Fun facts: MS. MARVEL HAS ALSO BEEN A VILLAIN

Kamala got her powers along with a large population of the Earth, following the release of the Terrigen Mists, a powerful transforming agent used by the Inhumans to activate their powers. When the Mists were released into Earth's atmosphere, they activated a number of latent Inhuman genes, with some gaining incredible powers like Kamala. There has been a bit of discussion regarding a possible origin change for Ms. Marvel in the MCU, considering the less than stellar reception the quickly canceled Inhumans TV series received. However, it is just as likely that Ms. Marvel could relaunch the Inhuman brand properly into the MCU, so it remains to be seen which direction Marvel Studios will take the character. Marvel has found huge success with teen heroes over the years, dating back to the relatable Peter Parker, who first began his adventures as Spider-Man when he was in High School. Ms. Marvel aimed to capture that same success with a wave of young heroes that popped up in the Marvel NOW era. Kamala Khan goes to high school in Jersey City, slightly removed from the larger scale superhero events that usually take place in Manhattan. Her series not only focused on her developing superhero career but also Kamala's time with her family, her friends, and her life as a typical, albeit superpowered, Muslim teenager. Following Kamala's Terrignesis, which formed a protective cocoon around her as she changed, she emerged in a completely different body, that of a younger Carol Danvers in her Ms. Marvel form. Kamala was surprised by this, but eventually realized she was a polymorph and capable of changing her shape at will. This lead to a number of different but related powers, including her size-altering or "embiggening," which allows her to elongate her arms and legs, or even just increase her overall size to stand as tall as a building. She can also mimic the appearances of others with intense concentration, as she did when she first developed her powers. Another helpful addition to her powers is a very impressive healing factor, that has allowed her to recover from serious wounds like gunshots by focusing her shape-changing abilities on healing. She was even tutored in how to use her healing abilities by Wolverine, who might be the most knowledgable character in Marvel when it comes to healing factors. The one downside to Kamala's healing is that it requires the totality of her powers to recover from large injuries, meaning she is restricted to her normal human form when healing. if she is forced to shape-shift during the recovery period, it can interrupt the healing process and take longer for her to recover. Ms. Marvel is kind of rare in the Marvel Universe as she became incredibly popular among fans very fast, which led to a number of appearances outside of her own title, including alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers. Kamala was invited to join the All-New, All-Different Avengers alongside two other young heroes who were also making
