Description[]
A power bangle is an ancient alien artifact, of which there are two. When combined, the two power bangles work in unison and are otherwise referred to as quantum bands. The bangle harnesses power that can manipulate the energies of the spacetime continuum for purposes of creating spatial jump points, which is to the benefit of interstellar travel.
History[]
Ages ago, the Kree Empire utilized the quantum bands to establish permanently stable artificial wormholes. This network of jump points proved to be of tremendous benefit for purposes of space travel and aided the Kree in expanding their scope of influence on a galactic level.
One of the power bangles was discovered on Earth in the 1940s and was attached to the arm of a dead Kree soldier. A woman named Aisha, who was a member of a group called the Clandestines sought the bangle in the hopes of using it to return to their native home, the Noor Dimension. Aisha discovered the bangle and kept it in safe hiding. She eventually entrusted the bangle to her daughter, Sana Ali. As years passed, the bangle eventually came into the possession of Sana's daughter, Muneeba Khan. Muneeba's teenage daughter, Kamala Khan, discovered the power bangle and, unaware of its origin, used it as a piece of costume jewelry for her Captain Marvel costume, which she wore at the AvengerCon event in New Jersey. The power of the bangle, coupled with Kama's innate mutant abilities, enabled her to become a costumed hero in her own right, Ms. Marvel.
