Ms. Marvel, also known as Kamala Khan, is a fictional superhero who appears in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Adrian Alphona, she made her first appearance in Captain Marvel #14 in August 2013.
Kamala Khan is a Pakistani-American teenager living in Jersey City, New Jersey. She is an enthusiastic fan of superheroes, especially Carol Danvers, the original Ms. Marvel who later became Captain Marvel.

Kamala represents a diverse and modern representation of a superhero, tackling issues such as identity, religion, and cultural heritage. Through her stories, Marvel Comics aims to promote inclusivity and provide a voice for underrepresented groups.
Since her introduction, Ms. Marvel has gained significant popularity and critical acclaim. She has become a prominent figure in the Marvel Universe, appearing in numerous comic book series, animated shows, and video games. In 2019, Marvel Studios announced that Kamala Khan would also be featured in her own live-action television series on Disney+.
