[NEW VERSHION] wakanda forever rpg

princess Suri/ new black panther: Shuri is a highly intelligent and calculating individual, constantly making improvements to Wakanda's technology, particularly the rare metal alloy, Vibranium, as she believes that even if something has already been improved, does not mean that it doesn't need to be further improved. Shuri is a fan of American culture, as evidenced by the fact that she dresses in American style clothing, such as brand t-shirts, jeans and shorts in high contrast to the traditional or high-class clothes of other Wakandans. Shuri's inventions are hinted to have be directly inspired by the films that she would watch with her father, the late T'Chaka. Shuri has a very child-like demeanor, always teasing her brother, T'Challa, and never having several regards to formality. But she does love her family a lot and does become very concerned about their safety, particularly her brother's. Shuri had a good relationship with her father to the point that she was completely blinded to his true colours, when N'Jadaka arrived in Wakanda and revealed that he was her long lost cousin, as well as the fact that T'Chaka had killed his own brother, N'Jobu, in cold blood, but she did not believe him, until W'Kabi presented one of the Wakandan royal rings that was in N'Jadaka's possession; not only proving that what he had stated, regarding him being a member of the royal Wakandan bloodline, but also what he stated, regarding her father's true colours was also true. Shuri was completely devastated to learn that her father was not the benevolent, honorable and moral individual that she believed him to be, as well as the fact that he could kill someone in cold blood, regardless whether or not they were his enemies or members of his own bloodline. It is very likely that, Shuri has completely lost any love, respect and trust that, she once had for her father, T'Chaka, after realizing what kind of individual he truly was. Shuri is sometimes sarcastic to the point of being rude, for example, when Everett Ross asked Shuri "what must I do with the Wakandan planes that I have found", she sarcastically stated, "shoot them down, genius". Shuri is extremely arrogant and overconfident meaning that she underestimates her opponents. For example, after N'Jadaka challenged T'Challa for both the throne of Wakanda and the mantle of Black Panther, she arrogantly believed N'Jadaka couldn't win, completely disregarding her cousin's reputation as both a navy seal and black ops mercenary, and thus became horrified when N'Jadaka gained the upper hand over T'Challa and defeated him in ritual combat. Despite this, Shuri does not truly learn from her mistakes, for example, even after she had witnessed how deadly N'Jadaka was as a combatant, she still underestimated him almost costing Shuri her life, when she got into a direct confrontation against her cousin, only surviving due to T'Challa's intervention. powers: After having consumed the Synthetic Heart-Shaped Herb, Shuri gained several superhuman attributes all of which are comparable to that of a super soldier.

She stood by her son's side when he became King of Wakanda, but was soon forced into exile when Erik Killmonger defeated T'Challa in ritual combat and took over the throne. Ramonda fled with Shuri, Nakia and Everett Ross to Jabariland. There, she was reunited with her son T'Challa, who she saved thanks to the powers of the Heart-Shaped Herb. Ramonda remained in Jabariland while T'Challa and his allies left to fight Killmonger, only to return in Birnin Zana following T'Challa's victory.After the Battle of Wakanda, she became queen regnant of Wakanda after both T'Challa and Shuri were killed in the Snap. Although they were resurrected after the Blip, Ramonda would assume the position of queen once again after T'Challa passed away of an unexpected disease. With geopolitical relationships growing strenuous over Wakanda's private reserves of Vibranium, Ramonda was confronted by Namor, who threatened war against Wakanda unless they could locate the scientist responsible for creating the underwater Vibranium Detector that threatened their livelihood. When Nakia rescued Shuri and Riri Williams from Talokan, it ignited the Talokanil-Wakandan War, where Ramonda was killed during Namor's attack.Ramonda was born to Lumumba in the River Tribe. Her marriage to King T'Chaka allowed her to became the Queen of Wakanda. The couple eventually had a son whom they named T'Challa, and later on a daughter named Shuri. She and her husband would always talk about the day when their son would finally be crowned king.[6] Ramonda raised her children to love and believe in their country, its people, and its legacy.[7]Ramonda welcomed her son T'Challa when he returned to Wakanda for his impending coronation after having rescued Nakia from a group of terrorists in Nigeria. Ramonda was then greeted by Nakia, who expressed her condolences for T'Chaka who was unintentionally killed by Helmut Zemo.After thanking Nakia for her condolence, she remained silently smiling as Shuri mocked her brother and reprimanded Shuri for her obscene gesture towards T'Challa. As her son asked her how she was, Ramonda replied that she and T'Chaka always talked about this day and that she felt pride at the idea that his son would become King of Wakanda and that T'Chaka's spirit was with them.[6]Ramonda later took part in the incoronation ceremony, dancing with Shuri on the Golden Tribe boat before attending the rest of the ceremony. Like everyone else, Ramonda expressed shock when Shuri raised her hands as Zuri asked whether a member of the royal family intended to challenge T'Challa, only to be annoyed by her daughter's insolence when she expressed that she wanted to be over with the ceremony so she could change clothesWhile all other tribes declined the challenge, Ramonda then watched as the Jabari Tribe surprisingly joined the ceremony, with its leader M'Baku challenging T'Challa for the throne. During the duel, Ramonda strongly encouraged her son, telling him to show M'Baku who he was when T'Challa was briefly stunned by M'Baku. T'Challa eventually won the duel much to Ramonda's happiness. Following the coronation, Ramonda attended a Royal Council during which she remained mostly silent as T'Challa decided to chase down Ulysses Klaue in South Korea and bring him back to Wakanda.[6]Although the mission to capture Ulysses Klaue ended up in a failure, Erik Killmonger, Klaue's killer soon arrived in Wakanda with Klaue's body in an attempt to gain trust of the Wakandans, who firmly wanted Klaue to face justice and punishment for his various crimes including the Attack on Wakanda. Killmonger was apprehended by the Border Tribe and was brought before the Tribal Council.As Killmonger entered the room, the Tribal Council allowed him permission to speak. He requested the throne for himself and intended to spread Vibranium all over the world, prompting Ramonda to call him a fraud and to ask T'Challa to send him away. He then explained that Wakanda had the resources to liberate people of African descent all across the world. When Ramonda asked about his true identity, Shuri called revealed his identity to the tribal council as well his history as an American mercenary.Instead, he rejected that name and claimed to be N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu who had been killed by T'Chaka, Ramonda's late husband. Ramonda called him a liar but was soon forced to accept this as the truth as W'Kabi handed her over a Wakandan Royal Ring that N'Jadaka possessed. When Killmonger reminded the Tribal Council that, while T'Challa himself could not apprehend Klaue and bring him to justice for his crimes, he could. Before Killmonger was escorted from the room, T'Challa accepted his challenge for the throne, much to Ramonda's dismay and horror.[6]Ramonda attended this new duel next to her daughter Shuri, although she did not share her daughter's confidence that T'Challa would prevail. Ramonda watched in anguish as Erik Killmonger progressively gained the upper hand, eventually stabbing T'Challa in the stomach. However, the fight did not stop there as Zuri tried to intervene, which caused his own death at the hands of Killmonger. Finally, Ramonda screamed in horror and grief as Killmonger threw T'Challa down a waterfall, seemingly killing him. As they were in danger with Killmonger as King of Wakanda, Nakia rushed at Ramonda and Shuri and took them away, forcing them to leave Birnin Zana.[6]Ramonda waited in despair with Shuri while Nakia left to find Everett Ross, a CIA Agent who had been rescued by T'Challa and who had to go into exile as well. When Nakia returned, she informed them that Okoye would not join them. Ramonda, Shuri, Nakia and Ross then made their way to Jabariland, where they planned to give the last Heart-Shaped Herb to M'Baku so he could dethrone Erik Killmonger. However, Ramonda questioned this plan, fearing that they could create a monster worse than Killmonger. Ramonda suggested that Nakia should take the Herb, but she replied that she was only a spy without an army. The group was soon found by Jabari warriors who took them to M'Baku. Ramonda explained to M'Baku that T'Challa had been murdered, although M'Baku suggested that he had been defeated within the rules of a ritual combat. Ramonda then remained silent as Nakia offered the Heart-Shaped Herb to M'Baku. However, he did not take it and instead instructed Ramonda and the others to follow him. Thus, Ramonda learned that her son was still alive albeit in a coma.Ramonda requested the Heart-Shaped Herb from Nakia and mashed it into a liquid extract she gave to T'Challa, enabling him to restore the powers of the Black Panther and be revived, much to Ramonda's joy. They all gathered in M'Baku's throne room once again and T'Challa expressed his wish to have Ramonda and Shuri leave Wakanda for their own safety. However, Ramonda refused to leave her country. Eventually, M'Baku agreed to provide shelter to Ramonda in Jabariland while T'Challa left with Ross, Shuri and Nakia to fight Killmonger.[6]Following T'Challa's victory over Erik Killmonger, Ramonda could safely remain to Birnin Zana to sit in the Tribal Council. As such, she was present when T'Challa returned into the Citadel's throne room as the rightful King of Wakanda.[6]In 2018, Ramonda survived the Snap. However, she lost her son and daughter, much to her grief. She then took on the role of leading Wakanda, while grieving her children. She did this for the next five years and worked with world governments.[5] Sometime later, she found out that T'Challa and Nakia had a son and came to meet him, keeping his existence a secret to honor her son's wishes.[2]In 2023, as a result of the Blip, Ramonda was reunited with her son and daughter. They reunited together at the Citadel in Birnin Zana and watched as a celebration took place in the city.[9In 2024, Ramonda's son, T'Challa, had fallen terminally ill from a disease. While her daughter worked on recreating the Heart-Shaped Herb to cure him, Ramonda stayed by his side. Despite Shuri's best efforts, Ramonda was next to T'Challa as he passed away. Shuri hastily rushed to bring a completed recreation of the herb to her brother, though Ramonda, who had entered the lab, despairingly confirmed his passing. Ramonda then took his place as the queen of Wakanda.Ramonda and Shuri then took part in T'Challa's funeral. Ramonda, alongside her daughter, Sope, the elders, M'Baku, and Okoye and the Dora Milaje, all saluted her son and proceeded through with the coffin. She stood in front as they prepared for a Royal Talon Fighter to beam up the coffin. But before it could, Shuri put her face against the coffin and wept, as Ramonda comforted her. She and Shuri then stepped back and watched as the coffin ascended into the air.[2]One year following T'Challa's death, Ramonda found out about mercenaries trying to steal Vibranium. Luckily, they were stopped by the Dora Milaje. The next day, Ramonda attended a United Nations meeting. The leaders believed she was not honoring the agreement set by T'Challa about sharing the Vibranium. However, Ramonda said that they never agreed to it.She then talked about how everyone believed Wakanda was vulnerable from losing their king and protector. Though Ramonda disproved this notion as she had the Dora arrive with the apprehended mercenaries, sending a message to the UN not to do anything.[2]Ramonda arrived home and met Shuri up in her lab. Greeted by Griot, Ramonda stated her distrust of Shuri's AI, thinking it would destroy them. Though Shuri claimed that that only happened in movies. Ramonda then told Shuri to stop working and asked her what day it was. Shuri refused to answer the question seriously and Ramonda told her it was a year since T'Challa's deathRamonda brought Shuri out to the coast of the river and lit a fire. She wanted Shuri to burn her ceremonial garment as a sign of moving on, claiming it helped her with the death of T'Challa. However, Shuri refused to let go, still thinking it was her fault. Suddenly, a man came out of the water. He introduced himself as the K'uk'ulkan or Namor. He claimed to be from a secret underwater nation called Talokan. He also stated they had Vibranium, which Ramonda refused to believe until Shuri pointed out that he was covered in it.Namor said that T'Challa's actions of exposing Vibranium had destabilized Talokan. He wanted Wakanda's help as they had a part in his problems. Ramonda claimed it was not their problem, but Namor begged to differ. He talked about a scientist who made a Vibranium Detector. He wanted Wakanda to bring her to him, or he would rage war on Wakanda.Ramonda called a meeting with the elders to discuss what to do. M'Baku also arrived and traded insults with Okoye before being told to stop and sit down by Ramonda. M'Baku wanted to just simply kill Namor, but others believed it would cause a war. The Merchant Tribe Elder especially believed this, saying without the Black Panther, they were dangerous.[2Back in Shuri's lab, Ramonda's daughter ripped apart the Vibranium Detector, fascinated about what was inside. Okoye brought Ramonda off to the side and asked for Shuri to come to Cambridge with her to find the scientist. Ramonda was reluctant, but Okoye convinced her, saying it was a good way to get Shuri out of her lab.When Okoye returned, she reported that Shuri was captured by the Talokanil, and that she wanted to retrieve her immediately. Ramonda sat quietly before disappointingly telling Okoye she would be stripped of her rank as well as position as Dora Milaje. An already saddened Okoye broke down in tears, begging Ramonda that she let her die for her country. M'Kathu spoke up for Okoye, saying she had put a spear up to her own husband for Wakanda.Ramonda reminded him that Okoye had the liberty of visiting him whenever she wished, but that her own husband was gone for good. Speaking up to near yelling, Ramonda emotionally exclaimed that she was queen of the most powerful nation in the world and that her entire family was gone, that she had truly given everything. Ramonda then reminded Okoye that she had forgiven her for standing by Erik Killmonger when he took the throne, and that she was done giving her a second chance after she lost her daughter.[2]Ramonda went to Shuri's lab and asked Griot to bring up Shuri's Kimoyo Beads. On the other end was Everett Ross. The two talked and Ross said he picked them up at the site. Ramonda told Ross that Shuri and Riri Williams were with the enemy. Ross was worried that his superiors knew Ross betrayed them, but asked who the enemy was. Ramonda said that all she could reveal was that it was a new threat. Before hanging up, Ross told her he would do anything to help. Ramonda then asked Griot to locate Shuri's earrings. They were lost around Yucatán, but he did hear the enemies speak Yucatec Mayan.Ramonda traveled to Haiti to see Nakia. Along the way, Ramonda met her secret grandson, Toussaint, who helped her find Nakia. Ramonda mentioned to Nakia her absence at T'Challa's funeral, and that she expected her to at least come for the ceremony after having left Wakanda. Nakia explained to her that she was afraid of returning, though Ramonda reminded her that she would always be Wakandan no matter what. Ramonda then explained that Shuri had been taken hostage and that she needed Nakia to rescue her.To give Nakia enough time while she infiltrated Talokan to rescue Shuri, Ramonda met with Namor on the beach. Namor claimed that Shuri wanted to be taken, but Ramonda asked what she could trade for. Namor told her nothing, so Ramonda gave him an ultimatum of her own. She said she would tell the Americans about the Talokanil if he did not return Shuri and Riri Williams. Namor then said that if she told the Americans, he would kill both herself and Shuri.Ramonda then got into the Royal Talon Fighter and was able to locate Nakia, Shuri, and Williams in the sea. She beamed them up and consoled Shuri, hugging her as she knew her daughter was safe. She asked if they hurt her, but Shuri said they did not. Ramonda then thanked Nakia before telling Griot to return them to Wakanda right away.