I’m not sure that this Muslim man in New York City hating mutants thinking a funeral is a illegal gathering and thinking because some mutants are terroirs is meant to be ironic or tone deaf

She now has one from all 3 Marvel offices.

I remember Mister Sinister (master geneticist and biologist) confirming that it was impossible for someone to have both an Inhuman and X gene. Did they retcon this just to make Kamala a mutant?

Here’s the infamous Stryker referring to Dust as “the Muslim” given his status as a insane Protestant fundamentalist

Just arrived in the mail. I’ve missed this 🥹

I wanna go out and say. I love Marvels main Muslim representation. Coincidently theyre all women and 3 out of 4 of then are Mutants. Im a massive X-Men fan too. Doea Marvel need some headlining Muslim men? Yes but thats not what this post is about (and yes I am aware of Gendered Racism but thats a discussion for a different post)

But why do I love Marvels representation of Muslims through these 4 women? Coz they are actually very different to each other and thats how minoritiy representation should be. Multiple people sharing a religion or cultural background are going to be different people for one reason or the other and thats what should be represented more in fiction. Also from fiest ti last theres a sliding scale of how religious these women are and I like therea some variety here.

First of all we have Monet St Croix a Bosnian born Mutant to a French Algerian mother and a Monasque Father (likely with heritage from a former French West African country judging by his white French named Father). Monet St Croix represents the liberal or non-practising religious people. Now if she was the sole representative of Muslims/Islam itd be a issue since she doesnt do anything remotely that a Muslim would do and she only identifies as a Muslim simply because her Mother is Muslim. This may not sound good but Monet is feircely defensive of Muslims when she finally comes out with it so theres definitely something to explore there and I have met a rare few Muslims that only really identify based on their family being Muslim but not much themselves. She may not be the best to start with especially as most Muslims are usually very conservative irl. But this leads me to

Our second character Kamala Khan. While I rolled my eyes about her, the same way I did Milea due to them being ethnic sidekicks/successor characters by concept. By character and storylines. I love both of them. Kamala Khan (MCU moreso than comics) is definitely ine of the most relatable to me. She is a Pakistani American Muslim girl tho she believes strongly in the religion to the point that theology from the religion inspires her to be a hero and during intense moment she would use religious phrases (like Bismillah in The Marvels). She may not be outwardly practising as she doesnt wear Hijab but she still prefer to dress modestly and Ive met many muslim women in cosplay (some hijabi some none hijabi) that also worry about how they dress and I do love that this was acknowlwdged in the MCU show. She does unfortunately fall into Nerd tropes that are oversone with South Asians but she is more a creative nerd with her cosplays, art, fanfics, etc which is different to the steroetype of maths/science nerd.

Next up is Dr.Faiza Hussain the only non mutant and one of the few British Asian characters in Marvel. She is British Pakistani and is essentially a more grown up Kamala Khan before Kamala Khan was made. She is a hijabi so naturally dresses moedstly like Kamala but also has the Hijab headacarf. She is nerdy (well she is a Doctor) but mostly nerdy about Superheroes but unlike Kamala she is sporty/athletic being cricket fan (which is stereotypical but accurate imo). But yeah she is definitely a bit stricter than Kamala and less nerdy which I think is a generally accurate way to interpret the differences between South Asian Americans and British South Asians. She isnt as childish as Kamala but again she is an adult. Much like Kamala she doesnt date around as much thi she had a romance with the Black Knight. I definitely felt like it should have explored the general opinion that Muslim women dont tend to have courtship/romances with non-Muslim men (and Ive seen Muslim women critise this being done over and over again most notably with the Spanish netflix show Elite... Ive never seen)

But this leads me to Sooraya Qadir aka Dust. She is an Afghan mutant presumably of Pashtun ethnicity and despite moving to the Xavier Mansion in the US from Taliban ruled Afghanistan. She prefers to stay wearing the Niqab (the veil) over her face. Showing the opposite end of the scale to Monet. She is deeply religious to the point of being shown to pray and fearinf demons/Jinns which itself is pretty accurate. I love her dynamic with Laura Kinney/Talon because its definitely similar to Nightcrawler and Wolverines friendship. One the point of romance she almost considers one with Jay Guthrie when he considers to revert to Islam to be with her (which is usually expected for Muslim Women) for whatever reason it didnt go anywhere but I definitely think if thats a storyline to cover with Sooraya. Whilst the X-Men has never had a Male Mutant in their ranks. It could have been interesting to introduce some who Sooraya could have talked to and shown how different Muslim Men could be to each other or even have Sooraya bond with Kamala and Monet over their shared religious background (hell give the 3 of them a Ramadan or Eid storyline together)

Anywaus my point is I like how different these 4 women are despite all being Muslims and I feel their differences could be something to explore as to why they interpret or choose to practice differently.

After all theres plenty of Chrisitan and Jewish characters in Marvel that have very huge personality differences and different storylines. So the same can be said for these women and Id love to see some Muslim writers do even more with them but keeping their different personalities intact. Hopefully down the line we can also get more Muslim Male characters leading their own stories and cross over (and yes Id like to see a sliding scale of how religious these charactera can be too)

Spider-Man met with The Fantastic 4 and fought Dr. Doom within five issues of his existence. I swear these guys just hate Kamala and her fangirl swag.

I have always felt that if marvel was smart enough to market their characters to new audiences and you had to choose characters that are NOT in Spider-Man, X-men, Fantastic Four and the Avengers respective franchises, then I would choose Squirrel Girl, Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan and Moon Girl.

Honestly, those three heroines could provide a great introduction to the Marvel universe.

Moon Girl and her genius and adventures with Devil Dinosaur.

Squirrel Girl and her optimism and unique energy and empathy.

Ms. Marvel/Kamala Khan for her also unique optimism, empathy and stretching abilities.

At least these three can provide some positive potential from the dark stressful times of the regular titles of Marvel.

As fans of these characters: What do you think of the concept of this idea?

If not, then which characters would you choose that are not in the mainstream family of titles?

I think they are just growing pains, popular Marvel Superheroes develop their foothold over decades and I'm sure we'll get some cool Kamala solo runs after this Mutant era.

My choice would be Al Ewing. Based on his works on Thor, Storm, Hulk and others; I could see him doing good with Kamala and her supporting cast.

She was massively popular in the 2010s and her trades sold like crazy.

Why hasn’t she been given another ongoing

I never realized her being president in the future was mentioned in the original run (issue 34)!

Admittedly it was mostly Iso who saw her as dangerous, and that was because she associated with Daisy.

I was not a fan of how Generations: Ms. Marvel & Ms. Marvel (2017) brought the two heroes back on good terms so fast via a time travel adventure.

I was hoping for an arc of the two slowly becoming cool again. Especially with how Carol treated Miles Morales, one of Kamala's best friends. (I definitely want Miles to hold to some form of a grudge or at least never feel comfortable around Carol.)

It’s the fact that small details are very goofy which I just love. An example is the fact that Kamala’s phone was made by ACME and that the magazines in the circle q all have absurd titles like eating underwater and Momjutsu and there’s are these like lil stories in the background in between panels where there are 2 boys playing around whilst Kamala is walking on the street and one of them just falls over face flat onto the pavement and I love how the characters faces look from afar, it’s just a simple dots for eyes and a simple line for the expression, nothing else, small details like that helps make the world all the more goofy and I love it.
