Dragon Ball Z Inspired Major Ms. Marvel

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah accredit Dragon Ball Z and other anime for inspiring the "embiggen" moment in Ms. Marvel's finale. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah reveal how Dragon Ball Z inspired Kamala’s “embiggen” moment in Ms. Marvel’s finale. Marvel Studios’ latest Disney+ series saw Iman Vellani make her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Kamala, a 16-year-old Pakistani-American fangirl of the Avengers (particularly Captain Marvel) from Jersey City who struggles to fit in until getting powers of her own. Ahead of the six-episode series’ premiere, viewers knew to expect those powers would look slightly different due to a change in Kamala's origin story.


The comics, Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman who obtains her shape-shifting powers through Terrigan Mists. In the MCU, Ms. Marvel is a mutant and descendant of the ClanDestine, who manifests purple-colored “hard light” thanks to a cosmic bangle and her genetic code. Kamala’s Ms. Marvel powers further changed in the series finale, revealing the characters’ “embiggen” power in a fight with Damage Control. Following a quiet utterance of that phrase, Kamala increased in size and became stronger than ever before. In many ways, the moment is reminiscent of Dragon Ball Z—which often sees characters achieve a new, more powerful transformation out of desperation.


A Loophole That Can Make The Scarlet Witch The MCU has created a loophole that would allow Scarlet Witch to be both a mutant and a sorceress - is it possible she'll return in the MCU? The MCU has created a loophole that means Scarlet Witch could be a mutant after all thanks to Ms. Marvel. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch have always been unusual characters; traditionally treated as mutants, they were predominantly associated with the Avengers rather than the X-Men. As a result, their film rights were shared between Marvel and Fox - and, in 2014, that led both studios to begin developing their own versions of Quicksilver. In the MCU, he was accompanied by his twin sister, Scarlet Witch.


Avengers: Age of Ultron reinvented Scarlet Witch as a "miracle," revealing her powers had been granted (or, perhaps, triggered) by exposure to the Mind Stone. Meanwhile, the comics themselves retconned Scarlet Witch as no mutant, revealing that had been a lie planted by the villainous High Evolutionary; instead, in the comics she became a "mere" sorceress, albeit one of the most powerful on Earth. Still, most comic book readers remain irritated by this retcon, and there's a deep desire for Wanda Maximoff to be declared a mutant once again. It wouldn't be a surprise to see this influence the MCU once again.


Ms. Marvel episode 6 introduced mutants into the MCU, and in doing so it established a loophole that could mean Scarlet Witch is indeed a mutant in the films after all. The episode saw Bruno reveal she possesses a genetic anomaly unique among the members of her family, one that was activated by the bangle. Ms. Marvel is therefore the MCU's first official mutant - but it's entirely possible there have been other hidden mutants, their X-genes triggered by exposure to exotic energy. As such, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver could have been mutants all along.


ComicBook, El Arbi and Fallah discussed how Akira Toriyama’s beloved Japanese media franchise, Dragon Ball, influenced Kamala’s transformation in Ms. Marvel’s finale. With a little help from the series’ visual effects artist, the directors were able to evoke a feeling akin to the one felt when Goku powers up. Ms. Marvel, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and Dragon Ball Super follow a hero with a powerful lineage. Instead of being a ClanDestine, Goku a.k.a. Kakarot is a Sayian from the Planet Vegeta who grows to become the universe’s greatest warrior alongside the Z warriors.
