Why Ms. Marvel's Power Change Makes Sense For MCU Phase 4

Among the many projects from the Ms. Marvel, introducing Kamala Khan, who has a very specific set of superpowers, but these have been changed for the MCU – and they make more sense this way for Phase 4. Now that the MCU’s Infinity Saga is over, this universe can continue its expansion with new stories, concepts, and characters, and what makes Phase 4 more exciting is that it will not only cover movies but also TV shows, which will be an active part in this universe.

Expanding to TV/streaming has allowed the MCU to explore more complex stories that ultimately complement the movie side of this universe, and through TV shows, the MCU is also introducing a bunch of new characters that will be very important to the future of this connected universe. Among those new heroes is The Marvels. Kamala Khan is a 16-year-old Muslim Pakistani-American who is a big fan of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) and gains shape-shifting powers, which lead her to take on the mantle of Ms. Marvel.

In the comics, MCU’s Phase 4 a lot better.

As seen in Monica Rambeau (Teyona Parris) – whose powers are also based on energy.

These modifications, while big, won’t change the importance and impact of Kamala Khan, and will actually help her stand out when the Fantastic Four make their arrival and when she s forces with Captain Marvel and Rambeau. This isn’t the first time the MCU makes adjustments to its characters, their powers, and backstories to better fit its narrative and grounded style, and there are many details about Ms. Marvel that remain secret, so there’s a lot to learn about this adaptation and how these changes will fit with the rest of the MCU.
