Biography[]
Early Childhood[]
Kamala Khan was born in New Jersey City to Yusuf and Muneeba Khan and was raised with her brother Aamir. Her parents and brother are immigrants who moved from Karachi, Pakistan to New Jersy before Kamala was born. While still in kindergarten, Kamala met Nakia Bahadir, who became one of Kamala's closest friends. In the second grade, she met Bruno Carrelli, a young outsider her own age and the two became lifelong friends. Nakia and Bruno helped Kamala get through hard times, as she was often mocked by her peers for her differences, her nerdy interests and her strict parents. Kamala also found comfort in her love of video games, social media, fan fiction, and superheroes, a topic she found deep facsination with.
