History Characters / MCUCitizensNewJersey

* WomenAreWiser: She's kinder and more patient with the Visions than her husband, under normal circumstances at least. And her most notable scene is definitely not "normal".

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Despite being best friends, Nakia is unaware of Kamala's powers. That is until the end of "Destined".

** In ''Film/{{The Marvels|2023}}'' she tells Kamala in Arabic that she'll kill Carol (one of the most powerful people in the universe) if Kamala gets hurt while she's traveling with Carol and Monica.

* JealousRomanticWitness: He's passive-aggressively jealous of how Kamala is instantly head-over-heels with Kamran, both in the studio and Leyenar cuts.

* LovesMyAlterEgo: Acts disdainful towards Kamala but is incredibly grateful to a disguised Kamala after she saves her life at [=AvengerCon=]. [[spoiler:Subverted when she later implies she knew it was Khan who saved her life and kept quiet because she owed her]].

** When the Department of Damage Control tries to interrogate her for information on "Night light", she refuses to give them anything after catching on to their [[RabidCop slimy, manipulative tactics]] and shuts up. [[spoiler:It's later implied she realized it was Kamala, as evident by the fact she wasn't surprised finding Khan with her mask off, but still helps her for saving her life.]]

* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Muneeba immediately rushes in to protect Kamala from Damage Control in "No Normal".]]

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''{{Series/Ms Marvel|2022}}'' | ''{{Film/The Marvels|2023}}''

* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:Aamir helps Kamala in protecting Kamran from Damage Control.]]

* CoolLoser: Billy is clear that his uncle is a {{Manchild}} but that doesn't stop either him or Tommy (especially Tommy) from loving every moment they spend with him.

* AdaptedOut: The victims of the reality warping anomaly [[spoiler:created by Wanda]] played a much bigger role in the ''Comicbook/HouseOfM'' storyline in their own rescue because most of them are superheroes. Here, most of them are civilian victims and only Monica Rambeau, and to a lesser extent Darcy Lewis, have any active role.

* {{Expy}}: A {{jerkass}} popular character who bullies the nerdy protagonist, but [[LovesMyAlterEgo adores their superhero identity]] and has HiddenDepths that show they are more than just a [[JerkJock stereotypical]] [[AlphaBitch bully]]? She is how [[Franchise/SpiderMan Flash Thompson]] is usually portrayed in the comics.

* TeenGenius: Bruno is highly mechanically and technologically inclined, whipping up functional gadgets (such as a digital assistant programmed to understand English and Urdu, and light-up gauntlets for Kamala's Ms. Marvel cosplay) from salvaged electronics. He is also capable of analyzing Kamala's genes [[spoiler:and after comparing her genetic makeup with the rest of her family, discovers that she's a Mutant]]. He even got accepted into an early immersion program at Caltech specifically for gifted students.

Bruno even got accepted into an early immersion program at Caltech specifically for gifted students.

* DropInCharacter: A regular fixture at the Khan household, Kamala mentions he doesn't have much family (his mother and father "[[MissingMom aren't]] [[DisappearedDad around]]" so he lives with his grandmother), and Muneeba is implied to regularly cook for him.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: He and Kamala have the kind of lifelong friendship where he is basically adopted by her family in regards of who gets invited to weddings, funerals, and other family gatherings. He is a regularly invited to family dinners, and when we see him decline the offer, Muneeba reflexively and almost magically (her secret) pushes around three days' worth of perfectly stored food into Bruno's arms. Given his crush on Kamala, he would like a different sort of relationship.

** Mostly subverted in that most of what she does to Kamala while acting the part ranges from petty to slightly annoying. Even when Kamala and her friends crash her party, she shows no issue with them being there uninvited. Kamala also gets jealous of how popular Zoe's video of being saved by "Night light" is, even though Zoe only ever says good things about the hero and promotes her. Meaning Zoe is indirectly making Kamala more popular through her own popularity [[spoiler: For most of the series, Zoe is also acting as a SecretKeeper for Kamala by merely pretending she doesn't know who "Night light" is when in reality, she has most likely known since day one. Yet Zoe never holds it over Kamala and even protects her from the government without Kamala realizing until much later.]]

* GenreSavvy: While being interrogated, it's when Agent Cleary and Deever go GoodCopBadCop that Zoe immediately realizes that they were using manipulative tactics to get information out of her.

** When the Department of Damage Control tries to interrogate her for information on Kamala, she refuses to give them anything after catching on to their [[RabidCop slimy, manipulative tactics]] and shuts up. [[spoiler:It's later implied she realized it was Kamala, as evident by the fact she wasn't surprised finding Khan with her mask off, but still helps her for saving her life.]]

* SecretSecretKeeper: It is heavily implied in the last episode that she knew who Kamala was from day one.

She shows no issue with them being there uninvited. Kamala also gets jealous of how popular Zoe's video of being saved by "Night light" is.

Merely pretending she doesn't know who "Night light" is when in reality she has most likely known since day one.

* ClosetGay: {{Implied|trope}}. Nakia asks her in the finale why she chose to keep Kamala's SecretIdentity and she answers with an extremely heartfelt "I think Kamala should be able to tell the world when she's ready." In the comics, Zoe is eventually revealed to be a closeted lesbian. And in the series, her soon to be ex-boyfriend asshole doesn't exist, the dude who tricked Kamala into drinking alcohol being given to a random student.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics he's more of a stern authority figure who complains about his daughter's strange interest in the Avengers and writing of fan-fics. Here he's more sweet and supportive of her as a dreamer.
* BumblingDad: He tries to be supportive of his teenaged daughter' interests, going as far as painting his face and head green so he can go with Kamala to [=AvengerCon=]. Problem is she's embarrassed by this surprise cosplay and that it involves matching outfits with her dad who's chaperoning her at what's supposed to be a cool outing with her friends.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Where her father has been changed to be more supportive of Kamala's fantastical dreams and open to new American things (geeking out over Bruno's homemade Echo), her mother has been made more strict and critical. In the comics, they both favored a more traditional Pakistani lifestyle and disapproved of Kamala GoingNative, and her mother's complaints were staged more as complaining to the sky that her daughter is doing things she doesn't approve of. Here, she's very blunt, even unkind, in her criticism of Kamala. It's implied that this is due to past trauma with her own mother, whose powered bracelet Kamala inherits, which the show's creator has said they will explore.

