Ms Marvel (2014) #5 *Spoilers and Thoughts*

[MarvelMaster616]

So much love for this series. Every issue just makes me love Kamala more and more. This issue was no exception. That moment with her and her father was very sweet and a nice insight into her family. It seems as though there never any characters who actually come from loving, caring families with good, caring parents. When did it become a prerequisite that every character have serious parenting issues? I like that Kamala breaks that mold. She didn't need anyone in her family to die to become a hero. She didn't need any tension or tragedy. She just needed to be a genuinely good girl with a genuinely good family. That shouldn't be a novel concept, but it is. I also really like the role Bruno is playing, almost sort of like an Alfred or a Jarvis. Didn't really care for her "villain" though. This Inventor guy doesn't strike me as all that compelling, but I'm willing to give it a few issues. There's certainly plenty to love about this series and it's by far my favorite new Marvel series in a long time.

This panel is one of the best in the series so far.

"Word."

Well, I can't say The Inventor turned out as I thought he would, but at least we've finally got a face to go with the name.

I'm guessing he's an Inhuman, too. It's the only logical reason I can think of behind his... unique appearence.

[Supernature]

Super cute book.

Hope it keeps going for a while.

And once again, the background is littered with tons of random jokes on the items.

Ones I recall are "GMO's: Ingredients: On a Need to Know Basis", "Olive Oil?" and "Yoga Flame or Yoga Fire".

mayybe the inventor's wearing a mask and gloves?

I was at my lcs the other day, and seen a little girl (7 or 8) with her dad, and she had the latest issue of Ms Marvel in hand, it put a big smile on my face and filled my heart with joy*...

*Chessy, but true, lol

[Myetche]

If he was, then I don't think he'd have a reason to wear them in such a secluded place where nobody can see his face.

How does it boost the inhumans (any more than Kamala already does, anyway)?

assuming Inhuman actually lasts long enough to do a proper crossover; this more or less explains why her brother and one of her parents hasn't undergone terigenesis, even the dying-in-cuccoon case of dante's mom. considering Lash is basically ultimate magneto without any vestige of nuance; his pitch will presumably involve ye olde "their not even related to you" line. medusa will probably make a more well intentioned, yet equally condescending, version of the same

punching will ensue

Lovely issue, as always.

But can someone explain the whole 'super snot' thing? What exactly was it, and what did they make with it.
And what was the deal with her throwing the shopping cart into the water? Why was that "simultaneously awesome and gross"?

It was explained in issue #3. The "super-snot" is a biokinetic polymer designed to make stretchy fabric even stretchier. Bruno put it on Kamala's Ms. Marvel outfit so that it would be better able to keep up with her morphing and stretching.

As to the other question, I'm guessing it was a strength test, and seeing Kamala stretch her hand out was a bit weird for Bruno to watch.

[Xalfrea]

Judging from what Bruno said though, she may have problems if she gets wet regarding the super snot. Hopefully they'll find a way to work around that.
