Ms. Marvel
Kamala Khan is a fictional superheroine appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker, writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Adrian Alphona, Khan is Marvel's first Muslim character to headline her own comic book. Khan made her first appearance in Captain Marvel #14 before headlining the Ms. Marvel comic book series in February 2014. Within the Marvel Universe, Khan is a teenage Pakistani American from New Jersey with shapeshifting abilities, who discovers that she has Inhuman genes in the aftermath of the "Inhumanity" storyline and assumes the codename Ms. Marvel from her idol Carol Danvers. Marvel's announcement that a Muslim character would headline a comic book was met with widespread online reactions and the first issue of Ms. Marvel received favorable reviews from critics.
