Marvel’s Avengers has taken a bit of a battering since being formally unveiled at E3 2019, but the project has started to look a lot more interesting in recent months. Case in point: this Kamala Khan unveiling is pretty neat, as Ms Marvel has been officially confirmed as the release’s sixth playable character. For those out of the loop, she’s a kind of Stretch Armstrong-type character, which looks odd in the Crystal Dynamics title’s artstyle – but still fun.
“Telling our story of Kamala’s coming-of-age brings a fresh, hopeful perspective to the gameplay experience and her unique abilities as Ms Marvel make her a character every person will want to play,” creative director Shaun Escayg said on the PlayStation Blog. “Kamala Khan is the defining ingredient that makes our game stand apart from any Avengers story you’ve experienced before.”
You can learn a lot more about the character's backstory and gameplay in the behind-the-scenes trailer embedded below:

Not gonna lie I don't know much about this character. Problem is for me at least is that the elastic power looks out of place weirdly. I know its a super hero world where people have super powers but I dunno if it's the graphics or art design that makes her seem from another game. That or the fact I've become used to the main avengers powers.
@Danloaded I think it looks weird, too. Gameplay-wise it seems fun, but it doesn't mesh with the art style.
Brilliant! To be honest, I way prefer the legacy heroes to a lot of the same old faces. Ms Marvel is definitely a highlight alongside Miles Morales and Nova so here’s hoping they add offshoot teams like the Champions, Young Avengers and, dare I say it, the Pet Avengers.
This game is certainly growing on me. Looking forward to learning more about the MP side of things!
@get2sammyb I agree it looks fun. Don't think itl be enough to stop people knocking the game tho. So far it looks good but not great. Now add ant man or rocket and il change my mind lol
I think she looks fine. Dont know much about the character, but seems like a good addition to the game.
@Danloaded @CB7Tuner91 Her tone and personality is kinda like a female spiderman but with slightly less smart*** comments and more fangirl-ing. (She made a Wolvering x Storm in space fanfic that became the 3rd most popular fanfic)
She can change the size and length of any part of her body from micro to gigantic, faster healing, and she can shapeshift.
Pretty cool to add Ms. Marvel. I’m looking forward to this. I know the game has been getting a lot of hate, but I think it will turn out alright. At least I hope it does.
Ms Marvel has Mr Fantastic powers? That's news to me...
And is embiggen a perfectly cromulent word?
@Xaessya sounds like someone il enjoy. Thanks for the info
@Danloaded ant man would definitely be a very interesting character to play as. Would like the see that, everything being gigantic and u being very small would be a cool thing to experience.
Ew.
I hate this "character".
Don't know the character that well but i look forward to getting to know her in the game.
Would rather have seen them include miles morales or spider gwen.
Kamala Kahn is nothing but a huge cringe
I think i rather see more characters like this new ones instead of same old every time. Spiderman does not need to be in everything. Kamala Kahn looks more fun then the original cast. Its always easy too keep serving up the old. Looks like Hollywood lets do a remake because we cant think of something new.
@get2sammyb Yep its horrible that something fun gameplay wise is in a game what are they thinking.
i agree it looks a bit odd with the more realistic art style the game is going for but it's a cool edition all the same, it's not a character you normally get to play as in Marvel games
I really like her character and gives the game diversity. She is a stand out Muslim super hero
@Flaming_Kaiser Except no one said that. Gameplay looks great, but I personally think it looks weird in this artstyle. Just my opinion!
Now it’s looking interesting.
Repeating Same characters and telling stories that don’t fit with each other leave that DC....
Browsing the news, it seems that Ms Marvel's inclusion will be nothing less than divisive. Whether that's because of "WHERE'SWOLVERINE!?!?" or other … political reasons, I cannot determine (yet).
I personally like her as a character. She doesn't have this snotty, arrogant 'I'm-always-right-and-I'm-here-to-make-women-look-awesome' attitude of Carol Danvers and she's a humble, enthusiastic person with her heart in the right place. Which is what a hero should be, imo.
Show me Spidey in the core roster and Venom as DLC and I'm sold.
… nah, I'm buying this game even if it doesn't have those two.
(but seriously, give me Spidey and Venom)
@BENDsli
Huge cringe.
She's an over the top/rip off manga-esque character in a western comic with a dumb catch phrase.
I'm probably just biased because I tried to read her books, but man she sucks and is incredibly inconsistent in her main book and in Champions.
And don't get me started about Civil War 2....
Terrible.
@FullbringIchigo she's in Ultimate Alliance 3 on Switch and Future Fight on mobile, I also believe she's most other mobile games, too, other than Spider-Man and the above mentioned Switch and Mobile games, what marvel games have really come out recently? There are plenty of good new characters out there without bringing hot garbage into the game
I thought Ms. Marvel was the same as Captain Marvel now I'm confused since this one also has Mr Fantastics elastic powers so I would've preferred him over this one
To me, this makes me more interested in the game. I think it looks pretty good. Graphically and the gameplay possibilities.
@GKO900 Captain Marvel used to go by Ms. Marvel.
Kamala Khan chose to honor Captain Marvel by taking on her old name.
(She's also a big fangirl of Captain Marvel)

@BENDsli i don't have a Switch and my most marvel games on mobile just aint much fun so i don't play them anymore
@Danloaded yup. Pretty standard/ dull character design with the 'quirky' Mr. Fantastic stretch power doesn't really do it for me, although I understand they're trying to open the game up to include new favourites and attract a wider scope of audience. Kinda actually turned me off this game now, not that I was ever so keen to begin with.
@get2sammyb you think it gonna be great game ?
What I'm still wondering about this game is whether it will be fun for non superhero fans, I don't really like superhero games but spiderman on ps4 was fantastic and currently this game isn't appealing that much to me
@FullbringIchigo so by saying the she's not a character you usually get to play, you're saying you just don't play?
@BENDsli n i'm saying it might be fun to play as a character like her for a change, it's something different
Well that's a big turnoff for me.
