Kamala Khan is getting some help, as a new character called Amulet will debut in the pages of the upcoming Magnificent Ms. Marvel #13. Marvel’s new Arab-American superhero has been teased for a couple of months, however, in a new preview, we finally get to see Amulet in action.

Amulet, who’s real name is Fadi Fadlalah, was the creation of writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Sara Alfageeh. Alfageeh previously revealed Amulet’s design was inspired by the Nazar, a symbol that protects those who wear it from the evil eye. Fadi has “defensive-style” powers, while he’s described as a gentle giant. Amulet’s design is really sleek and the colors of his costume are eyecatching and bright. Ahmed teased Amulet to having a pretty sizable role in the upcoming adventures of Ms. Marvel.

Multiversity.com has preview pages for Amulet’s upcoming first appearance in Magnificent Ms. Marvel #13, where the new hero first steps up into action. In the preview, Ms. Marvel is fighting a monster with terrible breath. While she manages to knock them around and send them spiraling into a strong man high striker, the monster doesn’t relent. It becomes faster and harder to knockdown. Kamala laments that she’s off her game following the loss of her Stormranger suit. As she questions her abilities and wonders if she’s going to die at a country fair, Amulet shows up to block her from the strike of the monster. You can check out all of the preview pages here.

 

Talk about great timing. Amulet’s abilities to create shields seems like it will come in handy as the two heroes get to know each other better. But for now, I’m sure Kamala appreciates Amulet showing up to save her from the monster’s attack. How will the two’s relationship blossom from here? Kamala’s usually a one-woman show. However, with the loss of Stormranger, she needs all the help she can get - at least for the immediate future. Having a gentle giant in Amulet by her side will help her figure out what she’s been missing since the loss of her suit. Amulet couldn’t have arrived at a better time.
