Random Back Issues #93 - Ms. Marvel #2

No, no, no, you have to clench your fists on either side of you and scream really loudly. Have you ever even seen Dragon Ball Z? Fake geek girls, I tell ya. *immediately beaten to death*

Having snuck out to a rowdy teen party, then been exposed to Terrigen Mists and breaking out of a weird egg, Kamala has also changed to look like Carol Danvers. Which does not produce the confidence and strength she hoped.

Wandering the fog, Kamala spies current Mean Girl Zoe and future fascist bootlicker Josh near a pier. While Kamala reflexively shrinks to bug size, Josh wants to sing, or dance, or drunkenly make-out. Zoe's not having it, and when Josh tries to dip her, drops her in the river instead. Kamala remembers something her father said about the importance of saving even one life, and is able to rescue Zoe while looking like Carol Danvers. 

Also, I love the little details Alphona adds for garbage that gets scooped up along with Zoe. I am very curious about "free-range maple syrup." Is this something Plant-Man is involved with? Trees that get up and move? Oh crap, it's not those plant-people that don't like K'un-Lun is it?

Zoe vows to never get wasted again while people thank "Captain Marvel" and compliment her return to her old costume. Kamala bails, thinking about how the boots pinch and the leotard gives her a wedgie. It occurs to me, is the costume Kamala's regular clothes, which she was able to change along with her body, or did her body actually grow over her clothes when she changed shape?

Still looking like a blonde Amazon, Kamala borrows a sweater from a guy with a shopping cart full of stuff and sneaks back into her room. Fails the stealth check though, as her brother hears her. Fortunately for Kamala, her body changed back to normal, so that's one less thing to explain, though she does try. Aamir takes this to mean some boy tried something at the party, which she assures him isn't the problem. Bad news, her parents know she snuck out. So she gets a lecture about how she's being willful and disobedient and her mother blames it on America. Then Kamala gets grounded. I guess no superheroing until that's lifted. Oh well.