[2]Ramonda and the others returned to Wakanda, when they were attacked by the Talokanil. Ramonda called Shuri and told her to stand down, though Shuri explained that she and Aneka could provide air support with the Sunbird. Ramonda told Aneka to not let her leave her lab, though Shuri hung up on her before she could stop them. Ramonda then instructed Ayo and the Dora Milaje to cover their ears from the Talokanil's hypnosis, and she and Riri Williams then helped send Scarab Beetles to aid the Wakandan citizens from the Citadel.Namor then approached the two of them, and charged at Ramonda with a spear, but she did not flinch as the spear made contact with the glass. Namor then threw Hydrobombs in their direction, and the pressure from the water broke through the glass floors and submerged an unconscious Ramonda and Williams.While underwater, Ramonda soon regained consciousness and saw that Williams was sinking. Ramonda swam down to her and carried her up to the surface, but in doing so, sacrificed her own life, drowning in the process. Ramonda was then found by Okoye and Nakia. Okoye tried her best to restart Ramonda's heart, but was unsuccessful. Nakia then tried to access her Kimoyo Beads but also to no avail. Shuri then ran in and saw the event unfold, crying as Aneka and M'Baku held her back. Nakia and Okoye were ultimately too late, as Ramonda had already passed.[2]Weapons Circular Vibranium Blades: When she was forced into exile, and while waiting for Nakia to join them, Ramonda kept Circular Vibranium Blades with her to be able to defend herself and Shuri should they be attacked. Other Equipment Kimoyo Beads: Like many Wakandans, Ramonda possessed Kimoyo Beads she carried as a bracelet and which could serve many purposes. Facilities Citadel: The Citadel is the palace of the Golden Tribe and the rulers of Wakanda. They notably held Tribal Council meetings in the Citadel's throne room. Ramonda was present when her son T'Challa held a Tribal Council meeting during which Okoye announced that they had discovered Ulysses Klaue had resurfaced, when Erik Killmonger came to claim the throne of Wakanda and challenged T'Challa in the throne room, leading to him being incoronated, and when T'Challa and his family reclaimed their place in the Citadel once Killmonger had been stopped and dethroned.Relationships Family Lumumba - Mother Golden Tribe Bashenga † - Ancestor-in-Law Ancestor-in-Law[12] † Andile[13] † - Great Great Great-Grandfather-in-Law Bazwale † - Great Great-Grandfather-in-Law Yima † - Great-Grandfather-in-Law Kabba † - Grandfather-in-Law Azzuri † - Father-in-Law T'Chaka † - Husband N'Jobu † - Brother-in-Law T'Challa/Black Panther † - Son Shuri/Black Panther - Daughter N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Nephew-by-Marriage T'Challa II - Grandson Co-Sister-in-Law † Allies Dora Milaje Okoye Ayo Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Aneka Jemini Zuri † Nakia Wakandan Royal Guard Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari M'Baku - Former Enemy Mining Tribe Elder CIA Everett Ross Assata Griot Riri Williams/Ironheart Enemies Ulysses Klaue † W'Kabi - Former Ally U.S. State Secretary - Situational Enemy Talokanil Okoye: Okoye is the former General of the Dora Milaje and the head of Wakandan armed forces and intel. Witnessing T'Challa's coronation, she joined him in tracking down Ulysses Klaue. When Erik Killmonger overthrew T'Challa, Okoye found herself conflicted between her friendship with T'Challa or her duty to her new king. T'Challa soon returned and Okoye soon joined him in the fight against Killmonger and successfully taking back the throne. When Thanos and his forces arrived on Earth to forcefully take the Mind Stone from Vision, Okoye soon was forced to defend Wakanda alongside her king and the Avengers. Although they succeeded in killing Thanos' forces when Thanos himself came on Wakanda, Okoye and the other heroes were completely overpowered and unable to stop him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet, though Okoye remained one of the survivors. In the wake of the Snap, Okoye joined the Avengers, serving under the command of Natasha Romanoff whilst simultaneously leading the Dora Milaje in Wakanda. In 2023, when the Blip resurrected all the lives claimed by the Snap, she joined T'Challa and the Wakandans to provide aid for the Avengers during the Battle of Earth, killing Corvus Glaive. Following the aftermath of the battle, with the Avengers now defunct, she returned to Wakanda and resumed serving T'Challa. With the death of T'Challa and a looming threat of Namor, the duty to protect Wakanda and vibranium fell on Okoye's shoulders again. Together with Shuri, Okoye attempted to protect Riri Williams from the Talokanil; however, Shuri ended up being captured. For recklessly putting the Princess in danger, Okoye was stripped from her rank as the Dora Milaje General by Ramonda. Seeking a way to redeem herself, Okoye continued to fight during the Talokanil-Wakandan War, which claimed Ramonda's life. Using the armors, created by Shuri, Okoye and Aneka became Midnight Angels and fought against the Talokanil during a final battle, as well as rescued Everett Ross from being arrested for helping Wakanda. In 2008, on orders of T'Chaka, Okoye was sent with T'Challa when he went to save Wakandan hostages from Zanda and Douglas Scott, to report back on T'Challa's progress as the Black Panther. Saving the hostages while Black Panther distracted the mercenaries, Okoye ended up confronted by Scott. Once the hostages escaped, and the police stormed the building, the mercenaries fled, and Black Panther made Okoye return to their aircraft to follow them. Following them to a yacht, Black Panther and Okoye took out the mercenaries and confronted Zanda and Scott. Okoye fought Scott again but was almost killed by a surprise attack, spared only when Black Panther dropped a metal bar on Scott's hands[6]. Upon returning to Wakanda, Okoye told T'Chaka how T'Challa proved himself in the field, though left out how she assisted him in her report, despite T'Chaka deducing her part in the rescue mission.[7] In 2016, a week after the death of the king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, T'Challa decided to retrieve Nakia from her current War Dogs mission as he wished for her to be present during his coronation. As a pilot for her king, Okoye and T'Challa flew a Royal Talon Fighter to Nigeria where Nakia was located.As T'Challa prepared for his mission by using one of the tablets to look at where Nakia and the missing Chibok girls are located, Okoye informed him where they're heading near the border of Wakanda. Getting up from her chair, Okoye was about to equip a Vibranium Spear by her side but was told by her king that he could handle the mission on his own, much to her surprise. Okoye then puts her Vibranium Spear aside and listened to T'Challa's word on getting Nakia out of the forest.Understanding her orders, Okoye gave Kimoyo Beads to T'Challa for the mission and told him to not freeze when Nakia arrives, as he countered that he never freezes in a confrontation. As T'Challa put on his helmet and dropped down the airship, Okoye observed her king from afar as the traffickers noticed the trucks were hit by an EMP. T'Challa ambushed the gunmen before he encountered a child soldier just until Nakia then arrived to save himAs T'Challa and Nakia had a brief talk with each other, a surviving gunman tried to force them to surrender by threatening a hostage, only for Okoye to swiftly disarm and then run him through with her Vibranium Spear, saving T'Challa from a tough situation and ending the skirmish. Okoye teased T'Challa for his lack of focus and looked over the woman being held hostage. While Okoye rescues the women, T'Challa told of his father's death and invited her to the coronation.Once Nakia agreed on T'Challa for participating in the coronation, she went over the women who are gathered and told them to go home and take the boy to his people. As Nakia left the group alone, Okoye confronted the women and told them not to speak about what happened that night, as they agreed on her terms. Okoye smiled at the women and left with bitter hope of returning home. Okoye piloted the Royal Talon Fighter with T'Challa and Nakia on board.[8]Upon on the horizon, Okoye and T'Challa succeeded in their mission and headed on home to Wakanda with Nakia. As the sun rises from above, T'Challa was comforted by Nakia, as they were deeply saddened by the former king T'Chaka's death. While T'Challa and Nakia had converse, Okoye piloted the Royal Talon Fighter until they reached their destination.While heading near the mountains of her home, Okoye reached her destination and announced T'Challa their arrival as they flew by cloudy ruins of the mountains and pass the Border Tribe people that are waving back at them. As they were getting closer to the holographic dome, Okoye flew past it and arrived at Birnin Zana and landed on the helipad as the Dora Milaje were waiting for the prince's arrival.As the Queen Mother Ramonda and Shuri waited for the Royal Talon Fighter to release the shuttle, T'Challa walked out of the jet with Okoye and Nakia. Once Nakia had apologized for Ramonda's loss, Okoye told Ayo to escort her to the River Tribe, as she accepted. When Shuri asked if her brother froze upon seeing his ex, Okoye giddily confirmed, comparing him to "an antelope in headlights", as the two laughed. Once Okoye stopped joking, she gathered the Dora Milaje to leave the perimeter.[8]As T'Challa went to prepare for the ceremony, Okoye participated with the Dora Milaje for the prince's following preparation. As Shuri and Ramonda were ceremonial dancing as well as the other five tribes, Okoye commanded alongside the Dora Milaje and raised up their Vibranium Spear and send a sonic signal beneath the river to let a Royal Talon Fighter rise up from the shuttle and let the prince through the rivers of the land.En route to Warrior Falls, as all of the tribes of Wakanda sailed along the river, with Okoye and the Dora Milaje leading as they awaited the arrival of T'Challa. Okoye watched T'Challa during his settlement with the five tribes but was later confronted with M'Baku of the Jabari Tribe. As the dispute resulted into a fight, T'Challa won the fight against M'Baku, as the crowd went wild with excitement and Okoye supporting him when he was crowned as King of Wakanda.[8]While T'Challa took the time to visit the Border Tribe and see how W'Kabi was doing in his farm and talking about aiding other countries, Okoye alerted both of them through the use of their Kimoyo Beads to inform that a misidentified Wakandan artifact was stolen from the Museum of Great Britain and Ulysses Klaue had plans to sell it to an American buyer in South Korea.When the Tribal Council convened, Okoye informed them that Klaue would be in Busan. She supported a mission to capture or kill Klaue, arguing that it was too good an opportunity to let pass. T'Challa decided that he, along with Okoye and Nakia, would go to South Korea, promising W'Kabi that he will kill where he stands. As T'Challa had settled in the procedure with the mission by having a new Panther Habit, Okoye participated in the operation with the idea of using the disguise before tracking in Klaue's location.[8]Once the group learned that Klaue had stolen a vibranium artifact from the Museum of Great Britain and was planning to sell it on the black market, Okoye joined T'Challa and Nakia to travel to Busan to arrest Ulysses Klaue. Getting out of the car, Okoye grumbled about the wig she was forced to wear as part of her disguise, expressing a desire for the mission to go quickly so she could remove it.Following Nakia, Okoye listened to her talking to a woman who owned a fish market business, telling her to gain passage with her friends. Okoye entered into Jagalchi Market Casino despite her suspicions of the woman. Upon entering, the group decided to split up to cover more area, with Okoye asking her partners to focus on the mission instead of having personal conversations. As Nakia sat at the bar and spotted some Americans, thus potential buyers to Klaue, Okoye saw more coming into the casino carrying diamonds, informing that the situation is a setup. Meanwhile, Okoye was informed by T'Challa that Everett Ross and the CIA was alsopresentKlaue eventually arrived in the casino with more bodyguards, and Okoye noticed that all of them were armed. As Nakia intended to move forward against Klaue, Okoye instructed her to wait, but this caused her to be identified as a Wakandan hostile by a bodyguard. Knowing that her cover was no longer relevant, Okoye unsheathed her Vibranium Spear and took down the two bodyguards who attacked her. Klaue began a shootout in the casino and made an escape.Okoye managed to defeat several bodyguards and left the casino with Nakia to chase Klaue who escaped with multiples SUVs. Pursuing, Okoye tossed a remote access Kimoyo Bead onto a parked car for T'Challa's use whilst she and Nakia gave chase in their vibranium car. Okoye and Nakia tailed onto one of Klaue's SUV, driving away on a two-lane street. Okoye informed Nakia that Klaue's henchmen are trying to lose them on each lane.Further tailing Klaue's SUV, Okoye commented on the use of guns as primitive while the henchmen shot at their vibranium car. Getting calmly frustrated, Okoye slid out of the passenger window and climbed onto the roof of her own car while Nakia was driving, stabbing her Vibranium spear on the roof of the vehicle as a handle. Nakia dropped back and weaved through traffic as Okoye engaged her spear mechanism, then steadied herself and threw her spear at the rear SUV; the weapon went clean through both the rear and front windscreen to jam itself in the road, causing the SUV to crash into it and taking it out for the count.Leaving only Klaue's SUV to chase down, Okoye witnessed Klaue being retaliated and fired his prosthetic arm's sonic cannon, destroying Okoye's car. Flying in mid-air with car parts being in pieces, Okoye manages to catch her spear and land on the shredded roof of the car while Nakia skids towards her with the driver's seat and belt buckle intact. Being witnessed by Ross, Okoye and Nakia were picked up by him and took them to KlaueBefore Ross had managed to catch up to T'Challa, who had caused Klaue's car to crash before ripping out Klaue's prosthetic arm and threatening him with his Panther Claws. Seeing that T'Challa was preparing to execute Klaue on the spot in revenge, Okoye and Nakia had managed to convince him to stop as he was being filmed by several people. Following Klaue's arrest, Ross took everyone to the CIA South Korean Black Site.[8]With Ulysses Klaue finally in the custody of CIA, Okoye and T'Challa decided to go to the CIA South Korean Black Site, checking for answers of his past crimes. Taken into the interrogation room, Okoye looked after Klaue as he was handcuffed to chair from his hands and ankles and mockingly kissing at their mirrored glass where she was standingWhen Everett Ross confronted them aside from the glass window, Okoye advised T'Challa not to leave Ross to interrogate Klaue alone. When Ross gently tapped T'Challa's shoulder, Okoye took offense and threatened to impale him to a desk if he did it again in Xhosa, causing Ross to not understand what she said. T'Challa agreed to let Ross interrogate Klaue on his own while putting a bug on his shoulder to listen to him closely. T'Challa then told Okoye to be nice, despite her displeasement with AmericansOkoye watched in silence as Ross confronted T'Challa about Klaue's reveal that Wakanda actually had large supplies of Vibranium. Listening further, Okoye noticed T'Challa's realization of Klaue spilling out information about Wakanda that shouldn't be said. Once Ross stepped out of the room, T'Challa was confronted over Klaue's claims about Wakanda, then the conversation was interrupted when Nakia informed them an attack is being held at the moment, only for an explosion to hit near them in the interrogation roomWhen an armed gunman breached the wall of the interrogation room and cause an explosion at the office, Okoye remained hidden and ready to attack but she witnessed a grenade being set off, only for Black Panther to stop it from exploding. As Klaue and his goons managed to escape in front of the base and Black Panther attempted to chase them down, Okoye noticed her king on the ground and informed him that someone has been shot.Okoye and T'Challa returned to the CIA facility where Ross had been heavily wounded while protecting Nakia. T'Challa used a Kimoyo Bead to stabilize his wound. Understanding the risks of bringing a foreign agent into his home, T'Challa ordered Ross brought to Wakanda to heal him, much to Okoye's confusion of his sudden decision. Despite the risk, Okoye brought Ross along the Royal Talon Fighter for medical attention.Traveling back to Wakanda, Okoye strongly advised T'Challa that they should have brought Klaue into the country instead of Ross, being a foreign intelligence agent. As Okoye object to the idea of Ross being taken into Wakanda before Nakia's life being saved, T'Challa decided to bring Ross to Wakanda for the reason that he can't just let him die knowing that he could save him. Asking T'Challa where Ross will be treated, Okoye was told that Shuri's Lab will suffice.