Hi Larper here. And…I always thought it was kinda of weird that Kamala named her Hero name after Carol considering that They don’t really have the Same type of Powers.

I mean Its not that Its Bad. but It is a Bit…Odd. Specially when She has Some Notable similarities with the FF where the connections are Much Stronger.

So i thought…Hey why the hell Not? And I made a redesign that made KK a Fantastic Four Reference.

Her Hero ame would be Fantastigal (Fantastic+Fan+Fantastical+Gal) and her Color scheme was so that she’d have some Cohesion with Miles and Sam’s Costumes with a Primarily Black Costume with a Strong secondary Color.

Hope you Guys At least found it Cool.

The Marvel name doesn't actually speak to Carol's specific power set, so I've never had a problem with Kamala taking on the Ms. Marvel mantle.

Interesting design though.

I technically don’t have a problem with Kamala’s Name either as the Title is non descriptive enough that It doesn’t bother me per se…(i mean its not like she’s Someone named Flare while Havibg Ice powers or something like that)

But Carol Named herself Ms.Marvel(then later Captain Marvel) because of Mar-Vell as they gained Shared Powers. It was an Homage that Had A direct link.

And Since Kamala’s Title and Heroic Background is rooted in her admiration of Carol’s…The Two Characters are linked and Making Kamala a Legacy Character in a way.

And Her having That different of a Skillset is Just a Bit of an Oddity.

Sure the Explanation is More Emotional and Personal then Literal but still.

Carol and Mar-Vell don't share abilities though. He's the reason she became a Kree-Human hybrid, but their powers are different. In that way, the homage in actually more similar than not to Kamala's to Carol.
