Shows that feel likeMs. Marvel (2022)

A great student, avid gamer, and voracious fan-fic scribe, Kamala Khan has a special affinity for superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel. However, she struggles to fit in at home and at school — that is, until she gets superpowers like the heroes she’s always looked up to. Life is easier with superpowers, right?

If you loved Ms. Marvel, the closest series we have are Marvel's Runaways (2017), Hawkeye (2021) and The Gifted (2017). All three share Ms. Marvel's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Marvel's The Defenders (2017).
