As in, Kamala Khan is a mutant.īut we'll put a pin in that for now - as the bangle itself still has mystical importance in the MCU.Ī big part of Kamala's origin story and first arc as a hero in comic books is her self-doubt that people will take her seriously as a superhero due to her age, appearance, religious beliefs, and ethnicity.
