Ms. Marvel

Kamala Khan.

I guess we're not going to AvengerCon.

A cosplay competition for Carol Danvers

at the greatest fan event of the year.

My costume is near perfect, just pending the final flourish.

This is so cool. Is this Nani's?

That is junk.

Your teachers, they're telling me you're doodling all day

in your fantasy land.

It's not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world.

So, there's this thing called AvengerCon.

Celebrating our great heroes of our time.

So you want to go to a party? Is this a joke?

Check this out.

Teenage girl at AvengerCon.

-I've never seen powers like that. -Bring her in.

Who do you want to be in this world?

I've seen what happens when people get obsessed with their fantasies.

You're Kamala Khan.

You wanna save the world? Then you're gonna save the world.

Cosmic.

'Sup?

Hey.

Morning, Camelia. -Morning.

Been meaning to tell you for years,

my name is pronounced "Kamala."

Huh.

-What's up? -Hey.

Hey, guys. Scoot. Thank you.

You know what I love about AirPods

is that you don't actually have to stand this close to each other.

I love you guys! I'm rooting for you!

Favorite couple. Yeah!

I am so sorry!

No worries.

-Sorry. I need to see it. -(GASPS)

The videos you sent were flashes of pink light and I didn't see anything.

You didn't see anything? I tried to shrink and fly

and talk to ants. None of it worked.

What makes you think you have Ant-Man powers?

Because we're both charming, and we look a lot younger than we are.

It was crazy.

Everybody says that I should've been live streaming it,

but I really just wanted to live in the moment, you know?

I heard Zoe's follower count, like, quadrupled this weekend.

I mean, she had physical contact with a superhero.

Obviously people are gonna be interested.

I wonder if it's because she knew that, like,

I could be the one to handle it.

Dude, just imagine how many followers the girl who saved her would get.

I feel like secret identities are secret for a reason.

But a million followers?

That's great. Can you show me, please?

Okay. Theater, after lunch.

-Why are we hopping? -Zoe's famous.

-Gross. -I mean, it all happened so fast.

One moment, I was posing for a couple of pictures

and then all of a sudden, there was all this screaming,

and I was thrown to the ground.

And then this beautiful white light, like, cascaded over me.

I felt this wave of calmness, like, I knew I was safe.

There's another superhero catastrophe and she's sitting there,

bragging about being saved by the budget Captain Marvel.

Thank you.

-What? -Thank you. Yeah.

Thank you, yeah. Someone finally said it.

That Zoe, dude, she just talks and talks.

Okay, calm down.

So who was it?

Uh... Night Light.

Yeah. Night Light.

But she keeps, like, a really low profile, so...

But it was all just so life-changing.

Which is why I'm gonna have a party on Friday.

You know, to celebrate the fragility of life.

Also the half a million followers thing,

but mostly the fragility of life.

She's celebrating the fragility of life.

Yeah, we're so not going to that party.

Hey, you're that new senior, right?

-Kamran. -Uh, yeah.

Well, I'm having a party on Friday, you should come.

Um...

Yeah, no, that sounds really fun, actually.

-Yeah. -Thank you.

-Cool. I'll DM you the details. Yeah.

We should go to that party.

Mmm-hmm.

What?

I really don't want to go to Zoe's. It'll be fun.

Wow, that's...

Amazing.

How does it feel?

Like an idea come to life.

Uh...

So I guess super strength is not a part of the equation.

Yeah, maybe I should've tried harder in gym.

I saved you.

Only because you almost killed me first.

Okay, maybe I do need to work on my skills.

Okay, no super strength. All I got is this.

So it looks like your power isn't coming from the bangle.

It's coming from within you.

Like the bangle unlocked the superhuman part of you.

So, what, am I like Asgardian or something?

-Dude, am I related to Thor? -No, no. I didn't say any of that.

Bruno! -Maybe?

Thanks, man.

Yeah!

Does that look like some kind of writing to you?

It's hard to read, um...

Looks like Arabic or Urdu? I don't know.

Okay. Well, let's focus on what we know.

Light comes out of you and it hardens.

Let's call it "Hard Light."

Groundbreaking.

Okay, hold on.

Please let me go.

You have to let me go.

Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo!

Yes!

Always the same two that are late.

You're kidding me!

Move over.

-(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING) -(GIRL GIGGLES)

Take that again. It's hideous.

Tag it hashtag mosque life. Or hashtag Deen.

-Hey! -Come on!

-Shh! -No Snapchatting in the masjid!

It's Insta! -Shh!

They really gotta fix this place.

Uh, no, you mean they gotta fix our section of this place.

See, but the men's section is pristine.

Small acts of everyday kindness...

We got mold under the carpets and the walls are literally crumbling.

We can't just stick up a poster for every piece of plaster that falls.

Sisters, no talking during the lecture, please.

Sorry, Sheikh Abdullah, you know,

it's really hard to concentrate when we can barely see you.

Sister Kamala! How glad I am that you've joined us today.

The partition and the side entrance

are there to preserve all our modesty and dignity.

Thank you, Sister Kamala,

for reminding us that it is important to share your voice.

Though perhaps except during my lecture.

Oh!

And another reminder,

nominations are still open for the Mosque Board election.

Oh, my God, Naks, you should totally run.

Are you crazy?

Do I look like a 90-year-old man to you?

-Sometimes... -No.

-Just... -Stop that. I hate you.

No, no, no, no, no, no! Kamala, somebody stole my shoes!

My new Versaces.

And the mosque shoe thief has struck again.

That is the 22nd pair of shoes that have been stolen

and the uncles don't even care.

Maybe a woman for the Mosque Board actually makes some change around here.

Yeah.

Wait, no, actually, 'cause Uncle Rasheed is running.

-(RASHEED LAUGHING) -And clearly everyone loves him.

-Are you serious? -Yes.

Rasheed's got nothing on you, baby, okay?

You're the change. The change is here, and the change is her, everyone.

Yeah, you know what? Maybe I will run.

Yeah.

-You're gonna be my campaign manager. -What?

I can help you.

Oh, hi. Thank you.

Right.

I'm really sorry about sneaking out.

Kamala, I know that you are growing up,

but I need you to stay safe.

That's all that matters.

I know.

Also, I know this is the worst possible time to ask but...

Kamala Khan.

If you're gonna ask something about AvengerCon Two or...

No, no, no, no, no. No.

Zoe's having some people over tonight.

Bruno and Nakia will both be there. And I'll be home by 9:00.

Please can I go?

Okay.

But this time, you see that you come back through the door.

Thank you.

Nakia!
