8. Kamala Khan
Theres a chance that a lot of you wont know who Kamala Khan is but shes the MUs current Ms. Marvel, and she just happens to be a teenage Muslim. Oh and shes awesome. Kamalas intense likeability, alongside the fact shes a positive role model with a normal body shape (when shes not stretching her limbs to fight crime that is) has made her a hit in the pretty short time since she first appeared. Shes basically the modern Spider-Man, a kid struggling with her powers and trying to fit in to both the real world and the world of superheroes that shes found herself in. Thered be a bit of comics continuity time bending going on if Kamala was to appear at school alongside Peter as shes a teenager in the main Marvel timeline of Earth 616 whereas Peter is somewhere in his 30s. Shes also not likely to appear as Ms. Marvel any time soon as Marvel is developing a movie based on the classic version of the character, Carol Danvers, Still, itd be fun to see Kamala and Peter as study buddies, and nice to have a female character whos more than a match for Peter intellectually and not just a love interest.
