After moving from Houston to Jersey City, Kamran is reintroduced to Kamala Khan whose parents are friends with his, and the two quickly bond over their shared interests. After witnessing Kamala change into her alter ego, Ms. Marvel, Kamran reveals his secret to her, which makes her smitten with him. Kamran offers Kamala a ride to school, but instead of taking her to school, he kidnaps her and takes her to his boss, the Inhuman crime boss Lineage who hopes to recruit Ms. Marvel into his gang. Ms. Marvel fights off Kamran and Lineage and escape from them. Desperate to prove himself to Lineage, Kamran kidnaps Kamala's brother Aamir and exposes him to stolen Terrigen Mists, which awaken his Inhuman ability to create psychic shields.
Sometime later, Kamran approaches Ms. Marvel, apologizing for his actions, and attempts to reconcile with her. They are interrupted by Shang-Chi, who reveals that Kamran had stolen the mystical Eyes of the Dragon from the Five Weapons Society and was planning on using them to steal Ms. Marvel's life force to empower Lineage. Ms. Marvel, Shang-Chi, and the Five Weapons Society apprehend Kamran and recover the Eyes.
Kamran and Lineage capture Ms. Marvel while she is on a field trip in New Orleans and use her as bait to lure Photon, but the two villains are defeated by the heroines and taken to the authorities.
Kamran's body emits brilliant blue-white energy. Using the energy stored within his body, Kamran can channel that energy by expelling it as a discharge or transferring the energy into an object causing it to glow and then explode.

Karn

Karn is a member of the Inheritors from the Spider-Verse storyline who wanders the Multiverse to slay Spider Totems. He first appeared in The Superior Spider-Man #32, and was created by Dan Slott, Christos N. Gage, and Giuseppe Camuncoli.
During the hunt against Master Weaver, he hesitates to deliver the finishing blow, leading to the death of his mother. As a result, he is condemned to wear a mask by his father Solus, and exiled to hunt Spider Totems to earn his place back in the family.
The time-displaced Superior Spider-Man later discovered Karn. Assembling an army of Spider-Men, the Superior Spider-Man and his team ambushed Karn while hunting the Spider-Man of Earth-2818, but despite Karn continuing to gain the upper hand, the Spider-Men only escaped when two of Karn's estranged siblings showed up and began fighting. Karn later joins the Spider-Men in their fight against the Inheritors.
Karn realizes that Master Weaver is his future self. He establishes a new team of multiversal spider-heroes called the Warriors of the Great Web, consisting of Mayday Parker, Spider-Ham, Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Man India, and Spider-Gwen.
During the "Electroverse saga", an alliance of counterparts of Max Dillon invades Loomworld, damaging the great web while forcing the Web-Warriors to retreat to Earth-803. Karn and an alternate version of Doctor Octopus managed to fix the Web, but tangle it at the same time, causing the Web Warriors to become split between realities. Karn's reconnection of Earth-803 into the web also causes an earthquake, freeing the Electros caught by the Web-Warriors.
During the Dead No More: The Clone Conspiracy storyline, Karn welcomes Kaine Parker, but soon realizes that he no longer has the powers of the Other and is now dying from a Carrion virus, and cannot go back to his Earth lest someone catch it. Karn shows Kaine many realities with zombie apocalypses caused by this disease, and Kaine decides to visit these realities to find a way to stop it. Kaine tries to keep himself hidden from the Web Warriors while researching, but is caught by Spider-Gwen.
During the "Spider-Geddon" storyline, Karn is killed by Verna.

Powers and abilities of Karn

Like the rest of the Inheritors, Karn can drain life force through physical contact. Depending on the power of the individual he drains, his powers and vitality can increase substantially. He also has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, and durability. He has a staff that emits a unique energy signature capable of vaporizing people.
As the Master Weaver, Karn threads the Web of Life and Destiny, gaining dominion over various realities. He can open portals at his command or alter realities.
