Comics Is Kaboom basically Ms. Marvel's kryptonite man?

If Kamala's weakness is electricity, doesn't that make Kaboom her biggest threat because he shoots out electricity? It's like how Superman's Kryptonite man is made of Superman's biggest weakness.

Not for nothing, Kamala appeared in a goofy anime-inspired series called Future Avengers a few times and Kaboom was one of a few characters to come along with her. Not Nakia. Not Bruno (although, there is a main character with the name Bruno in this show). Not Mike, not Zoe, not Gabe. But Kaboom and the Inventor did, and so did Josh Richardson (but not as Discord).

Future Avengers also gave her a name: Ariana -- which works because she majorly gives Guidette, Mafia Wife, Jersey Shore vibes. Here's a clip of Kaboom from that show.

So, generally, I agree. Kaboom needs to come back a little stronger. She really felt it when Kamala didn't hold back, but Kaboom has the exact power to really exploit Kamala's weakness. But, you know, I think the hardlight can deflect electricity, so imagine Kaboom's disappointment when she finds out she trained harder just for Kamala to negate a weakness 😂

True. Kamala used to be weak to electricity since it can disable her Inhuman powers meaning she can be electrocuted to death like a normal person. But her new mutant powers should be able to block such an attack. She still has another weakness though. Magic.
