Just after the explosive finale of Ms. Marvel, the directors of the show Adil El Arbi and Billal Fallah defend the decision to change the origins of Kamala Khan from the comics as in the show, it was revealed that she may possibly be MCU's first mutant and not an Inhuman.
To the shock of many, just before Ms. Marvel closes the curtains in its finale, Episode 6, No Normal, Bruno talked to Kamala that he found something different with her genes in comparison to that of her family, something "like a mutation."
This possibly hints Kamala being the first ever mutant in the MCU and some fans are outraged why the show didn't stick to the source material with Kamala being an Inhuman as if changing her powers from shapeshifting to hard light wasn't enough.
In an interview with The Direct, Directors of Ms. Marvel Adil El Arbi and Billal Fallah dealt with this outrage and they defend that the show didn't rule out the possibility that other iterations of Kamala in other universes may be the same as that in the comics.
Adil El Arbi said that the multiverse can do that, “Well, you know, the thing is that, what’s happening nowadays with the Multiverse, everything is possible nowadays. There’s so many different parallel worlds and timelines where…maybe there’s a world where Kamala Khan is an Inhuman, and in there, she has the exact same powerset as in the comics, we just don’t know."

El Arbi added, "That’s the only thing that we can say to the fans, but I mean, the possibilities are now unlimited, I would say.”
With the opening of the multiverse through various titles under the MCU, El Arbi's argument would hold water. Somewhere in a parallel universe, Kamala may exactly be as that in the comics where she is an inhuman and has shapeshifting powers, or in another universe, Kamala may not even be a hero at all.
The introduction of the multiverse in the MCU has opened a plethora of possibilities that anything that isn't going with the flow, somewhere in the vast multiverse, it could be what is happening. It's the beauty of such a concept but dangerous, too, considering that it may be overused.
All six episodes of Ms. Marvel are now streaming on Disney Plus.
