Have You Met Dust?
January 23, 2008
Dust (real name Sooraya Qadir) is an adolescent Sunni Muslim girl who possesses the mutant power to turn herself into a sand-like substance. Born in Afghanistan, Sooraya is kidnapped by a slave-trading ring after she is separated from her mother. While one of her slavers tries to remove her niqāb, she instinctively lashes out with her powers and flays them all alive with her dust form before passing out. She is subsequently discovered and rescued by Wolverine and Fantomex.
Yep, you read that right: she’s a Marvel character! You can read more about her here. This news is courtesy of my Marvel-fanatic friend :]

I am from Afghanistan and this is a false story. does not fit of what happens in Afghnaistan. First of all women in Afghanistan do’n't wear niqab or whatever you call it. they wear chadari. learn about chardri here http://www.Chadari.com
