(CNN) Like anything Marvel produces, its newest superhero is shrouded in mystery. Not much is known about his powers or his background, except that he hails from Dearborn, Michigan, is considered a "gentle giant" and wears an amulet around his neck -- a nod to his Arab-American heritage. Fadi Fadlalah, aka the superhero Amulet, will appear in a new Ms. Marvel comic alongside Kamala Khan, a Pakistani American teen. "We tend to associate sharp corners and edges with evil, and rounded designs and circles with good," she said in a statement to Marvel. "This character is a gentle giant, so I wanted to make sure that even with his size he was shaped like a friend."
