New screenshots released for Marvel’s Avengers, introducing Kamala Kahn as a playable Super Hero

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics revealed that fan-favorite Kamala Khan is the latest playable Super Hero to be available in Marvel’s Avengers. First appearing in Captain Marvel #14 in August 2013, Kamala quickly captured the imagination of generations of True Believers, leading to her own monthly comic series in February 2014.

According to the press release, Kamala Khan must apply her intellect, optimism, and unique abilities to the task of unravelling a global conspiracy and reassembling her personal heroes in time to stop a new secretive organization, Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM), before they unleash one of the greatest threats Earth has ever faced.

Players first encounter a young Kamala during A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Kamala is exposed to the mysterious Terrigen Mist, and finds herself developing extraordinary polymorphic powers, which she subsequently hides for years. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, Kamala uncovers a shocking conspiracy and embarks on a quest to reassemble the heroes she believes in and to become the hero she was destined to be.

Players begin the journey as Kamala Khan and learn the origins of her extraordinary powers. As the story expands, Kamala plays an essential role in bringing the disbanded Avengers back together. As each Super Hero is added to the roster, players must master all of their unique abilities, rebuild and customize the Avengers team to face increasingly growing threats only the Avengers together can defeat.

Shaun Escayg, Creative Director and Writer at Crystal Dynamics, said:

“An optimistic fan girl of the Avengers, Kamala Khan is the perfect character for the story we’re telling in Marvel’s Avengers. 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 can relate to and will want to play. Kamala Khan is one of the unique characters that makes our game stand apart from any Avengers story experienced before.”

Bill Rosemann, VP of Creative at Marvel Games, added:

“Kamala is an inspired and perfectly fitting choice to join the ranks of, and reassemble, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Perhaps more than any other character invented over the past decade, Ms. Marvel has not only charmed the hearts of longtime True Believers, but her unique mix of classic Marvel heroic elements and modern cultural relevancy has resulted in a headline-generating cultural icon.”

Sana Amanat, VP of Content and Character Development at Marvel, also said:

“It is a thrill to see Kamala in the Marvel’s Avengers game. Crystal Dynamics has done a marvelous job of crafting a brand-new take on Kamala, while staying true to the spirit of her inspiring character, charismatic persona, and relatable purpose. Fans of the character are in for quite a ride, along with a few surprises, when Marvel’s Avengers makes its debut next year.”

G. Willow Wilson, co-creator of Ms. Marvel, concluded:

“I think Kamala is a perfect fit for a game like this, since she sees the Marvel world the same way we do as fans and players. Kamala allows us to imagine what we ourselves would do if we suddenly discovered we had superpowers and got to stand alongside our heroes in their time of greatest need.”

Marvel’s Avengers will release on May 15th, 2020.

Enjoy!

  1. ” fan-favorite Kamala Khan ”

    who?

    Let me guess sjw brown strong empowered wamman of color, just in case you thought this wont be woke trash.

    1. Pretty much spot-on. The comic book industry including Marvel Comics has been decimated these past few years and the SJWs who infiltrated it have played a significant role in that. The latest such lunacy being DC Comics having hired Zoe Quinn.

      #getwokegobroke is in full effect.

          1. it’s ok to be racist to indians/pakis/brownies who think they’re white besides i’m white i can’t be racist, go back to deep throating white dik brown f4get.

          2. so? im racist and im proud of it. Some ppl should earn their place in society not beg for everything to be given to them… when majority of them learns how to behave like civilised people i will stop being racist, but that is not gonna happen with low iq ppl screaming sjw propaganda slogans

  2. “Sana Amanat, VP of Content and Character Development at Marvel”

    For those unaware Amanat is an ultra SJW.

  3. “fan-favorite Kamala Khan” WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
    I’ve been around these supero heroes since i was 9 i’m 36 now. And i have no freakin clue who this is. WTF is going on around here?..

      1. That’s why we have he to stop consuming this stuff. But we as a collective is downright horrible as Fuq. So therefore, we’re doomed.

  4. Oh great. Eye rolling nonsense to get in the way of a good story. Fan favourite? Let me see who wrote this. Better be ‘random man who lives under a rock’.
