Does she leave home without a brother or male member of her family?

Does she get beaten when she comes back home?

Is it hard to fly wearing a burka?

She panders to social justice warriors and beheads her foes with a single blow! She’s Ms. Muslim!

(there can only be one Ms. Marvel to this comic reader and it isn’t someone named Khan)

MS. MARVEL CAN’T READ BECAUSE MEN DID NOT GIVE HER PERMISSION TO HAVE AN EDUCATION. NOR WAS SHE GIVEN A RAZOR TO SHAVE HER UNDERARMS OR LEGS FOR FEAR SHE WOULD USE IT AGAINT A ,NON-JEWISH MAN.

Let’s all remember this version of the Ms Marvel character and concept were pushed forward under Disney ownership, so it’s “Marvel” in name only. This is Disney pursuing an agenda whether anyone likes it or not, regardless of whether it even sells or not. Because Frozen made a ton of money, Disney can lose whatever money they want on this steaming crap via “Marvel”.

In the second comic book, Ms. Marvel becomes a Suicide Bomber For Justice! And that’s it. Only two comic books.

Why doesn’t Marvel have her dressed in a full burqa?

If Ms. Marvel dressed like that in Pakistan, she would be immediately beheaded.

I would sure like to see the sales numbers of this so-called popular comic.