[8]Gaining reports of an outsider from the Border Tribe, Okoye contacted Shuri, informing that a man showed up at the border claims to have killed Ulysses Klaue. With Shuri being confused, Okoye told her that W'Kabi is transporting the outsider to the Tribal Council and should warn T'Challa.When Okoye joined the throne room with the Tribal Council, she followed T'Challa as he stood up and came face to face with the man, who happened to be N'Jadaka, T'Challa's cousin, who went under the alias of Erik Killmonger. When Killmonger decided to reveal his name to the River Tribe Elder, Okoye witnessed the evidence by W'Kabi showing his Royal Ring. With the conflict between the people around him, T'Challa decided to accept the challenge from Killmonger.As T'Challa and Killmonger were both taken to Warrior Falls to prepare for their duel, Okoye watched the duel between them before Nakia asked about where Everett Ross was, answering that he was locked in her office. Okoye then watched with growing anguish as Killmonger slowly gained the upper hand over T'Challa. When Zuri intervened the fight, he was killed by Killmonger, causing shock for Okoye. When the fight reached its end, Okoye could hardly keep her tears as Killmonger defeated T'Challa and watched in horror as Killmonger threw T'Challa down the waterfall.[8]Following the duel, Okoye found Nakia, who had put Ramonda and Shuri in safety. Okoye then told Nakia that she could not follow them as she was bound to serve the throne of Wakanda no matter who sat on it. Therefore, Okoye let Nakia, Ramonda, and Shuri go into exile while she would reluctantly serve Erik Killmonger as her new KingOkoye attended Killmonger's first Tribal Council, where he explained his plan of delivering Vibranium weapons all over the world to start a global revolution. Okoye spoke against this plan, claiming that Wakanda has survived for so long by fighting when only absolutely necessary, only for W'Kabi to counter her argument and advocate for a change in Wakandan foreign policies before the outside world starts to catch up to them. As Killmonger began to tell her orders, Okoye was forced to comply with weapons to be sent throughout the world.Once the council had ended, Okoye argued with W'Kabi and questioned about how T'Challa was ever his friend. Knowing that W'Kabi had no problem having Killmonger murder T'Challa, Okoye was told that it was his choice which made her even angry for the loss. W'Kabi then told Okoye that he wanted justice for his family after they were killed by Ulysses Klaue, much to Okoye's dismissal. W'Kabi told Okoye that Wakanda will still stand tall and hugged her.[10]As Erik Killmonger and the Border Tribe prepared to deliver Vibranium weapons to War Dogs around the world, Okoye witnessed the first plane being destroyed and expressed considerable joy and relief when she saw T'Challa emerging from the remnants of the aircraft. As Killmonger ordered W'Kabi to kill T'Challa, Okoye tried to keep him from it by claiming that the ritual challenge was not over but W'Kabi ordered the Border Tribe to charge.[8]While T'Challa faced the Border Tribe, Okoye and the rest of the Dora Milaje, who now owe Killmonger nothing since he had just forfeited his legal claim to the throne by refusing to continue the duel with T'Challa, openly rebelled against Erik Killmonger, calling him unworthy of ruling over Wakanda. Okoye ordered Ayo to take the Dora Milaje on the battlefield to assist T'Challa while she and three other Dora Milaje would fight against Killmonger, who wore an upgraded version of the Panther Habit to fight them.Okoye and her soldiers furiously fought against Killmonger, who managed to withstand their assault and took Xoliswa captive. As he executed her, Okoye screamed in rage and the Dora Milaje resumed their attack. Okoye and the group managed to block Killmonger between their Vibranium Spears and almost stripped him of the necklace which enabled him to use his suit, but Killmonger released a burst of kinetic energy, sending Okoye away on the battlefield.Okoye found herself surrounded by members of the Border Tribe, putting up their holographic shields and threatened them with their White Rhinoceroses. Okoye took down several opponents but ended up cornered by the Border Tribe with Shuri, Nakia and Ayo. As W'Kabi ordered them to surrender with a countdown, the support of the Jabari Tribe decided to side with T'Challa and helped them defeat the Border Tribe members.When she saw M'Baku being charged by W'Kabi riding his war rhinoceros, Okoye ran to get between them, having the rhinoceros recognize Okoye and stopped in front of her. When W'Kabi stepped down, Okoye ordered her husband to surrender. W'Kabi, being visibly saddened, asked Okoye if she would kill him and replied that she would not hesitate to do it for Wakanda. Becoming convinced, W'Kabi laid down his weapon and Okoye arrested him in the field.Heading over to United Nations, Okoye, T'Challa, Nakia, and Ayo walked into over to the Vienna International Centre. When Everett Ross arrived to meet up, T'Challa was greeted by him before being asked for a private conversation, to which T'Challa asked to give them space. Before leaving away from the conversation about revealing his Wakanda's secrets, T'Challa was wished good luck in Xhosa, however, he mispronounced some words which caused Okoye and Ayo to laugh while Ross insisted that he practiced his phrase. As T'Challa thanked him for Ross attempt to impress him, Okoye visited along with her king into the conference.[10With T'Challa being fully reinstated as the rightful King of Wakanda, Okoye accompanied him to a United Nations meeting in Vienna. Okoye stood behind T'Challa as he announced that Wakanda would open to the rest of the world, and she mildly smiled as a delegate asked what Wakanda, which he believed to be a nation of farmers, could offer to the international community.Okoye then rallied the Dora Milaje and prepared for battle on the fields, alongside the Avengers, M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe, the Border Tribe, and the Wakandan Royal Guard. She watched in horror as the Outriders began relentlessly charging into the Wakandan energy barrier, incinerating themselves with no regard for their own safety. She stood by T'Challa as he ordered a section of the barrier to be opened so that the enemy would funnel directly towards them.During the battle, Okoye and Romanoff were nearly killed by the Threshers, but were saved by Wanda Maximoff, who Okoye inquired as to why she wasn't there the whole time. Later, she and Romanoff then teamed up to fight Proxima Midnight, who was attempting to kill Maximoff. As they fought her, Maximoff used her powers to lift Midnight into the path of one of the Threshers, killing her.[4]Once the battle had ended, Okoye accompanied T'Challa into the forest with the other Avengers to protect Vision. She then witnessed Thanos’s arrival through a wormhole. In an attempt to prevent Thanos from reaching Vision, Okoye hurled her Sonic Spear at Thanos, but he easily repelled it with the Power Stone and then flung her away.Afterwards, Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision and united the Infinity Stones into his Infinity Gauntlet and snapped his fingers. Okoye watched in absolute horror as T'Challa, who was trying to help her up, disintegrated into dust, causing her to cry out in clear alarm and confusion.[4]Okoye learned that Assata, a young disabled girl, wanted to become a member of the Dora Milaje. She sat down with Assata and offered her a modified training regiment so that she could follow her dream. However, Assata refused Okoye's help, choosing instead to study science. However, Assata returned to Okoye sometime later, asking to be trained for the Dora Milaje. Okoye asked about Assata's belief that it was impossible to join the Dora Milaje, but Assata replied that she should follow her dreams, even if she had to take different paths. Okoye told Assata that her grandmother would be proud of her. She told Assata the first step to training was to remove obstacles that seemed impossible. Okoye then began training Assata to use a Vibranium Spear.[13]In 2024, Okoye was heartbroken to hear the news that T'Challa was very sick. Although Shuri tried to save him, T'Challa passed away. At his funeral, Okoye sadly picked up the casket, crying for her king. She brought it to the Royal Talon Fighter where the casket got beamed up. She then crossed her arms in salute.[1]A year later, Okoye and the Dora Milaje went to the Wakandan Outreach Center to protect the Vibranium. When mercenaries arrived, Aneka opened the door, allowing Okoye, Ayo, and Yama to slowly walk out of the door. The then fought the intruders, deflecting multiple bullets. Okoye displayed swift abilities while ridiculing Aneka, who had brought new Vibranium Daggers. Aneka claimed that Shuri gave her them, but Okoye told her to stick to the traditional Vibranium Spear.The next day, the Dora accompanied Ramonda to a United Nations meeting. Ramonda told the world that even without the Black Panther, they were still a threat. She then brought out the Dora, who displayed the apprehended mercenaries. Ramonda used this to show the world not to mess with them.[1Ramonda called an emergency meeting for the elders and revealed that Namor infiltrated the border and spoke to her and Shuri. He claimed that his country's problem was their mess. They had to help him fix it by giving him the scientist who created the Vibranium Detector. Okoye sat down in her seat as M'Baku arrived. The two of them traded insults until they were told to stop by Ramonda.In Shuri's lab, Okoye looked at the Midnight Angel Armor that Shuri had been preparing, stating that it was still ugly. Shuri then showed how she ripped apart the detector to see the parts. Okoye pulled Ramonda aside, asking her to let Shuri go with her to Cambridge to get the scientist. Ramonda initially refused, but Okoye argued that it would be a good way for Shuri to get out of her lab.[1]Okoye and Shuri scouted out the scientist in Cambridge, realizing that she was just a kid named Riri Williams. Shuri wanted to talk to Williams alone. Although Okoye was skeptical, she allowed her five minutes. She was also worried about her makeup, but Shuri claimed it was fine. Okoye hid in the bathroom of Williams' dorm. When Williams walked in, Okoye walked out.Scared, Williams grabbed a speaker and threw it at Okoye, who sliced it in half with her spear. Williams then freaked out that Okoye brought a spear in there, making fun of her makeup. Shuri then laughed as Okoye felt betrayed. Before leaving, Shuri said that they were going to leave Williams to get killed by Namor. Hearing who he was, Williams finally agreed to come.They drove to a Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage and walked in, where Okoye looked around, seeing a car and scouting out the place while Williams grabbed her stuff. Suddenly, the FBI arrived, telling the Wakandans to come out. Okoye got into the car, telling Shuri to join her. Shuri claimed that they needed that space for Williams, but she left in her own homemade Iron Man style armor. Okoye then said there was no excuse, so Shuri got in. However, before leaving, she told Griot to get into auto drive. She then jumped out as Okoye left with Griot, without her consent. Shuri chased with a motorcycleThe FBI drove and chased after Okoye, but then Okoye threatened Griot. Griot gave in and gave Okoye manual controls. Okoye threw the spear into the back of the car, sending it through the trunk. She used this to flip a car over before meeting up with Shuri. Suddenly, a surveillance drone, sent by Williams, landed on the officers, allowing them to escape. When they thought they were safe, a spear with a rope came out of the water, and they were blasted with a Hydrobomb.Okoye got up and rushed to Shuri, who was knocked out. She was then approached by the Talokanil. Okoye easily took care of the warriors, seemingly killing them all. She was then approached by Attuma, a bigger Talokanil. He told his army to take care of the police by aiding Namora. The Talokanil, who she thought were dead, simply got up and ran. Okoye then fought Attuma, trading blows.Attuma slammed her spear down and threw her into it. Instead of killing her, however, he threw Okoye her own spear back. Okoye was shocked but took it to keep fighting. They fought some more until Okoye was knocked down. Attuma was impressed, calling her warrior. However, he said that she was not worth his blade. So, he took her spear and prepared to kill her. This allowed Okoye to shock him with her Kimoyo Beads. Attuma dropped the spear and threw her.Okoye drifted backwards but rammed her spear into the ground to stop herself. Namora then returned, telling Attuma to stop playing games. She threw Attuma a water bomb. He deflected it at Okoye, sending her flying over the bridge. She emerged from the water and saw Shuri being taken. She screamed for Shuri, in horror.[1]Okoye returned to Wakanda and reported what happened, saying she was going to get Shuri back. Ramonda was quiet at first, but simply told Okoye she was stripped from her rank as general, as well as her position on the Dora Milaje. Okoye broke down, telling Ramonda that she had given everything. M'Kathu stood up for Okoye, saying that she put a spear up to her own husband.Ramonda asked where her husband was; in a cell where she could visit him whenever she wanted. However, Ramonda did not have that luxury. She started yelling, saying she was Queen of the most powerful nation in the world and her entire family was gone, while questioning if she had not truly given everything. She stood by as Okoye was loyal to Erik Killmonger, so was everyone in the room. Today, she was done standing up for Okoye. Saddened, Okoye took her spear and stabbed it into the throne room floor before walking out.[1]Okoye decided that she needed to make it right. She walked out to a ship in order to save Shuri, but was stopped by Ayo. The new general told Okoye to stop under orders. Okoye did not care and moved further. The rest of the Dora Milaje then walked out towards Okoye, holding their spears to her. Ayo warned Okoye to back down as she did not want to spill her blood. Okoye complied to the warnings.[3]Okoye talked to Nakia, who had rescued Shuri. Nakia had returned to Wakanda, so they tried to catch up. Suddenly, they saw water sprinkling into the city. They looked over to see flooding. Okoye yelled that they were under attack just before a tidal wave washed through. Okoye saw a boy in the middle of the walkway, searching for his parents. Okoye charged at him and hugged him, taking the force of the wave.She got to a Royal Talon Fighter as she heard Attuma, who referred to her as warrior once again. She looked at him before telling the child to cross his arms so they could get beamed up. Okoye and Nakia then ran to the Citadel and found Riri Williams unconscious on the ground, but Ramonda underwater. Okoye lifted Ramonda up and out. She used her Kimoyo Beads to try to resuscitate Ramonda.As Shuri ran in, Okoye yelled at her to get back. Aneka and M'Baku held Shuri. Okoye tried to restart Ramonda's heart multiple times, but Nakia stopped her, saying it was over. Okoye cried over her queen, heartbroken as Shuri collapsed, crying. Okoye then attended Ramonda's funeral, crying.[1M'Kathu told Okoye that he wanted to meet with her, so Okoye rode a horse out to the Border Tribe. M'Kathu walked with Okoye, calling her the daughter of the border. He said that there was now a difficult decision for leader as they could get assassinated by Namor. He said that when they would do the incoronation, Okoye should challenge. Okoye did not believe that was right, but M'Kathu was worried about Shuri's leadership, especially when she was mourning. M'Kathu assured Okoye that she had the support of the people.[3]Okoye approached the mourning Shuri in her lab. Along with Nakia and Riri Williams, she helped Shuri recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb, allowing Shuri to become the Black Panther. As they set up to end the conflict, Okoye approached Aneka. She proposed that they become Midnight Angels, seeking a new purpose.[1]The Wakandans lured the Talokanil to the Sea Leopard, staging an ambush. Okoye and Aneka flew in on their Midnight Angel Armor and took care of the Talokanil before getting onto the ship. Okoye immediately scouted out Attuma, calling him warrior in Yucatec Mayan. He noticed that she spoke the mother tongue, but it was time for her to join the ancestorsOkoye fought him for a while, before repeating the same thing to him. She then threw him off of the ship and into the water, finally defeating her foe. She then crowded with the Wakandans, fearing for their lives as they fought. Luckily, Black Panther and Namor returned from their own battle, announcing a truce. Shuri then chanted "Wakanda forever," as the warriors repeated it back.