Marvel introduces Muslim superhero in 'Ms. Marvel #1'

Someone’s creating a new superhero, which means it must be a day of the week ending in “y.” But Marvel Comics’ announcement about a new Ms. Marvel series deserves special attention. The company announced in a press release today that the new Ms. Marvel will be a superhero of the Islamic faith — the first-ever Muslim title character from Marvel Comics and pretty much the first Muslim superhero from the mainstream comic publishers to get her own monthly book. (Although last year DC introduced Simon Baz, a new Green Lantern who’s currently a member of the Justice League.)

According to the press release, the new Ms. Marvel’s real name is Kamala Khan, a 16-year-old from Jersey City. “Kamala has all of her opportunities in front her and she is loaded with potential, but her parents’ high expectations come with tons of pressure,” Marvel describes. “When Kamala suddenly gets powers that give her the opportunity to be just like her idol, Captain Marvel, it challenges the very core of her conservative values.”

The “Ms. Marvel” name previously belonged to Carol Danvers, a blonde Air Force badass who got fused with Alien genes and developed superpowers. Danvers is now known as Captain Marvel, not to be confused with the Captain Marvel who died in the ’80s or the Captain Marvel from DC Comics who everyone just calls Shazam. (Comic books!) The new Ms. Marvel will feature in a special issue in January before her series begins in February. Which means we only have a couple months to decide: Is America really ready for a superhero from New Jersey?

    I'm so confused by the last paragraph (then again, I'm not into comics and the like).

    I will say though, the chick has one HUGE left hand.

    A Muslim woman who is portrayed as a super hero .... Good for Marvel

    I have a feeling that extreme Islam is not going to be happy with this. :|

    Yes! I was so impressed listening to her speak during a news piece recently. What a brave, well-spoken and intelligent young lady.

    But she's going to get hammered by Thor and pounded by Iron Man and caught in a deadly web by Spider Man and crushed by the Hulk and finally pummeled by Polaris... or Polaris_x... right? :lol: ....

    I was hoping for more of a traditional look with the black cloak from head to toe and only the mysterious eyes showing. Instead they have tried to make her look like she is straight out of compton.

    I was happy to hear this. And I agree about Malala being a superhero in real life.

    You can spend your time alone, redigesting past regrets, oh
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense     - Present Tense

    Yeah, definitely not Tehran. Ms Marvel the Islamic Super-heroine is either liberated-- if as in, the movement going on in France then I'd say some district of Paris-- or if the comic strip makers are from So Cal and haven't heard about that then, yep, could be Compton.
