The recent Ms. Marvel series has garnered attention for its unique take on the titular character, Kamala Khan. One significant aspect that has fans buzzing is the revelation that Kamala is a mutant.

As a newcomer to the X-Men series, one may not immediately recognize the iconic theme when it plays in Ms. Marvel. Catching up on the animated series and diving into the live-action films, however, will reveal the intricate connections between Kamala’s story and the larger Marvel Universe.

The Role Of Bangles: Enhancers Or Power Sources?

The bangles that Kamala wears have become a topic of debate, with some speculating that they may be a part of the overarching Kang dynasty storyline. However, it seems unlikely that the bangles are the actual source of Kamala’s powers. Instead, the theory suggests that mutants must be “officially” introduced for Kamala’s powers to be derived from her inherent abilities, with the bangles potentially acting as enhancers.

Although Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, is a mutant in the comics, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has yet to delve into mutants beyond Kamala’s revelation. This omission is primarily due to the rights issue that previously prevented Marvel from incorporating mutants into their movies. However, with the rights now secured, it is only a matter of time before mutants take center stage in the MCU.
