>>114141041By actually leaning in to that kinda sorta tagline they tried to make at the beginning of her big push. "The most powerful hero in the world.". But uh oh, the world's most powerful hero is a drunk, grouchy asshole who has vaguely crypto-fascist tendencies. Some of the best and most beloved characters are ones who are jerks with a heart of gold for whom the narrative doesn't try to downplay.
One stupidly easy way to do this is to have Kamala be a regular feature in the book, have her be Carol's moral compass. Carol, despite herself, respects Kamala and listens to her when she calls her on her shit, while said biggest fan is not blind to her idol's faults. Have Carol struggle with her darker impulses while she tries to do the right thing.
