A Bright Future Awaits Kamala Khan, Who Is Being Hailed as the “Peter Parker of This Generation”

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast who has followed the Marvel Universe for decades, I find myself deeply intrigued by the journey of Kamala Khan. Her evolution from a passionate fan to a powerful superhero mirrors my own personal growth within the gaming and geek communities.


Kamala Khan’s storyline in both comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has gone through some rough patches lately. She encountered death and rebirth, and more recently was recast as a mutant. This transformation has sparked controversy among comic readers who believe it represents an unwanted intrusion of MCU ideas into the original source material.

With an upcoming new X-Men series, Kamala Khan is set to shine in the spotlight. A new mutant-centric series called ‘NYX‘ has been introduced, penned by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly, featuring artwork from Francesco Mortarino.

After the disappearance of Xavier’s school and Krakoa, mutants are gearing up to make their presence known in New York City, regardless of whether the city is ready for them. The latest ongoing comic book series titled ‘NYX‘ follows a group of former X-Men students as they navigate young adulthood, encounter discrimination, and deal with rising threats that aim to intensify the conflict between humans and mutants.

In the spirit of the groundbreaking series from the 2000s, ‘NYX’ delves into the challenging circumstances faced by mutants who are no longer under the guidance of the X-Men or protected by Krakoa. This series focuses on well-known and beloved mutant characters as they navigate a world marked by prejudice and suspicion, striving to advance even as they grapple with internal disputes and their struggle to move beyond Krakoa’s influence.

2021’s San Diego Comic-Con saw Lanzing characterize Kamala Khan as the contemporary equivalent of Peter Parker, an idea that truly captivates us.

Kamala Khan’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe appears bright, with plans for her to feature in various upcoming productions such as ‘Marvel Zombies’ and, not forgetting, ‘The Young Avengers,’ which she spearheaded on the big screen.

1) The introduction of mutants in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) reinforces Lanzing’s argument. Since Ms. Marvel is one of the initial confirmed mutants within the MCU, she stands ready to assume an important role among the characters as their number grows in the future.
