It’s a breath of fresh air to know that Kamala Khan co-creator Sana Amana served as a series’ executive producer for Ms. Marvel on Disney+, getting to direct Iman Vellani’s steps towards superhero stardom.
While not every Marvel fan is on board with the brand new streaming series, the show just introduced a landmark change for the Marvel collection, explaining Kamala Khan’s origins: she’s a mutant.

While Marvel Studios didn’t exactly drop the “mutant” word, Bruno (Matt Lintz) shares with Kamala Khan at the season finale that she has a “mutation” of genes that causes her to harness such powers. On top of that, the X-Men ’97 theme begins to play as Kamala is told she’s a mutant.
Fans were immediately split on the matter, given the fact that Ms. Marvel is revealed to be an Inhuman in the Marvel Comics. But now, Kamala Khan co-creator Sana Amana comes to the rescue to explain why she’s all for this character change:
#MsMarvel creator Sana Amanat says the character was supposed to be a mutant. “Here’s a really important thing that people do not know – when we were thinking about the character back in the day… we originally wanted to make her a mutant,” she said.

Amana’s full quote from Empire Magazine reads:
“We’ve been talking about it for some time. Here’s a really important thing that people do not know – when we were thinking about the character of Kamala back, back, back in the day in 2012, 2013, when [G.] Willow [Wilson, comic book writer] and myself were ideating, we originally wanted to make her a mutant. That was the whole intention, to be able to do that.”
Is she a mutant, question mark? I don’t know. I don’t know, guys! All I know is that we use the word ‘mutation’, and that’s all I can say. I will say, I think this is opening up doors for a lot of great storytelling, obviously, as a huge fan, um… of the word ‘mutation.’ I’m really happy about it.”
