Gitanjali has been on a quest to learn her whole young life. When she discovered there were people abroad, and in America, who were living without clean water, she was determined to put her curious mind towards finding a solution.

Now, Marvel turns her into a true Super Hero, in her very own comic book. There are more surprises for Gitanjali as she learns she's about to become a member of Marvel's Hero Project.
