Meet Kamala Khan. She's sixteen-years-old. Into Avengers fan fiction. Good at school. Bad at fitting in. So when a strange mist descends and morphs Kamala into a shape-shifting superhuman... fitting in is the least of her problems.
"Meta Morphosis"[]
Having just been exposed to the Terrigen Mist, Kamala Khan finds herself resembling her hero, Captain Marvel. In the midst of panicking, she discovers that she has shape-shifting powers. The development of these powers could not have come at a better time. While returning home from a party, the highly intoxicated Zoe Zimmer and her boyfriend Josh are stumbling back home when Zoe falls into the Hudson River. Kamala uses her powers to "embiggen" her hand into a giant scoop, and fishes Zoe out of the water. Kamala then races home, and tries to sneak into her bedroom, but it is too late. Her parents are already aware that she snuck out without permission. Her pious brother Aamir promises that he will say a prayer for her, but her odds are not looking good right now.
