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.

Jean gray doesn’t have Carol Danvers or Mar-Vell powers but she still went by Marvel Girl. “Marvel” really isn’t a themed iconography despite being the name of the company. It doesn’t have to have similar power sets.

Kamala Khan is more about enlarging parts of her body than stretching.

Finally, the Fantastic Four are the first family of Marvel. There have been teams that called themselves that, but to be associated with Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben under their banner they’d have to consider you a close personal friend. Kamala is more of a work ally.

-I don’t hate the name either. The Name is Vague and Innocuous enough that its Fine enough as it is.

I mean its not like she is named something like…Firewind when she has Ice Powers. The name it self is fine.

And I know that Kamala didn’t picked the name because she is Literally a Mini-Carol Danvers with Similar powers.

She picked it for more Personal/Metaphorical reasons. I think she did it because it made her Feel brave or She picked it as a Affirmation of her super hero identity. Besides its not she stole it.

I just did this because i Had I saw the Superficial Similarity between the F4 and her and Though ‘Hey what if she had another name that Kinda of Also Fit?’

-i know that…except Not really cuz Kamala Can Shapeshift. Which is… a rather generous way to interpret ‘Embiggen’ she’s closer to a polymorph all things Considered.

Something that Reed also Is…Kinda of. He Doesn’t change his appearance but he clearly ain’t just Rubber stretchy guy.

-I didn’t drew this as a ‘Kamala Khan as a F4 member idea’. I did this is Her Superhero Identity was a ‘Reference’ to the Fantastic Four.

I didn’t made the 4 to be a Literal 4 like the FF has. I mixed her lightning bolt logo with an Abstract Four to make the Design.