[1]Okoye left Wakanda for good as she had a new purpose. She found the van that was taking the arrested Everett Ross. Using her Midnight Angel Armor, she knocked down a tree to stop the van. She then ripped open the back doors, scaring Ross, who realized it was Okoye. She then made a joke about Ross being "a colonizer in chains" before breaking him out.[1]Okoye followed Shuri to Haiti, where Shuri intended to move. Shuri noticed Okoye and said she did not need to always protect her. Okoye simply said she was saying goodbye as she wanted to see where her Midnight Angel Armor could take her. Shuri pointed out that she said it was ugly. Okoye admitted it was ugly for a Dora Milaje, which she was not. She then left Shuri, but not before saying that in the case of trouble, she would be there anywhere, anytime.[Midnight Angels Armor Capabilities: Okoye was given an armor by Shuri after she was fired from her position on the Dora Milaje. The armor was blue and had a design that Okoye was not fond of. Superhuman Strength: While wearing the armor, Okoye's strength was tremendously increased to help her battle the Talokanil. Superhuman Durability: The armor gave Okoye an extra thick layer of protection in battle. Superhuman Speed: Okoye flew around the Sea Leopard at great speed, fast enough to catch up to Ironheart. Superhuman Agility: Okoye could perform many agile maneuvers in the air. Superhuman Stamina: While wearing the armor, Okoye did not need to exert a lot of energy which allowed her to battle the Talokanil for extended periods of time. Superhuman Reflexes: Okoye was able to dodge attacks during a battle against the Talokanil. Flight: The armor possessed thrusters that allowed her to fly through the air and attack airborne Talokanil.Spear Mastery: Okoye impaling Okoye impaling Corvus Glaive Okoye is extremely skilled at using her Vibranium Spear in close quarters combat and as a long-ranged weapon. She is also very accurate when throwing her spear, as she was able to throw it through a car's windshield and into the road to halt the vehicle. She also threw her spear at Thanos' face accurately while running, although it was stopped by the Mad Titan using the Space Stone. Okoye has taken out multiple enemies with her spear at once. During the Battle of Earth, Okoye is seen impaling and flinging away Corvus Glaive. She was able to take down four Talokanil at once with her spear and blocked many attacks by Attuma. Following one attack, she used her spear to plant herself into the ground before flying off the edge of the bridge.Master Tactician: Okoye is the leader of the Dora Milaje. She led them through the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Battle of Wakanda, and the Battle of Earth. Her leadership earns her friendship and power with Black Panther and Wakanda. As a leader, she is also very loyal, having to choose the side of Erik Killmonger at first because of her duty as the leader. She eventually turned on him though.Weapons Vibranium Spear: Okoye wields her spear next to Okoye uses a specialized Vibranium spear capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. The spear is sharp enough to pierce a Vibranium car during the Arrest of Ulysses Klaue and is strong enough to stop an SUV, as seen when Okoye threw it through the windshield of Klaue's goons' vehicle and embedded it into the road ahead, totaling the vehicle on impact. Her spear along with others have been shown to be able to interact with technology by striking the ground with the blunt end, notably electrocuting an enemy during the brawl at the Jagalchi Market Casino, and activating the drainage system for Warrior Falls.Other Equipment Dora Milaje Armor: As the General of the Dora Milaje, Okoye wears a slightly more elaborated version of the Dora Milaje armor, notably with the epaulets, bracelets, and necklace being golden instead of silver. Being made of Vibranium weaves, the armor offers high durability and protection. Kimoyo Beads: Okoye used her Kimoyo Beads to project images to the Tribal Council and to control the Royal Talon Fighter. Magnetic Boots: Okoye wore boots with magnetic soles during the Arrest of Ulysses Klaue, using them to secure herself on the roof of the Vibranium car Nakia drove.[16] Midnight Angel Armor: Shuri made Midnight Angels Armor that was used by Okoye to fight with Talokanil in ambush after she was stripped of her rank as the General of the Dora Milaje by Queen Mother Ramonda.Relationships Family Korabo - Father Mother Father-in-Law † Mother-in-Law † W'Kabi - Husband M'Kathu - Uncle[3] Children Allies Golden Tribe T'Chaka † - Former King and Friend Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King and Close Friend Shuri/Black Panther - Close Friend Tribal Council River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Dora Milaje - Former Subordinates and Temporary Enemies Ala Ayo - Successor Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Assata War Dogs Nakia - Close Friend Border Tribe - Temporary Enemies Wakandan Royal Guard - Temporary Enemies M20 CIA Everett Ross - Friend Jabari Tribe - Temporary Enemies M'Baku Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Avengers - Former Teammates Steve Rogers/Captain America Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † - Former Leader Bruce Banner/Hulk Wanda Maximoff † Vision † James Rhodes/War Machine Sam Wilson/Falcon Thor Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Scott Lang/Ant-Man Tony Stark/Iron Man † Peter Parker/Spider-Man Clint Barton/Hawkeye Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket - Former Teammate Groot Nebula - Former Teammate Peter Quill/Star-Lord Mantis Drax the Destroyer Masters of the Mystic Arts Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange Wong Brunnhilde/Valkyrie Warsong Korg Miek Einherjar Ravagers Kraglin Obfonteri Howard the Duck Hope van Dyne/Wasp Pepper Potts/Rescue Gamora Griot Riri Williams/Ironheart Midnight Angels Aneka - Former Subordinate and Teammate Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor Attuma - Former Attempted Killer and Rival Namora Enemies Douglas Scott Zanda † Ulysses Klaue † Dave N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Former King Black Order Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Outriders † Thanos † Thanos † Black Order Ebony Maw † Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Corvus Glaive † - Victim Chitauri Leviathans Chitauri Gorillas Sakaarans French Armed Forces FBI Pete Shauver Cambrid nakia: Nakia is a former member of the War Dogs and T'Challa's lover, who was often sent on missions around the world, witnessing the hardships experienced by many people and growing the belief that Wakanda should actively help them. She was pulled out of an assignment to attend the Coronation of T'Challa and took part in a mission in order to arrest the criminal Ulysses Klaue. Following their failure to apprehend him, Nakia exiled herself when Erik Killmonger took the throne of Wakanda. She reunited with T'Challa in Jabariland and assisted him in reclaiming the throne from Killmonger. When T'Challa decided to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, Nakia would oversee the humanitarian policy of Wakanda.In secret, Nakia and T'Challa had a child, Toussaint, who Nakia raised in Haiti after the Snap. In 2025, one year after the death of T'Challa, Queen Ramonda had visited Nakia and recruited her into rescuing Shuri from the clutches of the Talokanil, an underwater civilization on the verge of waring with the Wakandans. In the process of the rescue, Nakia saved Shuri while inadverantly sparking the Talokanil-Wakandan War, where Ramonda would be killed by the Talokanil leader Namor. Nakia then agreed to join Shuri and Wakanda in their campaign to fight Talokan in a final confrontation, which eventually ended in a truce between the two nations. When the war had finished, Nakia invited Shuri to Haiti and introduced her to her nephew.Two years later, Nakia was still on her undercover mission. She traveled in a truck with several other captives until the truck line was suddenly stopped. As the captors engaged in defense position, Nakia sneaked out of the truck. While Black Panther suddenly attacked the traffickers, Nakia picked up a machine gun and assisted him in the fact. She then stopped Black Panther as he moved forward to the last soldier, claiming that he was a young boy who had been forced to carry a weapon.One last soldier took another woman hostage in front of Nakia and Black Panther, only to be taken down by Okoye. With the attack being over, Nakia blamed Black Panther for having sabotaged her cover. However, Black Panther informed her that T'Chaka had died and that he wanted her to attend his incoronation. Therefore, Nakia told the captives to go home and agreed to return to Wakanda. During the journey, Nakia comforted T'Challa over the loss of his father.[2]Upon arriving in Birnin Zana, Nakia left with Ayo who escorted her back to the River Tribe province to prepare for the impending Coronation of T'Challa. Nakia then went onto the River Tribe's boat during the ceremony, performing the ritual dances along with the other members of her tribe. Later, Nakia attended the coronation ceremony and was surprised when M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe arrived and declared that they would challenge T'Challa for the throne.T'Challa accepted the challenge, and Nakia then attended the duel between T'Challa and M'Baku, expressing distress when M'Baku stabbed T'Challa in the shoulder with his knobkerrie. However, T'Challa eventually triumphed over M'Baku, much to Nakia's joy who happily cheered her new King. Therefore, T'Challa was celebrated by the people of Wakanda as he was officially crowned the King of Wakanda.[2]Later, Nakia took a walk with T'Challa in the Birnin Zana. When T'Challa asked her to remain in Wakanda, Nakia insisted that she wanted to return into a mission to help other people outside her country. Indeed, Nakia thought that Wakanda should do more towards people in need instead of keeping hiding from the world, although T'Challa did not share her views. When T'Challa noticed that her stubbornness would keep her from being a great Queen, Nakia replied that this was what would make her a great Queen, making her imply that she thought about it.[2]Nakia was later recruited for a mission along with Black Panther and Okoye to arrest the criminal Ulysses Klaue. They journeyed to Busan, South Korea, where Nakia reached her contact Sophia, who had information regarding the deal Klaue was about to make in the Jagalchi Market Casino. They entered the casino and decided to split up to cover more area. Nakia sat at the bar and soon spotted three Americans, suspecting them to work with Klaue's buyer.While T'Challa discovered that CIA operative Everett Ross was the buyer, Klaue arrived in the casino with more bodyguards, prompting Nakia to stand up and be ready for action. As more Americans kept coming, Nakia and the others out figured out that this was an ambush meant for them. When bodyguards eventually identified Okoye as a target, a violent gunfight erupted in the casino. Nakia took down several of Klaue's bodyguards before leaving the casino with Okoye.Both Nakia and Okoye engaged in the hot pursuit in the streets of Busan, chasing Klaue in his SUV. They successfully followed him for a while, nearly catching up with him, but in the end, Klaue used his prosthetic hand's cannon to blast their car, leaving them behind while he escaped. Nakia and Okoye were then picked up by CIA Agent Everett Ross, who took them to where Black Panther had ultimately caught Klaue. Nakia begged him not to execute Klaue as they were being watched by numerous witnesses.[2]Nakia joined the CIA South Korean Black Site along with Black Panther and Okoye. However, while Ulysses Klaue was being interrogated, Nakia figured out that something was not right outside the CIA facility. Indeed, a disguised Erik Killmonger had arrived to release Klaue. Killmonger began shooting in the facility and Everett Ross jumped in front of Nakia, taking a bullet for her. Nakia then agreed with Black Panther upon bringing Ross to Wakanda to heal him.[2]Back in Wakanda, Nakia took some time alone with T'Challa, who had learned the truth about his uncle N'Jobu who had betrayed Wakanda and had been killed by T'Challa's father T'Chaka. Nakia comforted T'Challa, stating that he was not responsible for his father's mistakes and that he had to choose what kind of King he would be. Their conversation was however interrupted as Shuri called T'Challa and asked him to come back to her lab, along with Everett Ross, who was recovering from his gunshot wound.At Shuri's Lab, the two uncovered that the man from earlier was Erik Killmonger, whose real name was Erik Stevens, a former Navy Seal and a member of a CIA black ops assassination squad. Indeed, Killmonger had returned to Wakanda with the corpse of Ulysses Klaue as a gift. Nakia listened to Everett Ross' presentation about Killmonger, all the while exchanging concerned looks with T'Challa.[2]Later, Nakia attended the duel between Erik Killmonger and T'Challa. When Okoye asked her where Everett Ross was, Nakia replied that she had locked him up. Nakia then watched the fight and despite her support, T'Challa was defeated and Zuri was murdered by Killmonger. Nakia watched in horror as Killmonger took T'Challa and threw him over the waterfall, leaving him for dead. Knowing that they were in danger as of now, Nakia took Shuri and Ramonda away for safety.[2]Nakia later met with Okoye and asked her to come with them and leave Birnin Zana. However, Okoye refused claiming that she was bound to serve whoever sat on the throne of Wakanda. Nakia replied that she loved Wakanda as much as Okoye did and that she would save it from Killmonger while Okoye would serve the new King. Nakia then went to find Everett Ross. She informed him of T'Challa's demise and gave him clothes so he could escape with Shuri, Ramonda and Nakia herself.Before leaving Birnin Zana, however, Nakia went to the City of the Dead, where Killmonger was to undergo the ceremony where he would meet his ancestors on the Ancestral Plane. Nakia watched as Killmonger returned from his interdimensional journey and ordered all the Heart-Shaped Herb to be burnt down. Nakia managed to salvage one single herb before secretly leaving. She then reunited with Shuri, Ramonda and Ross and they made their way to Jabariland, where they intended to give the Herb to M'Baku so he could challenge Killmonger.On the way, Ramonda questioned this plan and suggested that Nakia should take the herb herself, but she refused, as she was a spy with no army. They were captured by Jabari warriors who brought them to M'Baku. Nakia explained to M'Baku that they had come to offer him the Heart-Shaped Herb so he could help them overthrow Killmonger. However, instead of taking it, M'Baku took Nakia and the others with them and revealed the truth: T'Challa was alive and had been secretly kept by the Jabari Tribe.Nakia gave the Heart-Shaped Herb to Ramonda, who crushed it into the drink which would restore the powers of the Black Panther. Thanks to that, T'Challa was revived, much to Nakia's joy. They returned to the Jabari throne room, where Nakia explained the situation in Wakanda and swore to fight at T'Challa's side against Killmonger.[2]Nakia, Shuri and Everett Ross sneaked into Shuri's Lab while Black Panther faced the Border Tribe who followed Erik Killmonger. Nakia then reclaimed advanced Circular Vibranium Blades and, on Shuri's request, wore a Dora Milaje armor. She then left the lab with Shuri, leaving Ross behind so he could take remote control of the Royal Talon Fighter. Nakia and Shuri joined the battlefield on Mount Bashenga and quickly confronted Killmonger as he had defeated Okoye and two other DorasUsing her Circular Vibranium Blades, Nakia managed to disarm Killmonger, but he fought back and wounded her on the thigh with his Panther Habit's claws. He then threw Nakia away before turning to Shuri. As Black Panther joined into the fight, Nakia was found by Shuri, and they decided to resume the fight against the Border Tribe alongside with the Dora Milaje. However, they were outnumbered and Nakia, Okoye, Shuri and Ayo found themselves cornered by the Border Tribe.Nakia and the others were eventually saved by M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe, who came into battle to fight for Black Panther. Thanks to these reinforcements, Nakia was able to defeat several members of the Border Tribe. In the end, the Border Tribe surrendered while Black Panther successfully defeated Killmonger.[2]In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Nakia was present in the throne room as T'Challa returned as the rightful King of Wakanda. She then took another walk with T'Challa in the streets of Birnin Zana. When T'Challa thanked her for having saved both himself and Wakanda, Nakia simply replied that she had done her duty and protected what she loved, prompting T'Challa to kiss her. Nakia kissed him back and T'Challa announced that he had found a way for her to fulfill her plans of providing the world with assistance.In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Nakia was present in the throne room as T'Challa returned as the rightful King of Wakanda.

