Avenger

Whilst at school, she received a social media message stating that an imposter dressed as Captain Marvel was involved in a crime in the city. This led to Kamala arriving at the scene as Ms. Marvel where she confronted Doctor Minerva who had captured a Terrigenesis cocoon in order to conduct genetic experiments in creating Kree super-soldiers. This led to Kamala's first team-up with Spider-Man where initially she had questions to ask him about his relationship with Carol Danvers but later focused on defeating the Kree supervillain scientist. (Amazing Spider-Man v3 #7)

Champion

She then suggested to her team mates that they form their own superhero team consisting of young heroes wanting to make a difference in the world. This led to them forming the Champions where they recruited Amadeus Cho after he became the Hulk and Viv Vision whilst inviting others to join their ranks. (Champions v2 #1)

Magnificent Ms. Marvel

Overview

Personality and attributes

At her home in New Jersey in Ms. Marvel v3 #2.

In appearance, Kamala Khan was a young dark haired 16 year old Pakistani girl. (Ms. Marvel v3 #1) Her parents named her Kamala which meant 'Perfection' in Arabic. (Ms. Marvel v3 #5) She later decided to take the name of Ms. Marvel when she began to operate as a crime fighting hero. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4)

Kamala was said to be a responsible girl and thus it was unusual to see her getting into trouble. (Ms. Marvel v3 #3)

From a young age, she said that she played video games and roleplaying games. Among the games she played was World of Battlecraft that involved fighting boss level characters. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4)

She was known to be an avid fan of superheroes and often wrote fanfiction about them which she posted on the internet. (Ms. Marvel v3 #1)

Her parents had taught her to always think about the greater good and to defend people that could not defend themselves even if meant putting herself at risk. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4) She had said that she did not like punching animals. (Ms. Marvel v3 #6)

After saving Zoe Zimmer's life with her powers, she came to realise that she could achieve her dream of becoming a superhero. (Ms. Marvel v3 #2)

Her father was said to had brought the family to the United States and to settle in New Jersey. (Ms. Marvel v3 #2) Kamala's family were said to be overprotective of her which was why she hid her activities as a superhero from them. (Ms. Marvel v3 #7)

She used to get regular sermons from Sheikh Abdullah from her local mosque and came to believe the man hated her. Kamala was then surprised that during a meeting with him that he advised her to seek a mentor if she was helping people. He said that he had given many sermons in his life so the only thing he could tell her was to do things the right way rather than try to be strict with her. (Ms. Marvel v3 #6)

Another of her close friends was Bruno Carrelli with the two spending time together. (Ms. Marvel v3 #1) He had always protected her from bad things ever since they were kids. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4)

She was initially impressed with her classmate Zoe Zimmer and thought that she was nice. This led to her disobeying her parents and her religion in an attempt to gain acceptance by her. However, Zoe simply used that as an opportunity to mock her further which upset Kamala. (Ms. Marvel v3 #1)

Kamala was a big fan of Carol Danvers and looked up to her all her life with Khan believing that she was the bravest person who had ever lived. (Ms. Marvel v3 #7)

Powers and abilities

This meant that she was able to take the appearance of anyone with this partly dictated by her mental state. By increasing her mass, she was able to increase the force she was able to apply to superhuman levels. She could also shrink her size or even grow to incredible heights. (Ms. Marvel v3 #3) Kamala could increase the length of her legs allowing her to make great strides in a short span of time. (Ms. Marvel v3 #5) Khan was also shown to be able to take the form of inanimate objects such as a sofa but was unable to hide her heat signature. (Ms. Marvel v3 #6)

It was theorised that she accomplished these changes in shape by borrowing mass from herself at various points in her timeline. Thus, every time she grow or shrunk in size she actually traded her mass with her past and future selves. This effectively meant that her molecules travelled through time though she herself did not trade places in the timestream with herself. (Ms. Marvel v4 #35)

She was shown to possess a kind of healing factor that allowed her to recover from a bullet wound after she changed to her normal appearance. It was shown that she could not shapeshift if her body was healing her injuries. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4) It was possible to put too much strain on her powers where she could not shapeshift, heal and attack at the same time. Her powers could put a lot of strain on her body's system and she required nourishment to make up for the lost energy which sometimes left her very hungry. (Ms. Marvel v3 #5)

Kamala initially fashioned a costume from clothes from her home that included her burkini with her adding a pouch to it along with adding colours. (Ms. Marvel v3 #4) She, however, had difficulties in changing into her clothes and using her powers with them with her requesting to use Bruno Carreli's 'super-snot' treatment on them. (Ms. Marvel v3 #5) This saw her costume being treated with biokinetic polymer that was invented by Bruno Carrelli which was made for his scholarship application to Rutgers. When applied to cloth, it made an item capable of stretching to great levels. (Ms. Marvel v3 #3) It was said that the 'super-snots' capabilities were effected if it got wet. (Ms. Marvel v3 #5)

From the planet Saffa, she came to acquire an advanced nanosuit of Kree design. It was designed to bond to those with Kree blood with this including Inhumans. (Magnificent Ms. Marvel v1 #5) The Stormranger suit was capable of infusing her with power and made her immune to certain attacks. However, the artificial intelligence within the costume acted on its own directives and could trigger a separation protocol if it felt impeded by the wearer. (Magnificent Ms. Marvel v1 #10)
