This article will contain spoilers for Ms Marvel.
At the end of Ms Marvel Bruno tells Kamala that he found something special in her blood and said that she had a mutation. This seems to be clearly hinting at the fact that Kamala May in fact be a mutant. This is a big change from the comics as she is originally an inhuman.
In the comics the Inhuman’s were created due to the fact that Marvel no longer had the film rights to the X-Men and wanted an alternative they could use. However now Marvel Studios has those film rights back it has been up in the air what they will do with the Inhuman’s.
Well it looks like the finale of Ms Marvel gave us our answers as it seems that they may just be combining the two into one and referring to them all as mutants. Now this does actually make a lot of sense as it would make things a lot less complicated going forward in the MCU.
The Inhuman’s in the comics were never that popular in the first place, however they gained popularity in Agents of Shield, which is still my favourite marvel show to date. There have been a lot of questions going around to see if Agents of Shield is canon to the MCU or if it is in a variant timeline. However there are a lot of rumours going around that Chloe Bennet is returning to the MCU as Quake in Secret Invasion. A quick and easy way around the confusion is just to state that Inhuman’s are a faction of mutants that had their powers awoken first with the help of terrigen mist, just like Kamala’s bracelet helped her to use her own powers.
The Inhuman’s can easily become mutants as all they really would need to do is change their name, so it will be interesting to see how marvel handles this going forward.
Personally I don’t have a problem with Inhuman’s and mutants being combined, however I would still like to see Inhuman characters such as Quake, Black Bolt and Medusa in the MCU. I would also like to see Agents of Shield kept canon as it seems like they are doing the same with the defenders shows that were over on Netflix.
