  1. Awesome. Though I hope she being a Pakistani-American Muslim is incidental to her being a superhero.

      Ms. Marvel, unlike the Burka Avenger or the 99, should aspire to a wider non-Muslim audience. The objectives of the creators would be better served by projecting that the identity of an immigrant Muslim isn't inconsequential- it has its place- but it isn't the central feature of a superhero either.
