Disney+
The season one finale of Ms. Marvel hit Disney+ on Wednesday, and with it came a singular word that Marvel Cinematic Universe fans have been waiting to hear for a long, long time.
Warning: this article will contain spoilers for the season one finale of Ms. Marvel.
During one of the final scenes of the Ms. Marvel season one finale, Kamala Khan’s BFF Bruno says that there’s something different about her genes, calling it a “mutation.” This, of course, makes Ms. Marvel the first major Mutant superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and therefore the first true indication that the MCU is building towards the X-Men.
Naturally, given both the unexpected reveal of Khan’s origins and the first real hint towards Mutants in the MCU, fans of the franchise absolutely lost it on social media upon seeing the climactic scene.
