Ms. Marvel has been in many close scrapes throughout her time as a superhero, but she always manages to get by with a little help from her friends. Kamala Khan has proven herself powerful enough on her own many times, but her bonds with her allies show where her character truly shines.
After becoming Ms. Marvel, Kamala needed to make strong alliances to ensure her success. Her journey involved both her childhood friends and heroes, transforming her life into an adventure beyond anything from her fan fiction stories. With her allies' support, Kamala Khan has been able to overcome adversity.
10 Captain Marvel Is Ms. Marvel's Role Model
Before she became Captain Marvel's namesake, Kamala Khan was a super-fan of Carol Danvers. Kamala was even known to write fan fiction stories about her favorite heroes, Carol included. After she inherited Danvers' former Ms. Marvel title, Kamala had the opportunity to team up with her hero to save her brother Aamir from her friend-turned-enemy, Kamran.
Carol acted as a mentor figure for Kamala, encouraging her and partnering with her from time to time. Captain Marvel's influence on Kamala is one of the most important aspects of the new Ms. Marvel character, as Carol gives her a heroic model to emulate.
9 Bruno Is a Friend 'Til The End
Bruno Carrelli is one of Kamala Khan's best friends. The pair share a very close bond, with Bruno acting as a protective companion to Kamala. Bruno is a genius scientist with a 170 IQ, and even though he doesn't have any powers, his smarts often come in handy. Bruno even shares Kamala's secret, as he knows the truth about her identity as Ms. Marvel.
Bruno often becomes entangled in Kamala's adventures and always does his best to help her where he can. As time goes on, Bruno and Kamala began to share feelings for one another, but things aren't as easy for them as they could be, especially considering Kamala's primary focus on being the best Ms. Marvel she can be.
8 Iron Man Is A Solid Mentor For Ms. Marvel
One of Ms. Marvel's greatest achievements as a superhero was getting the opportunity to join Earth's Mightiest Heroes as an Avenger. Naturally, Kamala had the chance to meet Tony Stark, who soon took on a mentoring role in her life. Iron Man even argued with Captain Marvel over Kamala, demonstrating just how much he cared for her as a member of the team.
Like Captain Marvel, Iron Man is another role model for Kamala Khan to learn from. Given Tony Stark's current absence from the MCU, it's unfortunate that fans won't be able to see this relationship develop on the big screen.
7 Miles Morales Is A Worthy Rival For Kamala Khan
During their time with the Avengers, Kamala Khan and Miles Morales were among the youngest members of the team. This fact, coupled with their identities as protectors of the local community, revealed how the pair had a lot in common.
Miles and Kamala share a natural rivalry after meeting as civilians at physics camp. The two frequently play pranks on one another and share quips, making for a truly compelling friendship. Over the course of the comics, there have been multiple hints Miles might harbor feelings for Kamala, but their friendship and teamwork are always at the forefront of their story.
6 Lockjaw Is A Loyal Protector
After Kamala received her powers from the Terrigen Mists, she needed someone to look after her as she developed her skills. At Wolverine's request, Medusa – Queen of the Inhuman Royal Family – sent Lockjaw to be Ms. Marvel's protector.
As the Royal Family's pet, Lockjaw gained his massive size, the ability to teleport, and several other powers from the same Terrigen Mists that transformed Kamala into Ms. Marvel. Lockjaw accompanied Kamala on her adventures and even teamed up with her to fight the Inventor: an avian clone of Thomas Edison.
5 Nova Is Another Teenage Avenger
Much like Miles Morales, Nova is another member of the Avengers lineup who is close to Kamala in age. Even though they initially started on the wrong foot with some seriously awkward interactions, Nova and Ms. Marvel soon formed a genuine friendship.
Nova, Kamala, and Miles bonded due to their shared similarities and formed a powerful trio, often teaming up in their heroic efforts. Circumstances later led Nova, Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel to leave the Avengers entirely to form a new team called The Champions.
4 Viv Is A Powerful Champion
One of the first recruits after the formation of the Champions was Vivian: the synthezoid daughter of Vision. Like her father, Viv is an exceptionally powerful character with super-strength, the ability to fly, and complete control over her body's density.
Viv and Kamala fought side by side as members of the Champions until tragedy struck during the Outlawed storyline. After being hit during a battle, Viv went haywire and exploded, destroying Kamala's school and injuring many of those inside – Ms. Marvel included. These events led to the passing of the Underage Superhuman Welfare Act, also known as "Kamala's Law," which outlawed superheroes under the age of 21.
3 Cyclops And Ms. Marvel Are A Legendary Team-Up
Kamala Khan has teamed up with members of the X-Men in the past, but when it came time to form her own team, the young version of Scott Summers was among the first to join. Young Cyclops was inspired by Kamala's vision for the Champions and became a valuable member of the team.
Cyclops accompanied the Champions on their adventures and developed a true friendship with Kamala. Ultimately, Scott left the Champions and asked Kamala to break the news to the others because he couldn't bring himself to. Before leaving, Scott made sure he told Ms. Marvel that her convictions and everything the Champions stood for was important.
2 Wolverine Was An Early Ally
Not too long after Kamala transformed into Ms. Marvel, she became entangled in a conflict with The Inventor, who was a bird-like clone of Thomas Edison. After meeting Wolverine in the sewers of Jersey City, the two heroes teamed up to fight genetically modified alligators sent by The Inventor.
After the fight was over, Wolverine promised to keep an eye on Kamala. He placed a call to Steve Rogers to tell him about the newly discovered Inhuman, and Steve, in turn, shared the story with Medusa. This led to Medusa sending Lockjaw to protect Ms. Marvel.
1 Amadeus Cho Brings The Brawn
Another one of Ms. Marvel's early recruits to the Champions was Amadeus Cho. After absorbing Bruce Banner's powers, Amadeus became the new Hulk. Dubbed "The Eighth-Smartest Guy On Earth" by Miles Morales, Amadeus quickly proved he was a valuable ally to Kamala Khan.
When Amadeus' new moniker was first revealed, it was actually Kamala who made it happen. After asking him, "What are you going to call yourself?", Amadeus simply replied, "Brawn." Amadeus became a strong addition to the Champions' lineup, supporting Ms. Marvel and the others with both his strength and intelligence alike.
