving herself some time to calm down, Kamala discovered she was now a polymorph and could change her body into virtually anything. As she ran through the neighborhood, she eventually found herself back at the Waterfront, where she saw a drunk Josh Richardson cause Zoe Zimmer to fall into the river. Instinctively, Kamala changed into Ms. Marvel and rescued Zoe by enlarging her arm to pull Zoe to safety. Needless to say, the residents of Jersey City and the local media were fairly surprised by such a sight, and Kamala fled the scene. Upon returning home, Kamala realized that there was more to being like Carol Danvers than looking like her. As horribly as Zoe had treated her, she was glad and proud that she had rescued her. She wanted to continue that, but it seemed unlikely that would happen, as she was promptly grounded by her parents

History Part 2

Eventually her punishment ended and while Bruno was working at the neighborhood convenience store, Circle Q, Kamala went to visit him. There she encountered an armed robbery in progress, and abandoning her desire to reconcile with her friend over the circumstances her grounding, Kamala jumped into action in an attempt to stop the burglar, but was shot in the process.[35] Luckily, Kamala discovered that she had a second power: she could heal from her injuries by simply shifting back to her true form, outing herself to her friend in the process. Bruno explained the thief she had just faced was his younger brother Vick, who had gotten involved with a mysterious person called the "Inventor" and was being forced to break the law for him. Concerned, the two friends traced Vick to a seemingly-abandoned house in Greenville. Kamala put together a makeshift super hero costume out of her swimsuit and a domino mask as she went to Vick's rescue. She soon realized that she was not alone, as the house filled with the Inventor's other teenage minions, led by a boy named Doyle with a small army worth of mechanical spiders.[36] Coles Academic High School from Ms. Marvel Vol 3 5 001 Kamala's initial rescue attempt failed as she was overpowered by Doyle and his robot spiders, and on her arrival back home was met by her upset parents. Her father cheered her up by reminding her how much she meant to them, "perfect the way she is". Kamala took it to heart and spent the next day with Bruno developing her powers and making a costume. She later went back to successfully rescue Vick from Doyle, but earned the Inventor's wrath for her actions, Kamala swore that she would protect Jersey City from him as Ms. Marvel.[16]

Champions Era

After Spider-Man and Nova quit the Avengers, Kamala also resigned after the Avengers didn't want to help the little people. Together, the three ex-Avengers formed a team called the Champions alongside the new Hulk, the Vision's daughter Vivian ("Viv" for short), and the time-displaced Cyclops. Together, they defeated Pagliacci,[75] stopped Islamic fundamentalists in Sharzhad,[76] freed themselves from the Atlantean Navy,[77] and tried to stop hate crimes in Daly Country caused by Sheriff Studdard.[78] They also participated in the world-wide monster invasion.[79] The team temporarily broke up following Hydra's conquest of the United States, because Nova, Cyclops, and Kamala were all busy elsewhere. At this time Kamala worked with other Inhumans, fighting to free their kind from internment camps.[80] Meanwhile the remaining three Champions worked with Black Widow, alongside the teenage Falcon, Ironheart, and the new Wasp.[81] After the impostor Steve Rogers was defeated, the Champions reunited. They teamed up with the Avengers to fight the High Evolutionary, only for Viv to sacrifice herself.[82][83] The team then went on a recruitment drive, bringing in Ironheart, Wasp, Falcon, Patriot, and Red Locust. Riri and Nadia would stay on full time; however, Cyclops quit the team, telling only Kamala in person and leaving her to inform the others.[84]

Dark Web Part 1

After helping with setting up Christmas decorations around the Islamic Masjid of Jersey City with her friends she went to work for her new job over at Oscorp, despite Nakia objecting to her employment under a distrustful corporation and boss. While working with fellow co-worker Arjun, who had feelings for her, their equipment became possessed by Demons. With Arjun being knocked out, Kamala quickly changed to her superhero persona and proceeded to destroy the demonically-possessed technology. Arjun regained his senses, but was attacked by demonic toilets, forcing her to rescue him. He inquired about Kamala and why she rejected his feelings, with Ms. Marvel responding that Kamala was safe but she didn't feel comfortable with being in a romantic relationship following her previous troubled relationships. As they made their way outside the Oscorp building the two came across Chasm at the entrance who decided to send her to Limbo.[87] In Limbo, Marvel was attacked by demons who sent her back to Earth. Once back, she found out that the Masjid became possessed, with her friends still inside. She sought to save them, but was confronted by the Inventor, this time accompanied by his fellow bird-based clones of famous geniuses. Calling themselves the Inventors they attacked Ms. Marvel alongside the invading demons. Thankfully, Miles arrived just in time to her aid, helping save her friends from the possessed Masjid, allowing Kamala to fight the attackers. The other Inventors fled, leaving the original one to take down Ms. Marvel by himself. He succeeded in attaching a device on Kamala, controlling her powers, and forced her to assume a worm-like form so he could eat her. Bruno quickly arrived and used an EMP to not only deactivate the device, but also the chip inside the Inventor's brain, killing him. She then joined Miles who was able to talk the possessed Masjid down.[88] Continuing to help with the demonic invasion, she came across Codex and Red Goblin fighting Bedlam.

