In-unverserse description

It seems, to me, that this article is missing a lot of things about the character biography that other comic-book characters' articles include. How she got her powers, what they do, and her general history inside her fictional universe. These are things I love to find out on wikipedia. Could anybody help add some of this to the article? Thank you in advance.

First Appearance

Article states that her first appearance is in Captain Marvel #17, which is widely accepted as true. However, there is a growing body of evidence that Khan has appeared previously. The author explicitly stated on her personal blog that Khan has appeared prior to #17 (see: http://kellysue.tumblr.com/post/66156771998/make-sure-you-pick-up-captain-marvel-17-tomorrow-for), and other bloggers believe that they have spotted Khan in Captain Marvel #14 (for example: http://muslim-ms-marvel.tumblr.com/post/66189003046/apparently-kamala-is-in-enemy-within).

The author's own statements prove that #17 isn't technically Khan's very first appearance. I am not sure if the other evidence is enough to definitively state that #14 is Khan's first appearance, but this is worth looking into for accuracy. 184.20.61.21 (talk) 09:41, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updated: I'm not much of a wiki editor and I'm afraid I'll mess the page up somehow, but it has now been confirmed by the Captain Marvel author that Ms. Khan appears in Captain Marvel #14. (http://dcwomenkickingass.tumblr.com/post/67178265759/the-real-first-appearance-of-the-new-ms-marvel-in This article at this link also links to an interview wherein the author confirms; the relevant podcast on that site is dated Nov. 18 2013). If anyone is a more experienced wiki editor than I am and wants to tackle this, I think it is now pretty much official that #14 is the true first appearance. 184.20.61.21 (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
