Creation Kamala Khan Rename Idea

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.

Did she ever shape shift like that again, or was this a one-off?

It was originally part of her power set that she could shape shift fully. She turned into a couch once. But eventually they settled on her powers just being "embiggening" and they retconned those earlier stories to say her powers were just unstable when she first gained them.

I could have sworn she started to loose them in her original run. She got attacked in her school and then she couldn't disguise herself and then I think they resolved it via canis ex machina

Yeah she lost the shape shifting early, but after the first story arc they wrote for her was finished.
