ISLAMABAD: In 2013, Marvel Comics introduced a new hero among their ranks — Kamala Khan, a teenage Pakistani Muslim who, inspired by Captain Marvel and Carol Danvers, became Ms. Marvel.
Khan, though not the first Muslim or Pakistani hero in Marvel’s vast worlds — Faiza Hussain, who was introduced in 2008, takes that spot — was certainly one with impact, being introduced into the ever-growing Marvel world at a time when Islamophobia and anti-Pakistani sentiment was growing.
It was in 2014 when Khan’s popularity led to her getting her own comic series.
