In a thrilling preview of the “X-Men: Hellfire Gala,” Ms. Marvel returns triumphantly as a mutant, joining Charles Xavier and the entire Marvel mutant community on the paradise of Krakoa.
Marvel Comics has unveiled an exciting twist in Ms. Marvel’s journey. While her origin is deeply connected to the Inhumans and their Terrigenesis process, the hero is also set to become a mutant. Following her recent demise in “The Amazing Spider-Man,” Kamala’s future takes a new direction. She will return as a mutant in the upcoming series “Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant,” co-written by actor Iman Vellani and Sabir Pirzada, with artwork by Carlos Gomez and Adam Gorham. This ongoing series will delve into Kamala Khan’s life as a member of the X-Men while preserving her Inhuman roots for longtime fans.
In the latest sneak peek of the annual “X-Men: Hellfire Gala,” a grand event uniting mutants, non-mutants, and celebrities to honor mutantdom, Ms. Marvel’s resurrection takes center stage on Krakoa. The preview unveils that her return holds surprising revelations, showcasing her newfound uniqueness that sets her apart from anyone expected.
Ms. Marvel Meets Her New Superhero Family
In the recent preview of “X-Men: Hellfire Gala” by Gerry Duggan and R.B. Silva, unveiled through ComicBook.com, Emma Frost and Cyclops can be seen discussing how to introduce Kamala Khan to the X-Men and reveal her mutant heritage. This conversation takes place weeks before Ms. Marvel’s demise in “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Cyclops acknowledges the complexity of Ms. Marvel’s life, considering she still lives with her family and maintains a secret identity. He expresses his commitment to finding a suitable way to inform her of the truth.
On the next page, it becomes evident that Cyclops never had the chance to speak with Kamala. As Kamala awakens from her resurrection, she appears bewildered. Charles Xavier approaches her and reveals that she is a mutant, welcoming her to Krakoa. Hope Summers surprisingly clarifies that Kamala possesses both Inhuman and mutant abilities, a previously unknown combination. To add to the peculiarity, Egg, a member of the resurrection team, shares that Kamala was prioritized and pushed to the front of the resurrection line. This unexpected situation represents a significant change for the young hero.
Below is the synopsis of “X-Men: The Hellfire Gala,” and you can find the complete preview at ComicBook.com.

Ms. Marvel is Becoming Marvel’s Next Great Mutant
Ms. Marvel’s transformation into a mutant marks a significant shift for the character, but it aligns with the surprise revelation of her mutant status in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Balancing the comics with the MCU can be challenging, but keeping Kamala’s Inhuman origin intact while introducing her as a mutant offers the best of both worlds. This allows Iman Vellani and future writers to explore her new heritage while preserving her past stories. Concerns about potential retcons or changes to Kamala’s personal history due to the MCU origin seem unfounded, as the comics appear to maintain the character’s growth and continuity.
Witnessing Ms. Marvel’s integration into the world of Marvel’s mutants as one of the X-Men may require some adjustment. Still, her recent resurrection, new costume, and potential new role in the Marvel Universe signal the start of an exciting new chapter in Kamala’s journey.
Experience Ms. Marvel’s triumphant return and her joining the X-Men in “X-Men: Hellfire Gala” #1 by Gerry Duggan and R.B. Silva. This special issue will be available in comic book stores starting Wednesday, July 26.
