The following contains spoilers for Ms. Marvel Season 1, Episode 6, "No Normal," now streaming on Disney+.

If there's one thing that wasn't expected to come out of the Ms. Marvel series, it was formally transitioning the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One way the Disney+ series accomplished this was by giving them their first enemy to deal with, and they certainly won't be one to easily defeat.

Since Disney bought Fox back in 2019, the biggest concern is how the MCU would incorporate the X-Men into the superhero universe. Fox pretty much gave the creators of the X-Men films free rein to do whatever they wanted -- which included a plentiful amount of F-words, mature storylines or repetitive Dark Phoenix storylines that never hit the mark. Needless to say, the X-Men and Avengers universes don't mesh. The MCU has a brand they have to uphold, and it's going to take time to figure out how the X-Men fit into that brand. That time may be soon approaching -- Professor X made his official MCU debut in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the X-Men already have a larger narrative in the MCU.

The biggest revelation to come out of the Ms. Marvel finale is that, once again, no one has any idea what Kamala's powers are. Bruno now suspects that her powers come from a mutated gene. Note the not-so-subtle X-Men riff that played during this scene -- there's no other explanation but to say Kamala is a mutant. It's a disgrace to her Inhuman origins, which at this point seems like Kevin Feige is on a personal vengeance quest to spit on the Inhumans every chance he gets. But besides the change in power source again, Kamala being a mutant means Ms. Marvel is now an X-Men set-up. And the cherry on top is that she fought their first villain.

The villain in question is the Department of Damage Control, or more specifically Agent Sadie Deever, who was really toeing the politically correct line in the finale. One particular line in the Ms. Marvel finale suggests that she'll be conducting the X-Men hate train in the future: "This is what happens when the wrong people get powers." Even her partner is put off by her comment, assuming she means Muslims, and she emphasizes she meant "wrong people" as in kids.

Whatever she truly meant, it weaves in a larger X-Men-style plot that follows the idea that the government isn't particularly fond of mutants. As seen in comics and the X-Men films, mutants have the X-gene, which is triggered around puberty. Mutants are encouraged to attend Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, where they learn to control their powers and are surrounded by people of their own kind. The latter reason helps mutants feel comfortable with their status, as the government has a reputation of being discriminatory towards mutants.

Agent Deever's attitude towards Kamala Khan and Kamran is a similar attitude that sets up almost every X-Men conflict with the government. To humans, mutants are positioned as antagonists because of something beyond their control. And even if mutants are by far stronger and more powerful than Damage Control, the department has the power of persuasion. They could easily scare the public into thinking mutants are to be feared, which already sounds like an enemy Magneto would have no issue facing.

To see if Damage Control will ever face the X-Men, stream the Ms. Marvel finale on Disney+.
