In honor of Eid al-Adha The Jerusalem Post would like to shine a spotlight on Muslim superheroes and the people who write them.

The comic book industry has often been noted for its deep rooted Jewish influence, with some of the most lauded, acclaimed and influential writers and artists from the 1930s until now being Jews.

However, as time has gone on, the industry has evolved with it, becoming more diverse on the page and behind it.

The most famous example of a Muslim superhero in comics today is Marvel Comics' Kamala Khan, the latest hero to carry the mantle of Ms. Marvel. Created in 2013 by Muslims Sana Amanat and G. Willow Wilson, Khan is a Pakistani-American teenager living in a family of immigrants in Jersey City, when her superpowers are awakened. She soon began to headline her own ongoing series, the first Muslim superhero in Marvel to do so, and it has consistently sold well.

Kamala, she can change her body into shapes, see wikipedia link below. Anyway, if she's a Muslim, she certainly isn't a conventional one in any way. Style of dress, etc. I'd think Muslims would reject that. No hijab.

Pretty, but won't look so hot after somebody throws acid on her face for not wearing a hijab and not being accompanied by her brother when she fights crime.
