    I get the feeling that Kamala's great grandmother might have been quasar. That's just me thinking that the bangle is a quantum band.

    Night light is an awful superhero name.

    Yes, which is why his approval of the Ms. Marvel series thus far is rather notable, if surprising.

    Nah, Perch just complains about terrible comics.

    Are we talking about comic or tv show?

    If it is the show then kissing Kamala wouldn't be the smart move. It might change the whole dynamic of their friendship. Selfishly I want it to happen so he could be forced to go to Caltech.

    I am trying to figure out her powers. Is she a Dazzler/Ice Man with a little bit of Jubilee amalgam? Is that energy or light she is constructing?

    It's hard light. The closest thing in the Marvel Universe is either Songbird or Quasar. They may well have given her Quasar's powers here. Of course DC has a much more famous example. Green Lantern.

    She is Frozone with light instead of ice

    I think the way they handled it made sense because the Nuhuman story was more connected to like immigrants or cultural identity at the time.

    Bad news for Ms. Marvel

    Despite all of the positive reactions to the new Disney+ series, and the limitless potential that her story has, the ratings for the project's viewership in its first five days are in and they don't quite reach the same heights as other series. In fact, they're one of the worst that Marvel Studios has ever seen.

    Ms. Marvel Gets Lackluster Audience

    Samba TV reported that Iman Vellani's Ms. Marvel did not perform well with regard to the number of viewers watching across the United States. In its report, the service revealed how only 775K US households watched the premiere episode within the first five days of it being on Disney+.

    To date, that makes the new coming-of-age story one of the worst-performing MCU debuts on Disney+. The only series potentially behind it is What If...?, though that project only has premiere data for its first day.

    For comparison, here's the five-day premiere viewership for Marvel Studios' other shows:

    WandaVision: 1.6 Million

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: 1.8 Million

    Loki: 2.5 Million

    What If..?: 281k (first-day audiences)

    Hawkeye: 1.5 Million

    Moon Knight: 1.8 Million

    Why Ms. Marvel's Viewership Is So Low

    One of the biggest factors going against Ms. Marvel that none of Marvel's other outings had to deal with is competition. Currently, the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi has its new installments premiering on the same day and time. So, not only does it have competition, but it's going against Ewan McGregor's fan-favorite character, whose show debuted with 2.14 million viewers during that same window of time. The game was rigged from the start.

    Despite these numbers, it's important not to correlate the audience size and quality; they're not mutually exclusive. Many have declared Ms. Marvel to be one of their favorite MCU series to date, despite the immature review-bombing taking place and low-scoring performance.

    Seeing that the upcoming Andor and She-Hulk will both overlap as well, these lower audience numbers could become the norm. Many feel Disney should consider releasing Marvel and Star Wars content on different days, which would help each project perform better and remain part of the internet conversation for longer.

    Hopefully, they'll see sense in that strategy, or else it will only get worse when more projects are released down the line.

    This is why it's not a good idea to have the show air around the same time as Obi-Won Kenobi.

    However, it must be noted that these numbers come from Samba TV, who only measure selected opted-in Smart TVs, which means actual total households may be even higher.

    No matter how many reboots, new origins, reinterpretations or suit redesigns. In the end, he will always be SUPERMAN

    Though the show seems to be performing well in Indonesia.
