Kahhori Is Finally Joining Marvel Comics Canon
The Mohawk hero will leave her home to save Sky World
Kahhori’s episode ofWhat If…?was met with critical acclaim, not just because the story, writing, and art were beautiful, but also because writer Ryan Little and other creators of the episode met with real life Mohawk historians, linguists, and cultural experts. The brilliant adventure saw Kahhori fall through the Forbidden Lake - gaining vast superhuman abilities thanks to the Space Stone within the Tesseract - transporting her to the mythical Sky World. Thethoughtful episode dealt with the horrors of colonization, the power of culture, and legacy, before Kahhori joined the rest of the Multiversal heroes to battle a demonic Doctor Strange.
The episode was created in close collaboration with members of the Mohawk Nation like historian Doug George and Mohawk language expert Cecelia King to ensure cultural authenticity. The episode takes place in the Mohawk language and is informed by the history of the Akwesasne region in what is now upstate New York.
The upcoming one-shotKahhori: Reshaper of Worldswill finally see the epic Native American hero enter into Marvel Comics canon, and Marvel’s announcement makes it seem like the Kahhori in thisMarvel Voicesspecial will be the same variant seen inWhat If…?As a dangerous new villain threatens her precious Sky World,Kahhori will be forced to use her Tesseract abilities to travel to Earth-616, where she will land in Hell’s Kitchen. Kahhori already has a lot of experience traveling to different worlds from her adventures inWhat If…?but the busy, violent streets of Daredevil’s home turf is sure to be overwhelming. Using her incredible smarts, bold spirit, and fantastic abilities, Kahhori will need to move past her culture shock to stop the growing threat, saving both Earth-616 and Sky World.