Nakia kissed him back and T'Challa announced that he had found a way for her to fulfill her plans of providing the world with assistance.As T'Challa decided to create Wakandan International Outreach Center, Nakia was appointed a head of the social outreach department.[2] She then accompanied T'Challa to Vienna for a United Nations meeting during which T'Challa decided to open Wakanda to the world, following Nakia's advice.[2]Sometime later, Nakia and T'Challa had a son together and kept his existence a secret. Nakia abandoned her positions, leaving the War Dogs, and made plans with T'Challa for her to move to Haiti. They decided to move there so their son wouldn't be pressured with the Golden Tribe.[1]In 2018, Nakia, pregnant with her son, was kept away when the battle with aliens occurred. She and her son then survived the Snap. After learning that T'Challa and Shuri had disappeared, she and her son, without telling anyone, moved to Haiti. Making the move and grieving the losses wasn't an easy feat for her.[1] Community Work She then gave birth to her son there. During the next five years, she bought a house for herself where she raised her son. She also took part in helping out at nearby orphanages, working as a headmistress.[1]In 2023, Nakia was contacted by T'Challa after he had been restored to life and was visited by him. In 2024, he told her about his illness and prepared her and their son for his subsequent death. He also told her that when he died, he wanted her to stay there and not attend his funeral. After he passed, Nakia held a little funeral at her house.[1]Nakia was living peacefully in Haiti when she was approached by Toussaint who had led Ramonda to her. Nakia talked to Ramonda about all that had happened in the past six years. Ramonda then told Nakia that Shuri had been taken and asked for her help. Nakia wanted Ramonda to distract Namor while she went in.Nakia searched Mexico for any information on Namor, trying to find his location. She approached a woman, posing as a student and she asked for information, but the woman did not want to speak to outsiders, telling Nakia to go. Nakia then spoke in Yucatec Mayan, telling her that she has seen him, too. The woman then told Nakia about Namor.[1]Nakia located the underwater nation of Talokan and used an underwater vehicle to travel into a cave. She emerged in a cave without water and found Shuri. She pointed her gun at a Talokanil that was holding Shuri by the throat. Nakia spoke in Xhosa, telling Shuri to move her left arm. Once she did, Nakia shot the Talokanil. Although Shuri wanted to help the woman, Nakia told her she was as good as dead. They hopped on her vehicle and made it to the surface where Ramonda reunited with Shuri, thanking Nakia.[1]Nakia finally returned to Wakanda after six years. She talked with Okoye in the city about T'Challa and his death. Suddenly, water came rushing through the city. Okoye told her they were under attack. Nakia and Okoye used a ship to rescue many civilians including Shuri. They then rushed to the Citadel where they found Ramonda and Riri Williams drowning.Nakia grabbed Williams and used Kimoyo Beads to try to resuscitate her. Following many attempts, Williams finally woke up, spitting and coughing out water. Nakia then ran over to Okoye, who was doing the same to Ramonda. Nakia connected her beads to Ramonda's and figured out it was too late for her. Nakia told Okoye to back off as it was too late, the queen was dead. Nakia stayed silent at the funeral as Shuri mourned.Nakia met with the grieving Shuri in her lab. Shuri was set on recreating the Heart-Shaped Herb so she could take Namor down. Nakia helped her recreate the herb along with Riri Williams. Nakia then set Shuri down and had her drink the substance. When Shuri woke up, she claimed not to feel any different. Angry that it did not work, she argued with Nakia before punching a mannequin, only for it to go flying. Realizing she did have strength, Nakia told Shuri to make a suit.[1Prior to luring the Talokanil to the Sea Leopard, Nakia approached the new Black Panther. Nakia first told Shuri that she would always have a home with her in Haiti. She then told Shuri to breathe, which she did. Nakia then asked Shuri who she saw in the Ancestral Plane. Shuri backed off, refusing to say. Fearing the worst, Nakia told Shuri that killing out of vengeance would only make things worse, it will grow the hole in her heart until it consumed her. Shuri told Nakia that she was already consumedOn the Sea Leopard, the Talokanil arrived, allowing the Wakandans to ambush. Nakia fought the Talokanil, but Namor threw an aircraft onto the ship. When Black Panther got Namor away, Nakia and M'Baku ordered the ship to retreat. However, the Talokanil bombed the bottom of the ship, making it nearly tipped over, sending many Wakandans into the deadly seas below. Nakia used her Circular Vibranium Blades in battle. Finally, Shuri and Namor returned from their own battle, having struck a truce. The fight ended with the Wakandans praising the Black Panther once again.[1]Nakia then returned to Haiti. She and her son joined Shuri on the beach next to her house, and introduced him to her as her and T'Challa's child.Nakia explained to Shuri that she and T'Challa had agreed it was better for him to grow up in Haiti, away from the pressure of being Wakanda's king. She also revealed that he had prepared them for his death, and told them not to come to his funeral. Shuri then asked if her mother had met him before her passing, which Nakia confirmed.[1]Master Spy: Nakia going undercover as a captive Nakia going undercover as a captive

Her cover was only broken when Black Panther sought her out himself and ruined the mission. She can also scout out who the most dangerous men are. When T'Challa went to kill one of the kidnappers, Nakia stopped him and showed that it was just a kid. When Erik Killmonger became King, she was able to negotiate with M'Baku for protection. She then infiltrated the farm and stole a Heart-Shaped Herb for T'Challa. When trying to find Shuri, Nakia was able to gain the trust of a Yucatán woman.formidableMaster Combatant: Nakia is highly skilled and in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.

It is unclear whether or not this is because of skill or technology though. She used the same weapon to fight several members of the Border Tribe and the Talokanil. SIG-Sauer P226R: Nakia managed to seize one of the handguns belonging to Ulysses Klaue's men when they started to attack during the sale of the Vibranium weapon at the Jagalchi Market Casino.

Initially a staunch opponent of T'Challa's rule, M'Baku ended up torn between challenging him for the throne and helping him defend Wakanda from Erik Killmonger. Seeing the threat that Killmonger posed to the world, M'Baku chose to save T'Challa's life and gathered his armies to help defeat Killmonger in their final battle, with M'Baku gaining a seat on the Tribal Council as a result of his choice. Two years later, M'Baku aided the other tribes in defending Wakanda from Thanos' army of Outriders. While succeeding in killing all of Thanos' forces, they failed to stop him from gathering all six Infinity Stones and M'Baku was one of the survivors of the Snap. Once the Snap's victims were resurrected in 2023, M'Baku was enlisted by the Masters of the Mystic Arts to aid the Avengers and participate in the Battle of Earth. With T'Challa having recently passed away, as Wakanda was under the threat of the Talokanil, led by Namor, M'Baku called for swift action against them. The Talokanil attacked Birnin Zana, and M'Baku provided shelter for the refugees after the attack, before he joined Shuri, the new Black Panther, in the final battle against Namor. Once Namor surrendered and Wakanda resumed its normal life, Shuri decided to travel the world, so M'Baku called for a challenge for the throne of Wakanda, and became King.M'Baku grew up in Jabariland, where he learned to shun Birnin Zana's use of Vibranium and held distaste for its mainstream lifestyle. Eventually, M'Baku gained leadership over the tribe and set out to rule over the Jabari Tribe. M'Baku was disgusted as the technological advancements of Wakanda had been overseen by Shuri, who in his opinion had no respect for tradition. Disappointed in the rulership of the Golden Tribe, M'Baku decided to become the new King to return Wakanda to the old lifestyle.[1]During T'Challa's coronation, Zuri asked if any warrior would challenge for the throne. M'Baku stepped forward, declaring himself as a challenger. T'Challa accepted M'Baku's challenge, with the duel commencing. Despite T'Challa taking advantage of his swift speed, M'Baku managed to restrain T'Challa in a bear hug, beginning to crush him under his strength. Hearing the Wakandans chanting his name prompting him to get back up, T'Challa managed to escape the bear hug and crack M'Baku's ceremonial mask, stunning him.T'Challa then pushed M'Baku to the edge of the Warrior Falls, where he pinned M'Baku, telling him to yield, as he didn't want to kill him. M'Baku continued to struggle under T'Challa's grasp but ceased when T'Challa told him that the Jabari Tribe needed him. M'Baku yielded, and accepted T'Challa as the victor, leaving the Falls and heading back to Jabariland.[1]When T'Challa was seemingly killed by his cousin, Erik Killmonger, Jabari Tribe fishermen found the severely wounded T'Challa; M'Baku had him brought back to the tribe and covered with snow to stabilize his failing vital signs, considering it a repayment for sparing his life during the tribal combat. They were, however, unable to nurse him back to health, due to lacking the advanced technology the rest of the country shared.[1]When Ramonda, Shuri, Nakia, and Everett Ross came to offer M'Baku a Heart-Shaped Herb, he took them to T'Challa. They fed the herb to T'Challa, effectively reviving him. Afterward, M'Baku provided shelter to Ramonda while the others went to fight Killmonger. T'Challa requested the Jabari's aid, though M'Baku refused.[1]When the Dora Milaje were about to be defeated by the Border Tribe, M'Baku, seemingly realizing T'Challa was right about keeping Vibranium out of Erik Killmonger's hands, and the Jabari Tribe appeared to provide aid, alongside Ramonda giving the Dora Milaje another chance. Later, W'Kabi tried to run M'Baku over with a rhino, but Okoye stood in the way, causing the rhino to stop its assault and licked her face while M'Baku ran off to face another opponent. Shortly after this, the Border Tribe surrendered under W'Kabi's orders, not wanting to see his own people kill one another.[1nce the conflict came to an end, M'Baku became a member of the Tribal Council representing the Jabari Tribe, ending the centuries of self isolation the Jabari had from the rest of Wakanda.[1]In 2018, M'Baku was notified by T'Challa of an incoming threat and gathered the Jabari Tribe to come help. M'Baku was thanked for coming by T'Challa and then witnessed the Outriders outside the dome. Upon seeing the aliens, he told Okoye that the invasion would be an end to their home. Nonetheless, he shouted the traditional battle cry before going into battle with his Tribe, T'Challa, the Border Tribe, Wakandan Royal Guard, Dora Milaje, and members of the Avengers.M'Baku valiantly fought against the Outriders, but despite their best efforts and their ability to withstand the assault, the Snap happened, wiping out half of the life in the universe. M'Baku survived the Snap, and watched on as half of his Tribe and other Wakandan warriors disintegrated into dust before him with bewilderment. A clear horror and shock look was on his face, as he struggled to understand what was happening.[2]Five years later, following the Blip, M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe were recruited by the Masters of the Mystic Arts to help fight in the battle against an alternate Thanos at the Avengers Compound in New York. He, his Tribe, and the Wakandans arrived through a portal led by Okoye, T'Challa, and Shuri. Early on, M'Baku was being piled by a few Chitauri, but he was able to gain the upper hand and smash his way out. When the battle was over, M'Baku led his Tribe back home.[4]M'Baku went to the Amanzi Kwakhona Umlambo, where he found Assata crying. He asked how she could cry while looking at the river, asking what was wrong. Assata explained that while she had dreamt of joining the Dora Milaje, her disability made it impossible. M'Baku considered Assata's words before asking what Assata felt was meant by impossible. Assata asserted that something impossible could not be done, but M'Baku said that others defined it as a need to find another way to make something possible.M'Baku asked for confirmation that Assata is a member of the Mining Tribe, asking if Assata believed vibranium to be what made Wakanda special. Assata asserted that it was, since Wakanda was the only country that had it. However, M'Baku insisted that Wakanda would be special without it, pointing out that he and the Jabari Tribe were the world's greatest warriors without using it. He said that Wakanda was special because of its citizens and their ability to dream, even when things appeared to be impossible. M'Baku continued, talking about how many people believed it impossible for a small country such as Wakanda to be the most advanced on Earth. M'Baku added that those same people believed that would be impossible for a wheelchair user to join the Dora Milaje. However, he added that Wakandans were not among those people. Assata realized that M'Baku was right, saying that the job of the Dora Milaje was not to run or jump, but simply to protect Wakanda. M'Baku smiled and joked that he knew he was right, otherwise he would have simply asked her to leave. Assata was inspired by M'Baku's words to join the Dora Milaje.[5]In 2024, T'Challa fell sick and soon died. M'Baku honored his friend and attended his funeral, watching as the casket was taken by the Dora Milaje and beamed up into a Royal Talon Fighter. Although everyone crossed their arms in salute, M'Baku did not as he was mourning T'Challa.[6]Ramonda called an emergency meeting to discuss Namor, who had infiltrated Wakanda. M'Baku arrived with M'Bele, eating a carrot and immediately started scolding the River Tribe for failing to notice the intruder. He then traded insults with Okoye until Ramonda told him to sit down. M'Baku sat down and voiced his opinion that they should kill Namor and be done with it.Later, Okoye returned from a mission after losing Shuri. She insisted that she would go back and save her, but Ramonda was furious, berating Okoye for her mistake and firing her from the Dora Milaje. Okoye argued with Ramonda, pleading her case. M'Baku then spoke of Erik Killmonger and how the elders had allowed him to take the throne, causing distrust among the Wakandans.[6]M'Baku stood on a bridge in Birnin Zana as he talked to his Jabari Tribe. He told them that Nakia saved Shuri, jokingly saying that he was surprised Ramonda did not banish her for that. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. M'Baku looked around and saw water rushing into the city.M'Baku stood on a bridge in Birnin Zana as he talked to his Jabari Tribe. He told them that Nakia saved Shuri, jokingly saying that he was surprised Ramonda did not banish her for that. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. M'Baku looked around and saw water rushing into the city.M'Baku jumped into the water and saved some people on a boat. He then looked underwater, surprised to see a whale coming after him. He got up to the surface and yelled that invaders were coming. He got onto a boat and fought the Talokanil, throwing one with his club. He then sailed and saw Namor, referring to him as the fish man. He ran and leaped at Namor, swinging his club. The club did no damage to Namor and even shattered. Namor then punched M'Baku, shattering his wood armor and sending him flying. M'Baku stood up, gasping for breath.He then rushed to the Citadel and saw Okoye and Nakia attempting to resuscitate Ramonda and Riri Williams. Okoye yelled at M'Baku and Aneka to get Shuri away. They did so as Shuri struggled to break free from their grasp, crying. M'Baku held Shuri as she collapsed to the ground, having lost another family member. While Williams was revived, RamondavM'Baku attended the funeral and noticed a much colder, stone-faced Shuri. He talked to her, seeking advice. He said that the elders asked him to house the Wakandans for the time being. Shuri asked him why he would seek advice from a child who scoffed at tradition; bringing up M'Baku's insult from years ago. M'Baku simply told her that the world had taken too much from her to be considered a child anymore. M'Baku said it was in the people's interest to know which way her mind was leaning. Shuri told him that if he provided for the people, they would be in great debt to him. M'Baku then asked Shuri how her heart felt. Shuri told him that she had lost the last person who truly understood her. Shuri's heart was buried with Ramonda.[6 In Gorilla City, M'Baku argued with the elders about what to do next. Suddenly, a Royal Talon Fighter flew overhead. M'Baku looked up in awe to see the Black Panther drop down into the cave. Revealing herself to be Shuri, she walked over to M'Baku, who held out his hand. They arm wrestled until Shuri won. Realizing that she had regained her strength, M'Baku embraced her, saying that the Black Panther was alive. M'Baku then listened as Shuri explained her plan to lure Namor out to sea. He then offered his counsel, asking if killing him was the best solution. When the other councilors reminded that he previously called for Namor's head after the attack on Birnin Zana, he pointed out that the Talokanil referred to Namor not as a general or a king, but as K'uk'ulkan, the feathered serpent god. Seeing his allies' confusion at his surprising knowledge, he rhetorically asked if they really believed that because the Jabari lived in the mountains that they did not have access to book Shuri then asked for a moment alone with M'Baku. When he granted her request, Shuri and M'Baku talked about her intentions with Namor. Shuri wanted to kill him, but M'Baku argued against it, saying that it could risk eternal war. Shuri asked if Ramonda was not worth eternal war, and M'Baku replied that Ramonda was, of course, worth it, but she would not want this for Shuri. The new Black Panther told him that it did not matter what Ramonda wanted, as Ramonda was dead. She then ordered M'Baku to help her.[6]The Wakandans went aboard the Sea Leopard to lure the Talokanil there. They were successful in doing so, fighting the Talokanil and Namor with the new Black Panther. M'Baku used his new Vibranium club to take down many Talokanil. When Black Panther took Namor away from the fight, M'Baku ordered everyone to return to Wakanda as their mission was finished. Suddenly, they lost their sonic emitters.M'Baku then heard noises, followed by an explosion. The ship started tipping, sending many overboard. As the fighting became desperate, M'Baku prayed for safety from the ancestors, but Ayo admitted they might join them. Aneka said that if they were going to, they had better take some Talokanil with them. The Wakandans were soon inched to the corner of the ship as more Talokanil arrived. Suddenly, everyone stopped as Black Panther and Namor returned, having struck a truce. M'Baku nodded at Black Panther, who stood victorious.[6]In the aftermath, Shuri planted the Heart-Shaped Herb and talked to M'Baku, informing him that she was leaving Wakanda. At the coronation, M'Baku stepped down from the Royal Talon Fighter and announced that he wanted to challenge for the throne.[6] He then became the reigning king of Wakanda.