Until Episode 3 of Ms. Marvel, the show had been a happy-go-lucky story of a teenage girl who gets hold of immense superpowers. Kamala got her abilities by chance while opening the box sent by her grandmother, and ever since then has been using her abilities to save others and become just like her idols, The Avengers. But a superhero's path to reach great heights has never been easy, has it?
As expected, the villains of the series have arrived, and their leader is none other than Kamran's mother, Najma. After Kamala visits Kamran's home to pay a visit to her mother, Najma tells her the complete history behind the bangle. Upon being asked about her true identity, Najma refers to herself and her mates as the Djinn. Well, these so-called Djinn exist in the Marvel comics, and there's a lot more to them than told in the show.
Despite being truly powerful, the Djinn are sometimes known to serve under their master's command. It is unclear how the Djinn came to existence, but they are mostly believed to be beings from other planets or realms. On the other hand, some believe that Lilith, also known as the Vampire Goddess, gave birth to them.
Different Djinn has different mystical powers, and some are stronger than others. Where some of them live freely and do as they see fit, others are bound to objects like books and lamps. The person who summons the Djinn is granted a wish. In the Marvel comics, the Djinn don't seem to have any enemies in particular, but they sometimes feel peeved at the humans for their short-sightedness.
Magic is the main power of the Djinn but, as told before, they all have different types of magical powers. Immortality is one of their great strengths, while their biggest known weakness is the inability to bear low temperature as it changes their body type. That's the reason why all the ancient Djinn races perished.
