The changes to Kamala's powers from the comics was also highlighted, [134] [132] [129] [135] albeit with a mixed reception. While the new origin's more personal connection was praised, [136] [130] [137] the powers themselves drew criticism: Sepinwall called these abilities "more generic" than the comics powers; [129] Charles Pulliam-Moore at The Verge wrote that the live-action abilities "are only able to approximate the flashy aspects of what was originally a nuanced metaphor in the comics. [...] But the show doesn't go nearly as far with its hero in terms of using its conceit to explore ideas like internalized racism or the pressures Western (read: white) beauty standards put on people of color"; [135] and Porter pointed out that G. Willow Wilson—one of the character's creators—had previously described that during the development of Kamala's powers, it was chosen not to give her "sparkly, hand wave-y, floaty, pretty powers", which Porter felt was "one of the most important things about her in the comics, and losing that in favor of powers that are, in fact, sparkly, hand wave-y, floaty, and pretty is really unfortunate".

While some have lamented Kamala’s changed powerset, the trailer does show her using her classic “embiggening” skills a couple of time to make a giant fist to punch a few bad guys. In the comics, Kamala’s powers include the ability to fully transform her entire self to becoming larger or smaller. She can become bigger than a building and as small as Ant-Man, if necessary, though it does take a lot out of her, leaving her seriously depleted for the remaining fight. It will be interesting to see whether that energy depletion remains an aspect of her character or if it falls by the wayside. In broadening the world of the series and the kinds of foes Carol faces, he also introduced a pair of villains who would go on to significantly larger things. The first was Deathbird, introduced in issue #9 as a vaguely alien avian-themed henchperson of MODOK. She would, of course, get looped into the wider world of the X-Men when Claremont later revealed her to be one of the alien Shi’ar, specifically the sister of their empress Lilandra, who also happens to be Professor Xavier’s girlfriend. In issue #16, Claremont began to tease a subplot involving the machinations of a villain named Mystique. In issue #18, she makes her first full appearance, revealing her shapeshifting abilities. Claremont’s intended goals for the character and her plotline in Ms. Marvel would be ultimately cut short, but the character would nevertheless go on to have a profound impact on Carol Danvers before settling in as one of the X-Men’s signature villains (and their occasional ally) as the leader of a new Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and the government-sponsored Freedom Force.

Kamala’s powers on the whole seem to be more tangible for the MCU, with her shooting some kind of energy to close a door, creating a protection shield, and essentially creating steps to run through the air. Having projectiles calls to mind Spider-Man, another teenage fan of heroes, and it’s a good way for her to have a non-lethal means of fighting. Nordyke, Kimberly (March 4, 2023).

Marvel Studios Ms. Marvel builds up to revealing the titular hero’s costume throughout the series, saving it for the final episode. Early on, Kamala Khan saves a boy while at Eid, so she ends up wearing parts of her makeshift training costume over what she was already wearing.
