19-year-old Pakistani Canadian Iman Vellani is smashing the scene with her debut as Kamala Khan – an imaginative, Pakistani American living in New Jersey.
The character was first introduced by Marvel in 2013 – discovers that she can walk on air among other purple-hued energy blasting abilities. Pretty Cool!
