Movies and TV shows are not just about entertainment and fun. They have an everlasting impact on the minds of the viewers. From breaking the long-going stereotype about a particular community to giving cultural knowledge to the people, the diversification in movies and TV shows can act as an eye-opener. Marvel and DC universe is the epitome of diversification we are talking about. From Norse gods like Thor, Egyptian superheroes like Moon Knight, and Greek saviors like Wonder Woman, the list of heroes with different origins is a long one in DC and Marvel.

The new Marvel TV show, Ms. Marvel, started just recently on Disney Plus. It's about a Pakistani-American girl, Kamala Khan, who gains superpowers after wearing a mysterious bangle given by her grandmother. After seeing the amazing powers of the new Muslim superhero, people wonder if there are other superheroes in Marvel and DC universe that belong to the Muslim community. Well, the list is a long one.
