"Without trauma, the superhero genre seems to say, your stories don’t matter. Which is part of why I love G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona’s ‘Ms. Marvel.’ Kamala Khan doesn’t become a superhero because she’s traumatized; there are no dead Thomas Waynes or Uncle Bens in her origin story. Instead, she stumbled into superpowers, and then, inspired in part by her family and in part by her Muslim faith, she decides that she wants to use them to help people. And most of that helping is not especially violent — her first super-act is to save a drunk girl from drowning, and it takes her several issues to actually fight anybody. The first battle is with a confused fellow student who is sort of, kind of robbing a store; he ends up shooting her, which is presented both as low-key and as a big deal. Ms. Marvel isn’t permanently hurt (she has stretchy super-powers and is invulnerable) but the one accidental shot is still presented as terrifying and wrong. Violence here isn’t truth, but aberration; a fissure in real life rather than real life itself."
