MARVEL (2022) %X Ms. Marvel (2022) is a television miniseries about a Pakistani girl born in America who gains superpowers during the process of identity formation. The success or failure in constructing her identity could affect her life as a normal teenager and her path related to the superpower she has. This study aims to find the effect of superpowers on the formation of Kamala Khan's identity. To answer the objectives, this study uses the fifth stage of Erikson‘s psychosocial development, the theory of identity status by James Marcia, and film theory. This study uses a qualitative method. The results of this study are as follows: (1) Kamala Khan undergoes four identity statuses which mark her identity formation. Those are identity diffusion, identity foreclosure, identity moratorium, and identity achievement. (2) Kamala's superpowers trigger a better coping mechanism for her to overcome the identity diffusion and pushes her to accomplish exploration. Kamala also sees the superpowers as her responsibility based on Islamic values she gets from her parent. The emergence of superpowers indicates American superheroes and values (3) Social supports play role in Kamala‘s problem-solving related to the exploration of alternatives. %K Pembentukan Identitas, Status Identitas, Nilai-Nilai Islam Dan Amerika, Dukungan Sosial %D 2023 %I UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA %L digilib64775
