Fridge Brilliance:

  • Some have noted Kamala not reacting all that sympathetically to the complaints about the distress she caused Jersey City. However there is a way to look at this beyond writing flubs: Kamala is a huge superhero fangirl, so she should well know about the Superhero Paradox. She'd also be aware that villains like the Collector were already there before she got her powers, that her activities did not create many of the villains she fights, such as the post Infinity Inhumans and Hydra, and how Doc.X was not made to destroy her specifically or fight her. Despite the common view of the people, Kamala knows that many of the problems in Jersey City were not created by her, and thus is in the right when she continues on heroing. It's simply people assuming that if the problem wasn't visible before it wasn't there, akin to how people can react to thinks like LGBT people and the Autism Spectrum.
    • Heck a number of the issues that occurred are tied into Loki. Kamala knows that Loki didn't come to Jersey City originally because of her, but because of the Inventor, who he came to investigate. She knows the blame for issues is not as much hers as they think, and has no issues handwaving the problem.
      • On the other hand, the things they bring up the most are the army of Ms Marvel clones and 4 story high T. Rex. Which Kamala is responsible for. And it makes sense that that's the incident they bring up the most as t was the most high profile and probably the most destructive
      • Technically Bruno made the T-Rex. The clones are her fault true, but that's still 1 incident of superheroes causing problems by being around out of her ......let's see Secret Wars plus Time Runs Out...that's about 16+ months or so. A year and a quarter and only that as a thing she caused is pretty good I'd say. Spidey had half the rogues gallery by that point I'd reckon, and she'd well aware of her lack of crazy scientists, electric nutcases, and lizards.

Fridge Horror:

  • New Jersey was destroyed by Galactus in the Ultimate Universe. Which means the reason that Kamala lacks an Ultimate counterpart is because Ultimate Kamala Khan died without ever getting her powers, several years before the incursion that wiped out the universe!
    • That's hard to say because we don't know if an Infinity and Inhumanity event could even occur in the Ultimate universe.
    • Or even if Kamala exists in the Ultimate universe in the first place. Or if that version of her lives in NJ.
    • While it's unknown whether an Ultimate!Kamala Khan exists in the Marvel Multiverse, the implications are still there due to confirmed counterparts of Ultimate incarnations of 616 characters. For all we know, Ultimate!Kamala Khan could have just been minding her own business in her world's version of New Jersey until Galactus showed up....
  • Shocker just crossing over from New York City to have fun in a less superhero rich city makes one worry that the next one to do that might be a far more brutal villain than Shocker was.
