Hopefully never
Is Fallen Friend the same as the Classified 4 issue limited series?
Kamala's creator originally intended for her to be a mutant but you know, the Powers that Be had other plans.
Nobody dog pile me. I support each poster's right to their preferences. That said, if Kamala really does end up joining the Uncanny crowd, I'm perfectly happy with it.
Between she and Franklin Richards (again, no disprespect) I prefer Kamala.
The real joy I got out of Franky being a mutant was the brief stint of angst between he and his dad. But alas, that's no longer a thread.
I phrased that weirdly, I meant to ask whether the mini solicited as Classified was eventually revealed to be Fallen Friend.
As these seem to be 2 separate projects, one a limited series and the other a one-shot, my guess is that Classified is a "Ms. Marvel Reborn" book which is where I assume Kamala will come back to life.
This I'm inclined to agree with.
I'm curious to see if her shape changing will be altered.
Like, maybe how with other mutants, their mutations can be altered or "fixed" when they are resurrected, maybe the conflict between her healing factor and her shape changing will be reconciled by being resurrected or something.

Why not be a pivotal part of her character?
Being Inhuman was a pivotal part of her character -- and navigating and reconciling that cultural clash with her human/Muslim life/existence.
Cultural adaptation is bountiful story material. Its a huge part of what made her so unique and inspiring to so many readers.
Thinking about the idea of her gaining "energy field" kind of powers. Wasn't there a story in her first series where her older brother was exposed to terrigen mist, in an attempt to turn him into an inhuman and he briefly displayed some kind of forcefield, only for him to turn out not being an inhuman after all and never showcasing the powers again?
Was that ever followed up in said series or those after?
I went with the “Other” option which I’d phrase as…
“Wait. It hasn’t already happened?”
“Generally, one knows me before hating me” -Quicksilver
My prediction for Kamala once she joins the mutant family is a New Mutants, Ms. Marvel-led book.
Not necessarily with Kamala as leader but more with her as a focus character. I find it unlikely the current regime will reiterate the classic NM yet again so soon, so adding Kamala would probably increase interest in the book and also give her new teammates to bounce off of.
Make her hang with the 2003 New Mutants cast. They may or may not be the same age as her, and there are a lot of characters she could bounce off of. It'd be pretty funny if an idealist newcomer like Kamala has to deal with the more cynical, jaded and experienced kids. She asks them about the X-Men, and Surge just gives her a long laundry-list of all the crappy thing they've done.
Kamala: "So, Scott and Emma, huh? How did that happen?"
Surge: "Scott cheated on his wife with her, when she was his therapist. They made out on her grave after she died."
Kamala. "O-oh... But at least they're good hero-"
Hellion: "They failed to protect us and left us to fend for ourselves."
Surge: "Remember the time they closed down the school and abandoned us with nothing?"
Hellion: "Remember when they made me go out on a mission after I lost my hands and was on a bunch of painkillers?"
Surge: "Remember when they drafted a vulnerable teenage Laura to their death squad?"
Hellion: "Remember the Danger Room?"
Surge: "Remember Danger?"
Kamala: "I wonder what Wolverine is doing..."
Hellion: "Hanging out with underaged girls."
