About Kamala Khan in brief
Kamala Khan is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is a teenage Pakistani American from Jersey City, New Jersey with shapeshifting abilities. Khan made her first appearance in Captain Marvel #14 before going on to star in the solo series Ms. Marvel, which debuted in February 2014. The character was voiced by Sandra Saad in the 2020 action-adventure video game Marvel’s Avengers. Iman Vellani is set to portray Khan in the Marvel Cinematic Universe streaming television series Ms Marvel on Disney+. She will also reprise the role in the film Captain Marvel 2. The series marked the first time a Muslim character headlined a book at Marvel Comics, but Khan is not the first Muslim character in comic books, which include Simon Baz, Dust and M.A.C.Khan’s costume was influenced by the shalwar kameez. They wanted the costume to represent her cultural identity, but did not want her to wear a hijab, because the majority of teenage Pakistani-American girls do not wear one. Khan takes the name Ms. Marvel from Carol Danvers, who now goes by the alias Captain Marvel. She discovers that she has Inhuman genes in the aftermath of the \”Inhumanity\” storyline and assumes the mantle of Ms. Marvel from her idol Carol. Danvers after Danvers becomes Captain Marvel and becomes a superhero herself. The first volume of Ms Marvel won the Hugo Award for best graphic story in 2015.
It was written by G. Willow Wilson and drawn by Adrian Alphona. It explores Khan’s conflicts with supervillains but also explores conflicts with Khan’s home and religious duties. As much as Islam is a part of Kamala’s identity, she wants her identity, in particular, to be about how you struggle with how that forms your sense of self. It’s a struggle we’ve all faced one form or another, and isn’t just particular to Kamala because she’s Muslim because she defines herself in one aspect of the many ways she is just like everyone else, says writer Willow Wilson. Khan’s brother is extremely conservative, her mom is paranoid that she’s going to touch a boy and get pregnant and her father wants her to concentrate on her studies and become a doctor. Khan is also a convert to Islam, and Wilson said, ‘It was really important for me to portray Kamala as someone who is struggling with her faith. It’s about what happens when you, the labels imposed on you, want your identity, your self to be more than what you think it should be’ The series came from a desire to explore the Muslim-American diaspora from an authentic perspective. Wilson initially considered making her an Arab girl from Dearborn, Michigan but ultimately chose to create a Desi girl from Jersey city. She said that Jersey City has been referred to as New York City’s ‘Sixth borough’ since most of Marvel Comics’ stories are set in Manhattan.
