The speed of change has surprised even the writers. Wilson, who is a Muslim convert, remembers when Marvel editors Sana Amanat and Stephen Wacker approached her to write Ms Marvel. \u201c[They said: \u2018We want to create a new teenage female American Muslim superhero and put her on her own book.\u2019] I thought, \u2018You\u2019re insane.

Kelly Sue DeConnick invoked another household object when she told Comics Alliance in 2012: \u201cNever mind the Bechdel test, try this.

The new Ms Marvel, however, is an ordinary adolescent wrestling with parents and school as well as the responsibility of superpowers. Fifty-three years after Stan Lee created Spider-Man, it\u2019s hard for a straight, white man like Peter Parker to represent the gawky underdog. Like the half-black half-Latino Miles Morales, who became a second Spider-Man in 2011, Kamala Khan is a modern take on a classic archetype.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
