So Ms. Marvel's bio says that she was hit with a Kree psyche magnitron, causing her DNA to resemble that of a Kree... But the Kree by nature do not have the powers Ms. Marvel has. So what's the deal? is there some other factor in her origin?

Her powers remind me of Captain Marvel, maybe thats what it meant.

My theory is, based on what I've read, is that because Carol is half human, she likely possesses the X-gene. The Kree magnitron's immediate effect was to turn thoughts into reality, and because of her dream of flying, that dream gave her the ability to fly. The other powers, like energy manipulation came about after she was abducted by the Kree, after she lost her powers to Rogue. Then comes the Binary part of her story.

It's been a very VERY long time since I read it, but I believe she was hit by some sort of laser that also hit Captain Marvel.  She was originally human, but absorbed some of his Kree DNA.  

She was just a female spin-off from a male character, but after a while she actually over took him in popularity... probably helped by the fact that she was in Rogue's body for a long time, while Captain Marvel was... well, dead.

Wow, I never realized there was a Captain Mavel for both Universes, Marvel and DC.   
 
Anyway, supposedly she was in the explosion from a Kree device and got superhuman abilities due to it.  But origins change when the try to reinvent characters...

From my knowledge and this thread's answers, I'd say mutate. Wasn't she zapped when she was an adult? The mutant gene usually kicks in around puberty, so I am doubting she is one.

@cracks:
She was experimented on by the Kree and later the Brood, they altered the structure of her DNA. As such her powers are artificial.
Mutants are born with the X-Gene and don't usually require an outside stimulus for their powers to emerge. In this way you could describe them as naturally having their powers.