Dark Web Part 2

She attempted to break up the fight as they were endangering innocent civilians, but as Codex argued with her, Bedlam fled, forcing Red Goblin to go after him. The two noticed this and quickly joined him in fighting Bedlam, in the process Ms. Marvel discovered that the symbiote-augmented heroes were just children. After Bedlam got away thanks to the Goblin Queen, the three teenagers then began discussing over the boys' decision to don the symbiotes and become heroes despite being young and inexperienced.[90] During the final battle between Spider-Man, the X-Men, and King Chasm with his lover, Hallow's Eve, Ms. Marvel arrived alongside Gold Goblin to help. Ms. Marvel was able to take down Hallow's Eve, allowing the heroes to defeat Chasm and stop the demon invasion.[91]

The New Mutant Part 1

Kamala's continued involvement with Spider-Man resulted in her untimely death at he hands of the Emissary, the harbinger of the evil deity Wayeb. The Emissary had marked Spider-Man's ally Mary Jane Watson as a sacrifice for a ritual to obtain his god's power. While using her shape-shifting abilities to impersonate Mary Jane and misdirect Rabin, Kamala was caught off-guard and impaled by the villain. Although Kamala's deception tainted Rabin's ceremony, causing Wayeb to kill him in retaliation, she was unable to heal from her injuries and died.[15] The mourning for Ms. Marvel's death was twofold since her secret identity wasn't disclosed post-mortem, and Kamala herself was believed to be one of the many civilians that went missing or killed during Wayeb's attack.[92] Unbeknownst to the young heroine, and the world at large, Kamala's genetic heritage was not exclusive to Inhumanity. She was a hybrid, and effectively half-mutant, although her X-gene had never manifested. Around this time, mutantkind had established a sovereign nation in the island of Krakoa, and had managed to confect an intricate resurrection process to which every single mutant was automatically a beneficiary of under Krakoan law. The X-Men had previously found out Kamala's heritage, but Cyclops never got the chance to disclose it to her before she died. A few days following Kamala's death, she was returned to life by the Five and welcomed to mutantkind. Kamala's resurrection coincided with the preparations for the annual Hellfire Gala, and she was invited with hopes that she would publicly reveal her dual heritage to improve Krakoa's international relations. However, the gala became the epicenter of a worldwide attack on mutants by the anti-mutant think tank Orchis. Kamala was some of the few mutants who managed to telepathically resist being sent off-world through the Krakoan gateways by Professor X while under Orchis' chokehold, and instead escaped

The New Mutant Part 2

Kamala was returned home, and the mutant telepath Emma Frost used both her powers and connections to erase all traces of Khan's death from her loved ones. Despite Frost's urging not to involve herself with mutant affairs for her own sake, Ms. Marvel joined the underground resistance that had become the X-Men as a new wave of anti-mutant sentiment backed by Orchis swept the globe.[20] To fill in her missing memories of her death left out from the Krakoan backup, Kamala met with Spider-Man, who explained and apologized for the circumstances surrounding her death and revealed his identity as Peter Parker to her. Kamala was amazed to know Peter and Spider-Man were the same person, and acknowledged that they both worked at Oscorp for the same reason: to keep Osborn in check. She eventually left to the X-Men, on good terms with Spider-Man.[93] Weeks after the Hellfire Gala, Kamala was tasked by the X-Men to infiltrate a summer program funded by Orchis at Empire State University to uncover the think tank's secret laboratory on the campus. While rescuing students from an escaped Chitauri, Kamala donned an X-themed version of her super hero costume in hopes to temper the anti-mutant sentiment. Instead, Ms. Marvel was harassed by the anti-mutant students, which caught the attention of Orchis' leader Omega Sentinel.[94] Since her resurrection, Kamala had been plagued by recurring dreams. She confided in Bruno about these nightmares and also revealed her death, resurrection and mutation to him as well. Bruno vowed to help her and constructed a machine to help analyze her dreams while she slept.[95] Orchis scientist Dr. Nitika Gaiha attempted to arm a psychic bomb previously implanted by a microscopic drone in Kamala's head, but Kamala was able to fight off the bomb's program in her sleep while Bruno located and hacked the drone.[96] Despite Bruno's efforts, Orchis was able to locate Kamala and sent a Stark Sentinel after her. Kamala destroyed the Sentinel.

Personality

Kamala is a nice kid with an ordinary life, but who has trouble fitting in and always feels a smidgen off-kilter. She sincerely loves her family, but also feels some resentment about her culture and religion always making her different, and getting in the way of her being one of the cool kids. As a consequence, most of her preferred activities are online, where she can be pseudonymous as a gamer and fanfic writer. She doesn’t have many friends IRL. And there’s no Pakistani American community in her corner of Jersey (most people at the masjid seem to be Turkish American or Iranian American). She’s proud of being a Jersey girl, though. Kamala is also very easy to arouse, is very sexually curious. Experimented with Miles Morales (only doing blowjobs)
