LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jumana Zakir knows who she is going to be for Halloween this year. Hint: Her new favorite superhero is a lot like her – female, teen, Muslim, American and 'totally awesome.' 'Kamala Khan is me,' said the exuberant 13-year-old from Anaheim, California. 'She is just like me.' Khan is the Marvel Cinematic Universe's first Muslim superhero to headline her own television show. 'Ms. Marvel,' which launched on Disney+ June 8, has struck a chord with South Asian Muslims in the West because of its relatability and how it portrays Muslim families.