[7Master Combatant: M'Baku fights As the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku is highly well versed in armed and unarmed combat, often effectively using his size, weight and strength in his fighting style. He is proficient in the use of blades, shields and blunt weapons. His skill is well-known and feared among Wakanda, as Nakia believed that with T'Challa seemingly gone, M'Baku was the only Wakandan who could possibly defeat Erik Killmonger in ritual combat and even Ramonda, the Queen Mother, said that if M'Baku were to drink the Heart-Shaped Herb, he may have become even more terrifying in battle than Killmonger. In his duel with T'Challa in ritual combat, M'Baku was able to gain the upper hand and nearly defeat him, with T'Challa only barely coming out on top. During the Battle of Mount Bashenga, M'Baku easily defeated many Border Tribe members and survived with no injury. When he and the Jabari Tribe aided the rest of Wakanda and the Avengers in the Battle of Wakanda, M'Baku defeated many Outriders and emerged as one of the few survivors of the battle while sustaining only minor injuries. During the Battle of Earth, he was able to repel more Chitauri that attempted to pile up on him. M'Baku also survived the whole battle with little injuries. M'Baku held his own while fighting against the Talokanil. Club Mastery: M'Baku is highly skilled in the use of a knobkerrie as a blunt weapon. M'Baku has used a knobkerrie to great effect during his many fights such as his duel with T'Challa, the Battle of Mount Bashenga, and the fight against Thanos and his alien armies. During the Talokanil's invasion, M'Baku leaped into the air before swinging at Namor, but only failed due to his durable skin. The blow broke M'Baku's club, so he was forced to make anew one with a Vibranium head. Expert Tactician: As the tribal leader of the Jabari Tribe, he has decent tactical skills in the mountain ranges, giving him some expertise in the mountain environments. At the Battle of Mount Bashenga, he was able to lead the tribe in a surprise attack against the Border Tribe during the confrontation between T'Challa and Erik Killmonger. Multilingualism: M'Baku is fluent in his native Igbo, as well as Xhosa, Zulu and EnglishWeapons Knobkerrie: M'Baku wielding his Knobkerrie Crafted by the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku was rarely seen without his knobkerrie, which he could use in two different ways, as the round end could be used to hit hard and stun adversaries as a hammer while the sharp end enabled him to stab his opponents like a spear as he did with T'Challa during their duel. He also used the knobkerrie in fighting the Border Tribe and the Wakandan Royal Guard during the Battle of Mount Bashenga, the Outriders during the Battle of Wakanda, as well as an alternate Thanos and his army during the Battle of Earth. M'Baku soon fitted the knobkerrie with a vibranium head, allowing him to deal more damage.Other Equipment Hardened Jabari Wood Armor: M'Baku dons his Jabari armor M'Baku wears this armor during battlefield conflicts. The armor was primitive compared to Wakanda's armor with vibranium, but it is able to withstand even the toughest blows that could be delivered from Outriders during the Battle of Wakanda. In the Attack on Birnin Zana, M'Baku was punched in the chest by Namor. Luckily, the armor saved M'Baku’s life, but heavily damaged the wood. M'Baku soon refurbished the armor and added hints of vibranium with a new gorilla emblem.Ceremonial Gorilla Mask: During his duel with T'Challa, M'Baku wore this ceremonial mask to represent the Jabari Tribe. It could take a few strikes from a depowered T'Challa before breakingFacilities Jabariland: As the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku lived in Jabariland. He provided refuge to T'Challa and his family when T'Challa had nearly been killed by Erik Killmonger.Relationships Family Children Allies Jabari Tribe - Subordinates M'Bele Golden Tribe - Former Enemies T'Chaka † - Former King Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King and Close Friend Shuri/Black Panther - Princess and Friend Zuri † Nakia Everett Ross Dora Milaje Ayo Nomble Yama Border Tribe - Former Enemies Wakandan Royal Guard - Former Enemies M20 - Temporary Enemy Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Avengers Steve Rogers/Captain America Tony Stark/Iron Man † Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † Bruce Banner/Hulk Sam Wilson/Falcon James Rhodes/War Machine Wanda Maximoff † Peter Parker/Spider-Man Scott Lang/Ant-Man Clint Barton/Hawkeye Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy Peter Quill/Star-Lord Thor Rocket Groot Drax the Destroyer Nebula Mantis Masters of the Mystic Arts Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange Wong Brunnhilde/Valkyrie Warsong Korg Miek Einherjar Ravagers Kraglin Obfonteri Howard the Duck Hope van Dyne/Wasp Pepper Potts/Rescue Gamora Assata Midnight Angels Okoye - Savior Aneka Riri Williams/Ironheart Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor Namora Attuma Enemies N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † W'Kabi - Attempted Killer Black Order Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Outriders Thanos † Black Order Ebony Maw † Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Corvus Glaive † Chitauri Leviathans Chitauri Gorillas Sakaarans ayo: General Ayo is the General of the Dora Milaje tasked to guard the Golden Tribe. Ayo protected both T'Chaka and T'Challa throughout their rule, although she was forced to briefly follow Erik Killmonger when he had defeated T'Challa in ritual combat, until T'Challa returned and defeated Killmonger. Once T'Challa regained the crown, Ayo helped Bucky Barnes free himself of his Hydra brainwashing. When the threat of Thanos had reached Wakanda, Ayo took part in protecting her nation against this threat, fighting in the Battle of Wakanda. Six years later, Ayo was sent to take Baron Zemo into the custody of the Dora Milaje after Barnes facilitated his escape. A year later, following the passing of T'Challa, Ayo, and her partner Aneka worked together in the Dora Milaje at a Wakandan Outreach Center, when mercenaries attempted to steal vibranium, defending Wakanda without the Black Panther. When Okoye was fired from position as General of the Dora Milaje, Ayo was appointed to General. Ayo, now General, was tasked with stopping Okoye from leaving Wakanda, when Talokan invaded. During the attack, Ayo led a team to save the patrols, however Queen Ramonda passed away when attacked by Namor, ending the fight. Following a relocation of the Wakandans to Gorilla City, Ayo witnessed the arrival of the new Black Panther, Princess Shuri. Ayo and the Dora Milaje would then fight against the Talokanil onboard the Sea Leopard, until Shuri and Namor struck a truce. With the fighting over, Ayo returned to Wakanda and spent time with Aneka.In 2016, Ayo traveled with King T'Chaka and Prince T'Challa to Vienna, Austria to take part in the ratifying of the Sokovia Accords. However, she was absent during the time when T'Chaka was murdered. Distraught about what happened, she escorted T'Challa to his car when he learned from his Attaché that the Winter Soldier had escaped from the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre with the aid of Steve Rogers. They were stopped by Natasha Romanoff, who wished to speak with T'Challa. Unwilling to allow him to be slowed down, Ayo stood up to Romanoff and demanded that she move aside, threatening to fight her if she refused. T'Challa, however, told Ayo to stand aside as he spoke with Romanoff who told him to side with Tony Stark, so they could help him find and recapture the Winter Soldier.[4]Ayo was among the Dora Milaje who welcomed T'Challa when he returned to Wakanda from a mission to rescue Nakia. She stood beside Queen Mother Ramonda and Princess Shuri until Okoye asked her to take Nakia to the River Tribe so she could prepare for the incoming coronation ceremonyAyo then took part in the ceremony, dancing with the other Dora Milaje on the boat and knocking on the boat with her Vibranium Spear to activate the drainage systems of the Warrior Falls. Ayo stood next to Okoye during Zuri's speech, pointing her spear at M'Baku when he menacingly approached Shuri. As M'Baku challenged T'Challa for the throne, Ayo remained by her general's side. When T'Challa defeated M'Baku, Ayo cheered with the rest of the Wakandans and chanted T'Challa's name.Following the coronation, Ayo escorted him and Nakia through the streets of Birnin Zana as they took a walk together. Later, Ayo returned to the throne room when T'Challa was informed of the Robbery of the Museum of Great Britain. She then accompanied T'Challa to Shuri's Lab where he could acquire some equipment for his incoming mission.[1]Ayo was present when Erik Killmonger was taken to the Citadel's throne room. She stood behind Killmonger when T'Challa approached him in order to protect T'Challa should Killmonger try to attack him. Later, Ayo and the rest of the Dora Milaje attended the duel between T'Challa and Killmonger, who claimed the throne of Wakanda. She watched as Killmonger slowly gained the upper hand over T'Challa and murdered Zuri who intervened in the fight. As Killmonger defeated T'Challa and openly mocked him, claiming he was unworthy of being King, Ayo asked Okoye whether the Dora Milaje could do something, but Okoye remained silent, knowing that they had to remain uninvolved in the fight. Following Killmonger's victory, who threw T'Challa down the Warrior Falls, Ayo was forced to give him the traditional Wakandan salute and to serve him. As such, Ayo stood in the throne room when Killmonger held his first Tribal Council and ordered the Wakandans to gather Vibranium weapons to be sent to the outer world.[1]Ayo was with the rest of the Dora Milaje as Erik Killmonger and W'Kabi gathered Vibranium weapons and loaded three planes which would leave Wakanda. However, one of the planes was destroyed by Black Panther, who had survived his duel with Killmonger. Like the rest of the Dora Milaje, Ayo was relieved to find out that T'Challa had survived. She also followed Okoye when she rebelled against Killmonger. Ayo was ordered to take several Dora with her to assist the King in her battle against the Border Tribe who charged at Black Panther.For a time, Ayo successfully fought against the Border Tribe, avoiding the assaults of their war rhinoceros. However, she along with Shuri, Nakia and Okoye were ultimately cornered by the Border Tribe, who ordered them to surrender. However, the Jabari Tribe joined the battle, enabling Ayo to resume the fight against their enemies. In the end, the Border Tribe surrendered.[1]In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Ayo once again escorted King T'Challa and Nakia in the streets of Birnin Zana. Later, Ayo was among the Wakandan delegation to journey to the United Nations meeting in Vienna. She stood behind T'Challa as he delivered a speech in which he declared that he would open Wakanda to the rest of the world and share their vibranium resources.[1]Ayo met with Bucky Barnes in Wakanda, following Shuri removing the Hydra programming out of his brain. Ayo informed Barnes it was time to test if he was still susceptible to the programming, though Barnes was uncertain if they should try. However, Ayo assured him she would prevent him from hurting anyone.Ayo then recited the activation words, and though Barnes was stressed upon hearing them, it confirmed he was freed of his brainwashing. After Ayo told him he was free, Barnes began to cry tears of joy at finally being free.[5]In 2018, Ayo was present with T'Challa and the Dora when members of the Avengers arrived in Birnin Zana. She, along with the others, went into the Wakanda Medical Center and soon witnessed the arrival of the alien spaceships.She then stayed behind to protect Shuri while she worked on separating Vision from the Mind Stone. However, Corvus Glaive, a member of the Black Order, infiltrated the Center and attacked them. She fiercely tried to defend Shuri, but was swiftly defeated.[6] As Ayo's cousin, Assata, grew up admiring the Dora Milaje, Ayo took Assata to watch them training alongside T'Challa. Assata looked on with awe, although turned down Okoye's offer to train with a modified training regiment to accommodate Assata's disability. Assata chose to study science, and Ayo heard that Shuri had offered her a job as her assistant. Ayo got excited for her cousin.[2]In 2024, upon hearing that Helmut Zemo had been broken out of his imprisonment, Ayo was sent to track him down. She went to Latvia where she left a trail of Kimoyo Beads for Bucky Barnes to follow. When he found her, Ayo demanded to know where Zemo was.[8]Ayo asked Barnes why he freed Zemo recalling how she had let T'Chaka down by not being there to protect him from the bombing. She then reluctantly told him he had eight hours with Zemo before they would come back to arrest him.[5]Eight hours later, Ayo and two Dora Milaje named Nomble and Yama arrived to arrest Helmut Zemo, only to encounter John Walker, immediately attempting to impale him with a spear. Walker challenged her telling her that they had no jurisdiction there, but Ayo retorted that the Dora Milaje don't require jurisdictionAfter Walker put his hand on her armor, Ayo swiftly threw him against a pole and began to fight against him and Battlestar. Shortly, Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson tried to stop the Dora Milaje from fighting, causing Ayo to remove Barnes' vibranium arm and she expressed her disappointment with him. After finding out that Zemo escaped, Ayo told Yama to give Walker back the shield and left with her and Nomble.[5]Ayo, along with Nomble and Yama, traveled to the Sokovian Memorial in Sokovia to arrest Helmut Zemo after being tipped off about his presence there by Bucky BarnesAs the Dora Milaje arrested Zemo and escorted him to the Royal Talon Fighter, Ayo notified Barnes that they would be taking Zemo to the Raft and advised Barnes that he should make himself scarce in Wakanda as a result of recent events. Before she departed with the others, Barnes asked her for a favor for Sam Wilson, to make him a new suit to be Captain America.[9]Later, T'Challa revealed that he had been sick with an illness. Although everyone tried to help, T'Challa died soon after. Ayo attended his funeral and carried the casket off until a Royal Talon Fighter took it.[10]A year later, Ayo, Okoye, Yama, and Ayo's lover, Aneka, were posted at a Wakandan Outreach Center. Ayo, Yama, and Okoye stayed in a room while Aneka opened the door. The group stepped out and faced mercenaries who tried to steal the Vibranium. The group easily took down the mercenaries while Okoye argued with Aneka about her new Vibranium Daggers. Ayo gave Aneka a look of disappointment afterwards.The next day, Ramonda faced the United Nations and told them that they were still a threat even without the Black Panther. She brought out the Dora Milaje, who were holding the apperehended mercenaries. Ramonda used this to show the countries not to mess with them.[10]Later, Ramonda called a meeting when Namor infiltrated Wakanda. They wanted to discuss how that could have happened. Ayo stood next to the Queen as M'Baku and Okoye argued. Ramonda then told them to stop. M'Baku wanted to kill Namor, but they were hesitant. Okoye then brought Shuri to Cambridge to get a scientist that Namor wanted killed. Okoye returned, failing to get Williams, leading to Shuri's capture. Ramonda fired Okoye from her position as general as well as the Dora Milaje. Okoye and Ramonda argued, but Ramonda had enough, yelling at Okoye, who left in tears. Ayo was appointed general of the Dora Milaje. She was fitted with the traditional gold armor that generals wore.[10] Now the general, Ayo got word of Okoye trying to leave. She approached Okoye, who just wanted to get Shuri and make it right. Ayo tried to order her to stop, but Okoye kept walking. Ayo then called out her troops, who pointed spears at Okoye. Ayo respected Okoye and said she did not want her to be killed. Okoye gave herself up.[11]Suddenly, Talokan invaded Wakanda. The Birnin Zana soon flooded. The Talokanil used hypnotic chants to lure the patrols overboard. Ayo, Yama, and Nomble put on their ear plugs and charged at the patrols to save them. Yama threw an explosive into the water to kill the enemies. Ayo then got into a Royal Talon Fighter with Yama. They flew through the air and shot at Namor, who sliced the side of the ship, sending them crashing below. The fight ended with Ramonda dying, leading Shuri to become very distraught. Ayo attended Ramonda's funeral and carried out the casket, just as she did with T'Challa.[10]The Wakandans were relocated to Gorilla City for the time being. Suddenly, a Black Panther landed in the cave. They removed their mask to reveal it was Shuri, who managed to recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb. Wakanda rejoiced with the new Black Panther. Lead by Shuri, they lured the Talokanil to a ship in the ocean called the Sea Leopard.The fight started and they climbed up the walls of the boat to kill the Talokanil, using ropes to get up and down. Suddenly, a ship thrown by Namor came crashing down on top of them. The Dora Milaje and Talokanil exchanged blows while the ship nearly tipped over. They soon became cornered, leading M'Baku to pray for protection from the ancestors. Ayo admitted they might be joining them soon. Aneka said that they might as well take some enemies with them. Finally, Shuri and Namor returned, having struck a truce, stopping the fighting.[10]With a newfound peace, Ayo and Aneka rejoiced at her home. Aneka kissed Ayo on the head and Ayo thanked her. Later, they prepared for the incoronation of Shuri. They did the ritual until Shuri was meant to arrive. However, she had left Wakanda. Instead, M'Baku arrived, challenging to become the King.[10]Master Combatant: Ayo fighting against As a member of the Dora Milaje, Ayo received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. She is quite confident in her skills, confidently threatening Natasha Romanoff when she stood in T'Challa's way despite her being an exceptional and famous fighter in her own right. During the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Ayo defeated many warriors of the Border Tribe and survived uninjured. She even held off the stronger and highly trained assassin of Thanos Corvus Glaive and survived the fight despite being defeated. Her fighting skills were great enough to easily subdue John Walker, a highly decorated U.S. veteran who was chosen to be the next Captain America, and even get the better of a reluctant Bucky Barnes, disarming him by triggering the release mechanism for his bionic arm, a feat Barnes didn’t know was possible. She also fought the genetically-superior Talokanil. Spear Mastery: As a member of the Dora Milaje, Ayo is extremely skilled at using her Vibranium Spear in close quarters combat and as a long ranged weapon. She was able to easily defeat many warriors of the Border Tribe during the Battle of Mount Bashenga and even fight off Corvus Glaive with it. She is also accurate in throwing it, being able to precisely throw her spear at a fellow Dora to wield. Ayo was able to wield another Dora Milaje's spear with equal skill to using her own, dominating John Walker completely into the defensive and would have killed him had Barnes not stopped her and subsequently effectively using the spear to push back Barnes, even hitting his prosthetic arm with the tip, though Barnes was holding back as he wanted to talk instead of fighting. Master Tactician: Ayo is skilled at forming plans and leading the Dora Milaje when Okoye is not present. She ordered her warriors to attack John Walker and also lead the group when she guarded King T'Chaka and T'Challa at the Vienna International Centre. Once Okoye was demoted, Ayo became the leader of the Dora Milaje and led many strikes like the Attack on Birnin Zana and the Ambush on the Talokanil. Multilingualism: Ayo is fluent in her native Xhosa, as well as English and Russian.Equipment Weapons Vibranium Spear: Ayo uses a specialized Vibranium spear capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. Her spear along with others have been shown to be able to interact with technology by striking the ground with the blunt end, notably activating the drainage system for Warrior Falls. Other Equipment Kimoyo Beads: Like many Wakandans, Ayo had Kimoyo Beads she could use as a communication device. Dora Milaje Armor: Ayo wears the standard-issue uniform of the Dora Milaje. Later, when she became the General of the Dora Milaje, Ayo now wears a slightly more elaborated version of the Dora Milaje armor, notably with the epaulets, bracelets, and necklace being golden instead of silver. Being made of Vibranium weaves, the armor offers high durability and protection.Relationships Family Ala - Grandmother Assata - Cousin Allies Golden Tribe T'Chaka † - Former King Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King Shuri/Black Panther - Princess Dora Milaje - Subordinates Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Jemini Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Nakia Zuri † Wakandan Royal Guard Border Tribe - Temporary Enemies Jabari Tribe M'Baku M20 - Temporary Enemy Attaché Everett Ross Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier - Friend Avengers Steve Rogers/Captain America Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † Sam Wilson/Falcon/Captain America James Rhodes/War Machine Bruce Banner/Hulk Wanda Maximoff † Vision † Midnight Angels Okoye - Former Leader and Predecessor Aneka - Love Interest Riri Williams/Ironheart Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor - Former Attempted Killer Attuma Namora Enemies N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Former King W'Kabi - Former Ally Black Order Corvus Glaive † - Attempted Killer Helmut Zemo/Baron Zemo John Walker/Captain America - Situational Enemy Lemar Hoskins/Battlestar † - Situational Ene king namor/Ch'ah Toh Almehen King Ch'ah Toh Almehen is a Talokanil mutant who rules the underwater kingdom of Talokan. As he aged slowly and gained the respect of the Talokanil, they started to worship him as K'uk'ulkan.