Ms Marvel Episode 1 – “Generation Why”
Kamala Khan is a 16-year-old high schooler and fangirl of the Avengers, particularly Captain Marvel. After failing another driving test and meeting with school counselor Gabe Wilson, Kamala and her best friend Bruno Carrelli finish her Captain Marvel cosplay for “AvengerCon” while avoiding her strict parents, Yusuf and Muneeba.
Kamala receives a package of items from her grandmother including a golden bangle, but Muneeba sees it as junk. After failing to convince her parents to let her go to AvengerCon, Kamala and Carrelli sneak out and attend anyway, taking the bangle as part of her cosplay.
After getting there and dressing up, she puts it on, but it causes her to shoot energy constructs, inadvertently causing havoc. Carrelli rushes Kamala home, where a distraught Muneeba pleads with her to focus on her own story and grounds her.
In a mid-credits scene, Department of Damage Control (DODC) agents P. Cleary and Sadie Deever watch a video of Kamala’s incident at AvengerCon and head to New Jersey to find and detain her.
Ms Marvel Episode 2 – “Crushed“
Kamala begins training to control her powers with Bruno’s help. Dissatisfied with the male-dominated leadership of their Mosque Board, Nakia decides to stand for elections and names Kamala her manager. The three are invited to a party organized by Zoe, where they meet Kamran, a new British Pakistani senior at school.
Kamala is infatuated with Kamran; the two exchange numbers and Kamran promises to train her in driving. Their schedule interferes with her superhero training, which frustrates Bruno. Curious about her great-grandmother Aisha, who owned the bangle she wears, Kamala asks Muneeba but she dismisses her.
Cleary and Deever question Zoe and conclude that the superhero was South Asian. At the annual Iftar for Eid Al-Adha, Kamala enquires about Aisha to her grandmother, and her relatives badmouth Aisha. At the event, a young boy slips from his balcony and hangs onto the railing by an inch.
Kamala dons her costume and rescues him, momentarily faltering after having a vision of a woman while using the bangle. Kamala is detected by drones operated by Deever and flees. Kamran rescues Kamala with his car and introduces her to his mother, who is the same woman who appeared in Kamala’s vision.

Najma explains that she and Kamran are part of a group of enhanced beings known as Clandestine or Djinn who were exiled from the Noor dimension and that Aisha was one of them. She also reveals that the bangle might be able to help them return, and asks for Kamala’s help.
Kamala agrees, but Bruno warns her that interdimensional travel could be dangerous, so she asks Kamran for more time to ensure that they can do it safely. Kamran assents, but Najma refuses to wait and decides to force Kamala to help them. Kamala’s brother Aamir marries his fiancée Tyesha, but Kamran crashes the wedding to warn Kamala before the other Clandestine arrive.
Kamala, Bruno, and Kamran are overpowered by the Clandestine while Najma tries to use the bangle, which triggers a vision of a train. The DODC agents arrive and capture the Clandestine, including Kamran. As Kamala and Bruno escape, Nakia sees Kamala using her powers. Sana contacts Kamala, revealing that she also saw the vision of the train and insisting that Kamala and Muneeba must visit her in Karachi.

The vigilante Kareem later takes Kamala back to the Red Daggers’ hideout, where Kamala learns from their leader Waleed that the Clandestines are trying to break the Veil of Noor, which separates the Djinns‘ dimension from the human world, in order to expand and take over. The Clandestine manage to escape the DODC’s Supermax prison, but Najma elects to abandon Kamran for his choice in helping Kamala.
Kamala begins training with the Red Daggers to master her powers, but they are interrupted by the Clandestine. A chase ensues, and Waleed is killed while trying to protect Kamala and Kareem.

Hasan and Sana are separated in the chaos. Kamala is able to interact with Aisha, who asks her to guide Sana before dying. Conjuring a projection of stars to lead Sana to her father, Kamala realizes she was the one who reunited them. Returning to the present, she finds that Najma’s strike had opened the Veil of Noor, but it vaporizes anyone who interacts with it. Najma transfers her power to Kamran before sacrificing herself to close the Veil.
