In a new TV series from Marvel Studios, we finally get a superhero who is Muslim. Yet considering we never get much insight into any superhero's religion, maybe it would be better to say we get out first superhero who descends from a Middle Eastern culture. Yet Ms. Marvel is still more than that. While much has been made of Spider-Man's youth, our Ms. Marvel hero Kamala Khan is the first superhero on screen who honestly comes across as a real teenager, with all the dreams and aspirations, fears, and frustrations that entails. Ms. Marvel is a six-episode miniseries, and will prepare audiences for Ms. Marvel's inclusion in the film The Marvels, set for 2023.
Kamala Khan is actually the fourth Ms. Marvel in the comic books, after Carol Danvers, Sharon Ventura, and Karla Sofen. Get some background on how her Ms. Marvel came about in the comics. Ms. Marvel premiere June 8 on Disney+.