[4] Following his mother's death, he visited the surface world and witnessed the atrocities of Spanish colonization, causing him to take violent action, earning him the name Namor from his enemies. Determined to protect his people from the surface world, Namor felt threatened when the United States came close to discovering his country while searching for vibranium. Namor came into contact with Wakanda and proposed a military alliance, but the Golden Tribe resisted waging war against the world. In response, Namor led his people against Wakanda, claiming the life of Ramonda. He was ultimately defeated by Shuri, now the new Black Panther, and was forced to yield, still expecting that eventually Wakanda would ask for his help.Ch'ah Toh Almehen was born in 1571 as the son of Fen and an Aztec Purépecha pochteca mercenary spy[5] in the Yucatán. Prior to his birth, Fen, pregnant at the time, and her fellow tribesman of Mesoamericans became inflicted with smallpox brought by Spanish Conquistadores. To survive, the tribe consumed a blue plant found underwater in an attempt to alleviate their sickness. However, the plant was laced with traces of Vibranium, altering the tribe's anatomy and biology in the process.The tribe became the first Talokanil, retreating to the ocean to start their new lives there, away from the threats of the surface world. Shortly afterward, Almehen was born, with the effects of the plant Fen consumed causing him to undergo abnormal mutations such as winged feet, pointed ears and a human-like skin color.[2] He never knew his father.[5] Almehen would be recognized as the firstborn son of Talokan, as well as a mutant, and worshipped as their feathered Serpent God, K'uk'ulkan. As Almehen grew up, Fen told him stories about a place with clean air and water which was protected so that people would never have to leave.[2] She also told him the Aztec stories his father had once told her, including of the Aztec underworld paradise Tlālōcān, which inspired him in the naming of their underwater paradise, with the translation into their tongue of Yucatec Maya, "Talokan."[5]Per his mother's wishes, Almehen came to the surface with other Talokanil to bury her. They saw many Mayan people being abused as slaves for a plantation. Distraught, Almehen flew up into the air, scaring the settlers, who shot at him. Almehen did not care as he still flew, ordering the Talokanil to burn the The young Talokanil coldly watched as many settlers died and the village was burned. He then helped dig a hole in the ground, burying Fen, sticking an object in her mouth. A dying priest derisively called Almehen, "El Niño sin Amor", meaning "the child without love." Ch'ah Toh Almehen proceeded to take that as his name, Namor, as a warning to his enemies. This experience showed him how bad the surface world was and that he needed to protect his kind from it.[2]In the 20th century, Namor was in the ocean when he noticed a Mayan female and a man named Josue getting swept up in the current. He proceeded to save them.[6] Nearly half a millennium later, Namor located a Vibranium Detector under the ocean placed there by the United States. Angry, he sent his army after the people, killing Rita Salazar and Jackson in the process. Namor then let Attuma and Namora attack the ship while he stayed in the distance. When Dr. Graham and a pilot got away on a helicopter, Namor flew after them and grabbed the tail of the aircraft. He then spun it around in circles before slamming it into the water, killing the two passengers.[2]Angry at Wakanda, Namor quietly sneaked into Wakanda through the waters and met with Queen Ramonda and Princess Shuri. He complimented the place for its pristine air and natural waters before Ramonda asked who he was. He told them that he was known as the K'uk'ulkan, but his enemies called him Namor.He revealed to the two how T'Challa's choice of revealing Vibranium to the world compromised his nation and how he wanted Wakanda to capture the scientist who created the Vibranium Detector so that he could kill her. Namor knelt down, placing a conk shell on the sand. He told the two Wakandans to blow into it and place it into the water once they would have acquired the scientist, and he said he would be there shortly after. Before he jumped into the water and left, Namor warned Ramonda and Shuri not to mention anything about him to anyone outside of Wakanda.[2]Attuma and Namora successfully captured both Shuri and Riri Williams in Cambridge. They then brought the hostages back. As Namor painted, Shuri approached him. He talked to her about his past and how he got his name as well as Fen. He then gave her a high-pressure suit and led Shuri to a rift in the water. She dropped in, causing her to go flying with the current.Namor swam around Shuri and met her on the other side where they found a whale swimming above them. He then showed her all of Talokan. Shuri believed it was beautiful and was astonished at the technology, pointing out the vibranium buildings. Back in Namor's Cenote, Namor gave Shuri the bracelet of his mother as a gift for the first outsider in Talokan. Shuri took it as Namor talked about wanting to burn the world. Shuri refused, but Namor reminded her that he heard her say the same thing at the beach in Wakanda.[2]Namor was then contacted by Queen Ramonda and met her up at the beach. Ramonda wanted Shuri back, but Namor claimed that Shuri wanted to come to Talokan. Ramonda asked Namor what she could trade him for her. Namor politely told her there was nothing. Ramonda begged to differ and told him she would tell the United States of Talokan's presence. Namor got close to her, nearly in her face. He coldly told Ramonda that he would kill Shuri if it came to it.[2]Namor returned to his cenote and found a Talokanil on the ground, having been shot by Nakia, who rescued Shuri and Riri Williams. Realizing it was all a diversion, Namor grew angry. He called for a meeting in Talokan. Swimming down to his throne, he gave a speech, admitting to his fault of believing in an alliance, putting Talokan's safety in jeopardy. However, he promised to make it right, calling for war.[2Namor led his army into Wakanda. They flooded Birnin Zana as they invaded. Namor walked out of the water, witnessing the destruction. On the beach, Namora knelt to him, saying that the defenses had left, and it was his turn to strike. Suddenly, M'Baku leaped from behind. Namor noticed and put up his fist, blocking the attack and breaking M'Baku's club. He then swiftly turned around and punched M'Baku in the chest, sending him flying.Namor then raised his spear, calling for the Talokanil to go after civilians. He then flew up and attacked the aircrafts in the sky. Using his swiftness to maneuver in the air, he sliced many Royal Talon Fighters and Dragon Flyers before reaching Shuri and Aneka's Sunbird. He sliced the Sunbird, sending them into the water.Approaching Ramonda in the Citadel, Namor tried to pierce the glass with his spear, though his attack had little effect as Ramonda defiantly remained unfazed. Namor grew angry and flew away before returning with a hoard of Hydrobombs. He threw the bombs at the window, shattering it and sending Ramonda and Riri Williams flying. The bombs Namor threw caused the room to rapidly fill with water, sweeping Williams beneath the waves and forcing Ramonda to go under to save her. While she saved Williams, Ramonda ultimately drowned in the water and was unable to be resuscitated, leaving Shuri to anguish over her demise.Namor proclaimed that Ramonda was responsible for the conflict between the Wakandans and the Talokanil, and in one week's time, he would return with his entire army. Namor then gave the Wakandans a choice: join him, or else he would wash Wakanda from the face of the Earth. Namor coldly pointed at Shuri, telling her to bury the dead and mourn her losses as he declared her Queen while flying down to the water.[2]Back in Talokan, Namor was looking at the same conk shell in his hands while sitting in his throne. He was then approached and informed by Attuma and Namora that there was another Vibranium Detector that had been launched into the ocean. He and his forces approached the detector, only for it to emit a loud pulse. Namor plugged his ears, yelling for everyone to get to the surface. They quickly swam up to the top of the water, only to see the Sea Leopard, where the Wakandans staged an ambushNamor flew into the air as the Talokanil got to the ship. He approached a Dragon Flyer, slicing its side, then throwing it onto the boat. He then noticed Riri Williams in the air, now in her Ironheart armor, dodged her blasts before getting hit and trapped inside a Royal Talon Fighter. There, he encountered Shuri, now the Black Panther. Namor did not think much of it until he started feeling sick. He looked up to see heat rays coming at him. Black Panther announced that she was there for retribution.Namor quickly rammed his spear into the ship. The raw Vibranium sliced through the ship. Black Panther attacked and they had a prolonged fight, dodging each other's blows. Namor then made a desperation push, to get Black Panther away before slamming the ship, causing it to explode, expelling them onto a desert beach.On the surface, the two fought more, but Black Panther could not find Namor at first. The king charged from the sky, taking her out many times without her even seeing him. He then grabbed Black Panther and flew her into the air with him. They exchanged punches into the air until Namor flew Black Panther into the ground, tackling her. He repeatedly punched Black Panther until she sliced off his ankle wing, causing Namor immense pain as he screamed, ripped it off his leg and flipped him over to the ground.He flew at Black Panther using his three wings and punched her against the wall, but after a few punches, Black Panther blocked his next punch and clawed at his back before emitting energy. Shuri proceeded to gain the upper hand by knocking him to the ground a few times with kicks, before approaching him with her claws. However, Namor crawled to his spear and impaled Shuri with it. He noted that his deal with Shuri back in Talokan could have been different if not for the chaos. Although he wanted to finish her off, he was more worried about getting to the water. He dodged an incoming attack before facing Shuri, putting up his fists to fight. Instead, she yelled "Wakanda forever" and caused an explosion, making Namor fall over in flames.Shuri used her feet to flip Namor over, so his back was on the ground, and then took Namor's spear and pointed it at his neck. However, she paused for a moment and surprised Namor, giving him a chance to yield. She said if he did not yield, she would destroy Talokan. Namor graciously did yield and formed a new alliance. Shuri and Namor flew back to the battle where Namor yelled for his army to stop fighting. They did so and knelt to him.[2]With the war concluded, Namor returned to his nation alongside the rest of the Talokanil warriors who assisted him in battle. While painting a new mural on his wall reflecting his conflict with Wakanda, a disappointed Namora entered his cenote. She expressed disillusionment at the conflict's outcome and her king's decision to form a peaceful pact with a nation on the surface world.Namor exclaimed that Black Panther had every reason to kill him for his actions against her family and people, and that his defeat was inevitable due to Black Panther being the strongest individual within Earth's most technologically powerful nation. He then confidently reassured Namora that should the time come when Wakanda came into conflict with intervening world powers, they would turn to Talokan for help in defeating them.[2]Talokanil Mutant Physiology: Namor is unique among the Talokanil in which his physiology is vastly different compared with his people. Unlike his people who are only able to breathe in water, Namor is able to breathe both on land and in water through a form of diffusion which allows him to "breathe" through his skin. His strength is directly proportional to the amount of water he exposed. In other words, the more Namor is exposed to water, the stronger he gets. However, there are some drawbacks with this power, as for Namor to maintain that high level of strength, he has to occasionally return to a wet environment in order to regain his strength, and he is also susceptible to environment with high evaporation rates like deserts or hot climates due to the fact it removes the water from his body at an increased rate.Superhuman Strength: Namor striking Shuri Namor possesses immense superhuman strength, numerous times stronger than any other Talokanil. According to M'Baku, Namor's physical strength might rival that of Hulk. This exceptional strength was demonstrated when he used his raw power to fling and rotate a helicopter mid-air into the ocean. Namor used his strength to throw a Dragon Flyer at other ship with ease, slice Ayo's Royal Talon Fighter in half with his spear, pierce through a hole in the glass window of the throne room in Wakanda, and also hurl multiple Hydrobombs toward the throne room to flood it. He was also able to slice two Dragon Flyers with his spear, throwing one of them at the Sea Leopard. During his fight against Black Panther, despite being significantly weakened from dehydration, he was still able to overpower her and even pierce his spear right through her stomach despite her wearing the Panther Habit. Superhuman Durability: Namor's skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, making him nigh-invulnerable, much more than a regular Talokanil, which is more effective when he is in contact with water. During his attack on Wakanda, when M'Baku tried to use his staff to attack Namor from behind, Namor simply raised his hand and broke the staff as it hit him. When Ironheart attacked him right in the chest with a full powered blast, Namor did not seem to receive any form of physical damage. Even when dehydrated and without water nearby, he was able to withstand multiple attacks from Black Panther, a kinetic energy pulse at point-black range that pulverized a massive stone boulder and being burnt in the back, before finally falling down to the ground. Superhuman Speed: Both in water and land, Namor can move at incredible superhuman speeds. He was able to get from Talokan in the Atlantic Ocean to Wakanda in Africa in a matter of hours. While attacking Wakanda, Namor was able to run and swim fast enough to dodge fire from Shuri and Aneka's ship, impressing them both with his speed. During his battle with Black Panther, Namor was able to land blows that even Shuri did not see coming, being able to control the Wakandan Princess for most of the battle, as well as block several of her attacks with ease. Superhuman Agility: In both water and land, Namor possesses naturally more agility, equilibrium, balance and body coordination than a normal human and most of his species. He is able to perform superhuman and acrobatic feats in air and in water. Superhuman Stamina: While in contact with water, Namor's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human and most of the other Talokanil. As a result, his muscles virtually do not produce fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to humans and other members of his race. His virtually inexhaustible endurance allows him to exercise his maximum capacity for an indefinite period of time without tiring at all. He was able to leap between structures, dive into the water and resurface multiple times during his attack on Wakanda and still do not show signs of fatigue or tiredness. However, Namor can still get easily tired if his body dries up completely and does not come contact with water, although he was still able to fight Shuri for a long period of time. Superhuman Reflexes: Namor's reflexes allow him to react and dodge objects and attacks at high speed. While attacking Wakanda, Namor was able to block the Wakandan ships' fire with his spear. During the battle at the Sea Leopard, Namor was able to dodge most of Ironheart's energy blasts with ease. Namor was also able to block M'Baku's attack, even while being attacked from behind. Enhanced Vision: Namor possesses enhanced vision that is far better than humans, allowing him to see clearly even in the depths of the ocean. Enhanced Hearing: Namor possesses much greater hearing than a human and any other Talokanil, being able to hear Ramonda and Shuri's conversation even while underwater. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's resistance, Namor could still be injured like any other Talokanil. However, his metabolism enabled him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with great speed, which is more effective when he is in contact with water. After having his back completely burned by a Wakandan ship's explosion, Namor was able to regenerate shortly after. Longevity: Unique in his people, due to his mutant physiology, Namor is able to live much longer than any other Talokanil. Despite being born in the 1500s, Namor still looks like a man in his thirties. Flight: Thanks to a pair of feather wings on both ankles, Namor is able to fly. His ability to fly combined with his superhuman agility allowed Namor to easily dodge any aerial attacks against him and perform acrobatic attacks with ease. Aquatic Adaptation: Aside from being able to breathe normally at the surface, Namor is capable of breathing underwater by absorbing the oxygen of the water through his skin, and his body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting him specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures. He possesses a highly developed vision to see clearly even in the near-total darkness of the ocean floor, and he can also hear underwater as well as humans do on land. Aquatic Telepathy: Like any other Talokanil, Namor can mentally communicate with marine life and persuade them to do his bidding. Hypnosis: Namor, as well as other Talokanil can create a sound that hypnotize his victims, leading them to jump into the water, where they will drown. However, this can be stopped by a loud sound. Wallcrawling: Namor is able to crawl on any type of walls. Abilities Namor is a dangerous and formidable foe in hand-to-hand combat. He is able to defeat great warriors such as M'Baku and the new Black Panther, only retreating due to Shuri's usage of technology and dry land. Spear Mastery: Namor is skilled with his spear in close quarters combat. He was capable of using the spear to protect himself against blasts from many Wakandan ships, as well as destroying multiple of the ships on his own. Master Acrobat: Namor is highly flexible and skilled in acrobatics. He was able to perform many maneuvers while fighting Wakandan ships, easily evading their attacks. Along with this, he was able to perform many flips and spins while fighting Shuri.Master Tactician: By means of harassment and tactics, Namor is able to keep the existence of Talokan a secret to all other people. He is also a formidable tactician in that he devises attack strategies in attacking surface mining vessels and orchestrated the attack on Wakanda, which devastated the country. He is also quick in realizing that an alliance with Wakanda could bring interest and tactical value to Talokan. Multilingualism: Namor is fluent in his native Yucatec Maya, as well as English, Spanish, and some Latin.Weapons Spear: Namor frequently used a vibranium spear in combat. He used it to destroy Wakandan ships during the Attack on Birnin Zana, along with using it to fight against Shuri in the Ambush on the Talokanil, using the spear to impale Shuri. Hydrobomb: Namor used these explosives to attack the Citadel, flooding the throne room inside which drowned Ramonda. Other Equipment Headdress: Namor's ceremonial helmet is worn when he speaks as King of Talokan to his people. For example, he wears it when he tells the Talokanil that he is going to war with Wakanda. Much like his original namesake, K'uk'ulkan, Namor's helmet represents a feathered serpent. Facilities Talokan Capital City: Namor is the King of the underwater city and resides inside of it. He led the city's army into war against the Wakandans. Cenote: Namor kept Shuri and Riri Williams here after capturing them.

