Ms. Marvel joins the X-Men in Marvel fans' first look at Marvel Comics' Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant #1. During the Hellfire Gala, the mutants of Krakoa resurrected Kamala Khan after her heroic death in The Amazing Spider-Man #26, and the mourning period chronicled in Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel. With mutants brought low by Orchis instigating the Fall of X in the Marvel Universe, Ms. Marvel is teaming up with the few X-Men remaining on Earth and going undercover on behalf of mutants, who now count Ms. Marvel among their number. This is the latest Marvel superhero team that Ms. Marvel has joined. The hero, now known to be both an Inhuman and a mutant, formerly served on the Avengers and helped found the modern incarnation of the Champions alongside young, time-displaced Cyclops.
Marvel Cinematic Universe star Iman Vellani, the actress who played the young superhero in Disney+'s Ms. Marvel series and reprised the role in Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel sequel The Marvels, writes the Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant comic book, Ms. Marvel's first series since discovering her mutant origin, with Sabir Pirzada. The series features artwork by Carlos Gómez and Adam Gorham.
What is Ms. Marvel: The First Mutant about?