* FormerTeenRebel: During her teenage years Muneeba wore loud clothes, had EightiesHair, and ran away from home to become a Music/BonJovi groupee.

** When Kamala has not been answering her calls, she (jokingly?) says she wishes microchipping children was legal, and immediately tracks her down via their family cellular plan.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the comics Aamir started out as stuck-up and obsessively religious, had a low view of superheroes, and he and Kamala didn't get along well at first. In the series he's still very religious but is nicer to his sister and sticks up for her interest in superheroes.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Comics Aamir has no interest in being a superhero to the point of rejecting the idea of using his superpowers [[note]] except to protect Kamala from the comics version of Kamran [[/note]] and does not bother to find work, preferring to be a stay-at-home house husband and conservative Muslim. Here he worries about not being able to support his new bride, having no job or money or driver's license, and eagerly asks Bruno to check if he can have powers, clearly interested in the idea. A very huge departure from his comics version.

* AdaptationalWimp: Comics Aamir is implied to have the Inhuman gene and at one point Kamran exposes him to the Terrigen Mist (or what Kamran thought was Terrigen). Aamir emerges with the power to generate forcefields and shockwaves. Here according to Bruno, Aamir can't have powers [[spoiler: as he lacks the Mutation that Kamala and possibly Kamran possess.]]
* AsianDrivers: Despite being a South Asian Muslim who typically stereotyped as Taxi or delivery drivers in the West. He doesn't have a drivers license and it can be assumed he failed his test.
* EmoTeen: Apparently Aamir went through an emo phase, wearing all black and spiky jewelry as well as working at a Hot Topic. Tyesha is very amused by that.

* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Hinted at. He's an overly friendly guy but when he discovers [[spoiler:that Kamran and his sister might be an item he questions Kamran on what the two were doing]].

* NiceGirl: When the Clan Destine's attack ruins several weddings. Tyesha goes out of her way to comfort and compliment a crying bride despite Tyesha's wedding also being ruined.

* SassyBlackWoman: Extremely downplayed. But theres a hint of it during her wedding vows when she says I do with a flirty sassy tone.

* WomenAreWiser: When Kamran pretends to be Kamala's cousin, Aamir falls for it but Tyesha understands right away that Kamran and Kamala are trying to hide their budding dating relationship.

* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: latent Inhuman in the comics later mutated by an unknown mist initially believed to be terrigenisis. Here he is an unpowered Human-Clandestine hybrid.

* MuggleBornOfMages: [[spoiler:After learning his sister has powers, Aamir asks Bruno if he, too, is capable of producing HardLight since he's technically a Clandestine hybrid himself. However, Bruno implies that, ''genetically'' speaking, Aamir is completely human and incapable of harnessing Noor energy, as Kamala is an exception because she has a sort of mutation that he apparently does not have.]]

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Bruno is Kamala's oldest friend, and he has a massive crush on her. Unfortunately for him, she not only [[AllLoveIsUnrequited doesn't reciprocate]], she [[ObliviousToLove doesn't even know he has a crush]].

* LikeBrotherAndSister: He and Kamala have the kind of lifelong friendship where he is basically adopted by Kamala's family in regards of who gets invited to weddings, funerals, and other family gatherings. He is regularly invited to family dinners, and when we see him decline the offer, Muneeba reflexively and almost magically (her secret) pushes around three days worth of perfectly stored food into his arms. Given his crush on Kamala, he would like a different sort of relationship.

* TeenGenius: Bruno is highly mechanically and technologically inclined, whipping up functional gadgets (such as a digital assistant programmed to understand English and Urdu) from salvaged electronics. He is also capable of analyzing Kamala's genes [[spoiler:and after comparing it with the rest of her family, discovers that she's a Mutant.]]

* RaceLift: Unlike the comics where she is Turkish American, the MCU Nakia is half-Lebanese, half-white in the MCU. Unlike many Hollywood examples of casting mixed-race actors (where they're typically portrayed as "fully" non-white despite being visibly lighter skinned), her mixed ancestry is acknowledged and made part of her character, with her acknowledging the difficulties of being mixed race in the real world, namely being seen as an outsider in both cultures.

** Mostly subverted in that most of what she dose to Kamala while acting the part ranges from petty to slightly annoying. Even when Kamala and her friends crash her party. She shows no issue with them being there uninvited. Kamala also gets jealous of how popular Zeo's video of being saved by "Night light" is. Even though Zoe only ever says good things about the hero and promotes her.

* RaceLift: Slightly; in the comics, he was Italian-American and explicitly Catholic (which is one of the reasons him and Kamala had never had a RelationshipUpgrade, as it was unlikely their families would accept them dating outside the religion), but here he's played by the very ''not'' Italian Matthew Lintz[[note]] Linz surname indicates Dutch-Germanic heritage, if anything[[/note]].

'''Herb:''' Oh, no, I don't [[ADateWithRosiePalms do that]].

* YouGotSpunk: After Monica manages to pin him down in Episode 9, he gives her a flirty look and says "Meow, she's feisty!"

* AdaptationalCurves: Downplayed, as Yusuf in the comics is a bit overweight, while in the MCU he has a more average build.
