The Partition

The Partition of India is a real-life historical event when the British Empire divided India into two separate countries; India and Pakistan, in 1947. It’s considered a tragic event in history. Kamala’s parents, including Zenobia Shroff’s Muneeba Khan, were part of those refugees who escaped the chaos that ensued following the Partition.

Also, Kamala’s grandmother, Sana, knows that their families are part of the Clandestines or Djinns.

Ant-Man And Adrian Alphona, One Of The Co-Creators Of Ms. Marvel

At the train station, Kamala sees an Ant-Man mural inspired by the art of Adrian Alphona (his name is on the mural). Adrian Alphona is one of the co-creators of Kamala Khan AKA Ms. Marvel, and he was the very first artist for the character back in 2013, working on the first issue with writer G. Willow Wilson.

The Debut Of Red Dagger

Red Dagger, whose real name is Kareem (played by Aramis Knight), is one of the first characters introduced in the Ms. Marvel comics. In the comics, he uses his skills to be a vigilante named Red Dagger in Karachi, Pakistan.

In the MCU version, it looks like he can somehow sense the Noor, the power source of the Clandestine/Djinn, which is how he found Kamala Khan.

A Reference To Kamala Khan Actress Iman Vellani’s Real Roots

When asked by Red Dagger if all masked Americans have superpowers, Kamala replies: “How do you know I’m not Canadian?”

That’s a funny inside joke, because cute and adorable Iman Vellani, the actress who plays Kamala Khan, is actually Canadian in real life.

The Red Daggers And the Clandestines

In the MCU, the Red Daggers are a group of people with the aim of protecting humans from the threats of the unseen AKA the Clandestine AKA the Djinn. The Veil Of Noor is what separates the dimension of the Clandestines and the human world. The bangles can be used to open the Veil Of Noor.

The Bangle Sends Kamala Back In Time During The Partition

When Najma stabs Kamala’s bangle with a weapon, it seeming opened a portal which sent Kamala back in time during the Partition when refugees were scrambling to escape teh country. Perhaps we’ll learn the real history of Kamala’s family in the episode coming out next week.

Until then, excelsior!
