Ms. Marvel who is Kamran’s mother and Kamala’s great grandmother, Aisha?

Ms. Marvel has recently arrived on Disney+ and the new character reveal for Kamran’s mother might have left you wondering who she is. If that isn’t enough intrigue, there’s even more attention on Kamala’s great grandmother, who used to own the bangle before her, the bangle which gives her her powers, so you might be wondering who she is too.

Obviously, we’re not on the writing team at Marvel (sadly), but here’s our Sherlockian – defintitely a phrase, by the way – effort to explain things. It follows up on our recent post on Kamala Khan’s powers in Ms. Marvel, which is working out to be along the right lines, so we’re riding high on that one at the moment.

Both Kamran’s mother and Kamala’s great grandmother appear to be linked. As the series has developed, we’ve got a lot more information about their relationship and how it relates to everything that is going on.

Who plays Kamran’s mother?

Firstly, Kamran’s mum, Najma, is played by Nimra Bucha, who starred in Manto, Baandi and Kamli in Pakistan. Ms Marvel is her first western production and following Episode 2 she has gone on to become the villain of the plot, playing a key role in Kamala’s storyline.

She’s revealed at the very end of the Episode 2 where Kamran arrives out of nowhere in his ridiculously fancy car to save Kamala. When she takes off her mask, he introduces his mother who says she’s been waiting a very long time to meet her.

From this short scene there were a few mysteries to uncover. Firstly, how does Kamran show up just at the right time and place to pick up Kamala when she’s dressed in her Ms. Marvel costume. And, secondly, who is his mother and why has she been waiting a long time to meet her.

However, the end scene isn’t the first time Kamala has seen the woman, because earlier in Episode 2 she sees a vision of her just as she’s trying to save the boy at the mosque. She’s also the same woman she sees just before blacking out when her dad tells the story about her grandmother and great grandmother.

Who is Kamran’s mother and how is she linked to Kamala’s powers?

From the initial mysteries, it seemed certain that the woman is linked to Kamala’s bracelet and powers and that has been confirmed as more episodes came out. The visions and the fact that Kamran arrives at just the right time and place was the first hint that his mother has powers too.

In the next episode it was revealed that she and Kamala’s great grandmother are from another dimension called Noor and that they are known as Clandestines or Djin. They’ve got enhanced abilities and the two of them had searched to find the bangle that gives Kamala her powers.

The bracelet has the ability to unlock and enhance these allowing Kamala to do things that the others cannot. Najma wants to get the bracelet and use it to open up an inter-dimensional rift to get back to the Noor, but this will cross the barrier and erase Earth in the process.

Who is Kamala’s great grandmother?

Aisha, Kamala’s great grandmother in Ms. Marvel, disappeared during Partition. Kamala’s mother Muneeba doesn’t like to talk about it, but on a call to her grandmother, Sana, Kamala finds out that the bracelet that gives her powers belonged to Aisha.

Sana is also the girl that Kamala’s dad Yusuf talks about at the dinner table with Aamir and Tayesha. In the story, she makes it back to the train miraculously following a trail of stars just before it pulled out of the station.

On the same night, Sana’s mother, Aisha, disappeared as they were leaving and Sana’s father had a leg injury, so clearly something big went down that night. We’re betting that this was also linked to the bracelet and Noor powers that run in Kamala’s family, as well as to Kamran’s mother and her lineage.

It seems likely that Aisha had tried to keep the bracelet away from Najma to stop her from possibly destroying earth to get back to their dimension. This could be why she disappeared on the night of the train journey.

The character hasn’t made an appearance as of yet but we tend to find out more about her in each episode. There’s two more to go and Episode 4 ended with a big vision sequence at the train station. so we’ll update things here about Kamran’s mother and Kamala’s great grandmother as soon as we know for sure.
