Ms. Marvel has just opened the doors of the MCU to a cult supergroup of marvelite mythology: who are those characters from the last episode of the Disney + series

I have to confess that the first two chapters of ‘Ms. Marvel‘ was very, very uphill for me. The new Marvel series for Disney + sinned again by extending its first act too much and dosing the presentation of its characters with a dropper, but, luckily, episode 3 has finally made Kamala Khan‘s cathodic adventure take off, also bringing some What another surprise under the arm.

During a fragment of the chapter, Najma informs Kamala that she and her companions are djinns, beings conceived in pre-Islamic mythology and later adopted by Islam and Middle Eastern folklore, who is part of a group among whose names the “Clandestinos” stands out.

This nickname invites you to automatically think of the ClanDestine —also known as Destines—; a family of immortal creatures that debuted in comics in 1994 at the hands of Davis and whose own series lasted for twelve issues before its cancellation. However, later, the same author recovered them in several self-contained miniseries and stories.
