Ms. Marvel has been a hot topic of conversation on the internet since its release on June 8. The show targets a younger audience, but its tasteful comedy and charismatic characters make it appealing to older audiences as well.
Since the very first episode, fans have been wondering about the magical bangle that gives Kamala her powers. The recent Ms. Marvel episode finally revealed that the secret behind the bangle and the powers that she gets from it are associated with her great-grandmother, Ayesha. The introduction of the character into the plot will definitely open up further avenues for exploration, and we cannot wait for that to happen.
What do we know about Kamala Khan's great-grandmother Ayesha in Ms. Marvel?

The comics does not mention Kamala's great-grandmother in a detailed fashion. However, in the recent episode, we found out that she magically disappeared during the India-Pakistan partition. It is also notable that Kamala's father secretly told the story, as her mother doesn't like to talk about it.
The reason behind Ayesha's disappearance is still largely unknown with regard to the show. However, in the latter part of the recent episode, we find that Ayesha has made quite a reputation for herself amidst her native crowd.
When Kamala tries to talk to the gossipy aunties, Illumi-Aunties as she calls them, at her mosque, she finds out a few fascinating speculations regarding her great-grandmother. One of them even implied that she may have killed someone and had an affair, according to hearsay. The aunties heavily emphasized the fact that Ayesha brought shame to Muneeba's (Kamala's mother) family.
It is evident that Ayesha had cosmic connections and is hence the reason behind Kamala's new superhero identity. The bangle that gave Kamala powers also belonged to Ayesha, as mentioned in Ms. Marvel's first episode.
An interesting detail in the recent episode also brings to light some new information on the bangle. It is revealed that the bangle doesn't provide Kamala with superpowers. Instead, her superpowers reside within herself and the bangle just helps in bringing them out. In the comics, when Kamala was exposed to Terrigen mist in Attilan while the Avengers were fighting Ultron, she was able to unlock her powers through it, which makes us wonder if her bangle is made of Terrigen.
Another fun fact to note is that if Kamala is biologically a super-powered human being, it is possible for her to have a story akin to the Star-Lord. It is likely that her great-grandmother Ayesha may not have been human, which would explain her strange reputation within the rest of the community.
Fans will be excited to learn more about Ayesha as the finale of Ms. Marvel comes closer. Every episode of the show brings more drama and MCU fans are excited because there is so much more to come. With the impressive ending of the recent episode, it is not surprising that we all want to consume this delightful South-Asian exposition all at once.