Eventually, she grew to become his second-in-command, and advised him on national matters along with fellow Talokanil, Attuma.[1]The Talokanil found Americans mining for Vibranium in the oceans. They ambushed the ship and used their mind control to have many Humans jump overboard. Attuma, Namora, and another Talokanil then jumped onto the boat with Attuma striking Smitty in the chest. Graham then shot at Attuma, but it did nothing, so she ran. Attuma told them to chase her. Namora and the other Talokanil chased Graham down to the helicopter pad. As the helicopter arrived, Namora tried to jump on, but was shot at, causing her to fall. Graham then lifted off with her pilot. However, they did not get far as Namor took the helicopter out of the air and threw it into the water.[1]Namor met with Ramonda and gave her an ultimatum to help him kill the scientist who made a Vibranium Detector. Worried that they would help the scientist rather than kill her, Namor sent the troops out to Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Talokanil arrived on their giant whale and attacked Shuri, Okoye, and Riri Williams. They threw a Hydrobomb at the group, causing them to flip over. As Attuma fought Okoye, Namora ran to take care of the police. Namora did so and easily killed them using her spear skills. When she returned, she saw that Okoye was still not defeated. Annoyed, she told Attuma to stop playing games and threw him a water bomb. Attuma then deflected it into Okoye, sending her off the bridge. They then took Shuri to Talokan.[1]In Talokan, Namora greeted Riri Williams and Shuri in Namor's cenote. She gave Shuri clothes so that she could meet with Namor. Later, after Namor showed Shuri Talokan and wanted to have an alliance, Namora showed up out of the water to inform Namor that he had been summoned outside of Talokan. Not long after Shuri's rescue, an angry Namor spoke to all of Talokan, telling them they were going to war, and it was his fault that he exposed them to Shuri.[1]Namor led the charge as Talokanil invaded Wakanda. They flooded the place and met with Namor on the sand. Namora knelt to him and reported that defenses had been led away, so it was Namor's turn to do his thing. M'Baku then attacked from behind, but Namor easily disposed of him before calling for more attacks. In the end, Namor killed Queen Ramonda.[1]Later, Namora and Attuma informed Namor that there was another Vibranium Detector in the ocean. They located the Vibranium Detector in the Atlantic Ocean, and Namor led his army to it. When he approached it, the detector let out a loud noise, causing Namor to order everyone to get out of the water. They all swam up, only to see the Sea Leopard above the water; it was an ambush. As everyone attacked the boat, climbing up the sides, Namora stayed below the water and found the sonic emitter. She worked hard to break it before placing a Hydrobomb in it, blowing up the emitter.The whales then arrived with loads of water bombs, which blew up the bottom of the ship, causing it to tip over as Black Panther and Namor battled in the distance. This sent Wakandans overboard into the water where they could get the upper hand. Namora killed many Wakandans until she saw Ironheart swimming after her. Namora then grabbed onto Ironheart, flying into the air with her.Namora struggled to stay on the back of Ironheart, but was able to gain the upper hand by trapping her neck with her spear. Suddenly, Ironheart got Namora to get in front of her, using this opportunity to blast Namora with her blasters, sending Namora into the sea below and away from the boat. Soon, Namor returned, making peace with Shuri.[1]In the aftermath, a disappointed Namora approached Namor in his cenote. Namor was more at peace, now that the war was over. She voiced her concerns, saying he said he was going to fight with her. Namor assured Namora that the new alliance was better for Talokan in the long run, especially since they could maybe rule the world together in the future.[1]Talokanil Physiology: Like all Talokanil, Namora is an aquatic being with superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and accelerated healing. She is also capable of emitting a hypnotic sonic attack with her voice. Enhanced Strength: Namora possesses an enhanced strength much greater than a normal human, being able to destroy a Vibranium sonic device in the Sea Leopard, and holding herself in Ironheart's back during a long time. Enhanced Durability: Namora's body is more resistant to physical damage than the body of a normal human being. Enhanced Speed: Underwater, Namora can swim and move at incredible superhuman speeds. On the surface, Namora can still move quickly, but not as fast as in the water. Enhanced Agility: In both underwater and land, Namora naturally possesses more agility, balance, and body coordination than a normal human being. Enhanced Stamina: During battle, Namora is able to last for a long period of time without slowing down. Enhanced Reflexes: In both water and land, Namora can dodge objects traveling at high speeds, as demonstrated when she parried a policeman's bullets with her spear. Enhanced Vision: As a being that lives underwater, Namora has very good vision, capable of seeing in water more than a regular human eye. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her body's resistance, Namora could still be injured like any other Talokanil. However, her metabolism enabled her to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with great speed, which is more effective when she is in contact with water. Aquatic Adaptation: Namora is capable of breathing underwater by absorbing the oxygen of the water through the gills on her neck, and her body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting her specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures. She possesses a highly developed vision to see clearly even in the near-total darkness of the ocean floor, and can also hear underwater as well as humans do on land. Aquatic Telepathy: Like any other Talokanil, Namora can mentally communicate with marine life and persuade them to do her bidding. Hypnosis: Namora, as well as other Talokanil, can sing which can hypnotize her victims, leading them to jump into the water, where they will drown. However, this can be stopped by a loud sound. Wallcrawling: Namora is able to crawl on any type of walls. Abilities "Líik'ik Talokan![10]" ―Namora[src] Master Combatant: As a Talokanil warrior, Namora received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. Spear Mastery: Namora is skilled with her spear in combat. She was capable of using the spear to kill police officers during the Chase of Riri Williams, as well as using it to fight Riri Williams at the Ambush on the Talokanil. "Ixmejen ajao. Waaye' e'hala ix'winecobo'. Ts'ook wo’lale'x tsikbanako'n."[11] "Do you understand her?" "Not completely." ―Namora, Riri Williams, and Shuri[src] Multilingualism: Namora is fluent in her native Yucatec Maya, as well as English. Equipment Weapons Spear: Namora frequently used the spear in combat. She used it when attacking Riri Williams, as well as using it to fight Wakadans during the Ambush on the Talokanil. Hydrobomb: Namora used these explosives to blow up the sonic emitter on the Sea Leopard. Other Equipment Talokanil Rebreather: Enables her to breathe on the land.

When they found a Vibranium Detector in the ocean, Attuma and his army went to stop the humans. They swiftly killed Jackson and Rita Salazar before using hypnotic chants to force the Humans overboard. Attuma then dragged Henderson off the ship before jumping out of the water with Namora.Attuma powerfully sent a spear through the heart of Smitty. Walking over to his victim, he coldly ripped the spear out of the wall. He then faced Graham who started shooting at him, stunned to see it did not pierce his skin. Attuma then told his army to chase after her.[1]Namor sent the Talokanil to Cambridge to capture Riri Williams, as well as Princess Shuri. Attuma and Namora arrived on the bridge, throwing a Hydrobomb at the group. Attuma then faced Okoye and saw her plow through his men. He called her warrior, as a sign of respect. He was told by Namora to kill Williams while she would take care of the cops.As she did that, Attuma fought Okoye, exchanging blows. Attuma was impressed with Okoye's skill, but still took her down by slamming her into her own spear. He then took her spear and passed it back to her, taunting Okoye. She took the spear and fought again but was outmatched. He then picked up her spear once again and told her she was not worth his own ax. He went to kill her, but she shocked him with her tech. Namora then returned, telling Attuma to stop playing games. Attuma then deflected a water bomb at Okoye, sending her over the bridge. He then took off his Talokanil Rebreather and gave it to Shuri, telling her to breathe before taking her to Talokan.[1]When Shuri was broken out, Namor talked to the nation of Talokan and told them it was his fault for exposing them to Wakanda. He vowed to take Wakanda down. The army arrived in Wakanda and sent a tidal wave into the main city. As all commotion broke loose, Attuma got to high ground and scouted out Okoye. He called for her, saying "warrior" once again. She merely looked at him before saving children. The invasion ended with Queen Ramonda's death.[1]Later, Attuma and Namora informed Namor that there was another Vibranium Detector in the ocean. They located the Vibranium Detector in the Atlantic Ocean, and Namor led his army to it. They approached it, but it emitted a loud frequency. The army arose from the ocean only to see the Sea Leopard in front of them. Black Panther led the charge against the Talokanil. Namora was eventually able to tip the boat, sending Wakandans into the water so they can gain an advantage. Attuma then made it to the top of the boat and was met by Okoye in her Midnight Angel Armor. She started speaking Yucatec Maya, calling him "warrior." He was impressed that she now spoke his mother tongue, but fought her, nonetheless, briefly gaining an upper hand. They fought some more as Attuma told her it was time to greet her ancestors. Later in the fight, Okoye repeated the same thing back to him before blasting him off the edge of the ship. Finally, the fighting stopped when Namor and Black Panther returned, calling an alliance.[1]Powers "They were blue. And they had superhuman strength. And they came from the water on the backs of whales. I struck down three of them with blows that should've killed them, but they rose again." ―Okoye[src] Talokanil Physiology: Like all Talokanil, Attuma is an aquatic being with superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and accelerated healing. He is also capable of emitting a hypnotic sonic attack with his voice. Superhuman Strength: Attuma possesses enhanced strength. His blows are strong enough that even Okoye with her powerful Vibranium Spear was unable to contain it without being stunned and exhausted. Superhuman Durability: Attuma is more durable than humans. He was unfazed when Graham fired her gun at close-to-medium range. Superhuman Speed: Thanks to living underwater, Attuma is very fast at swimming and is also fast on land. Superhuman Agility: In the water, Attuma has enhanced agility that allows him to dodge his enemies. Superhuman Stamina: During battle, Attuma finds himself being able to last for a long duration without slowing down. Superhuman Reflexes: Attuma is able to dodge several of Okoye's strikes with her spear without much effort. Enhanced Vision: As a being that lives underwater, Attuma has very good vision, capable of seeing in water more than a regular human eye.

Abilities "Chi'kunalook estali'niti ta'witi.[9]" ―Attuma to Okoye[src] Master Combatant: As a Talokanil warrior, Attuma received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. He is quite confident in his skills, calling Okoye for a fight every time that they see each other, and even returned the latter's spear during their first confrontation. Attuma accurately knocked a water bomb in her direction with his hip similar to a game played by Talokanil children.[10] Attuma defeats Okoye during their first interaction. Attuma using his axe in combat against Attuma using his axe in combat against Okoye Axe Mastery: As a Talokanil warrior, Attuma is extremely skilled at using his axe in close quarters combat and as a long-ranged weapon. He was able to defeat many Wakandan warriors and CIA agents. He is also accurate in throwing it, being able to precisely throw his spear to pierce Smitty. "The people who took her spoke Yucatec Mayan." ―Griot to Ramonda[src] Multilingualism: Attuma is fluent in his native Yucatec Maya, as well as English. Equipment Weapons Axe: Attuma uses a specialized axe capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. Talokanil Spear: Attuma used a spear during the Attack on the Harvey Sub-Sea, where he threw it at Smitty, killing him. Vibranium Spear: Attuma did not want to kill Okoye with his axe, deeming her unworthy, so he attempted to use her own weapon against her. However, he was prevented from doing so because the latter used her Kimoyo Beads to shock the handle. Other Equipment Talokanil Rebreather: When going out of water onto land, Attuma uses the respirator to survive, as it enables him to breathe on the land, being filled with water. Attuma gave his respirator to Shuri, removing the water, to allow her to return to Talokan with him. Facilities Talokan Capital City: Attuma lives in the underwater city as a high-ranking warrior.

As one of her projects was used by the CIA to find vibranium outside Wakanda, Williams found herself threatened by Namor, since her invention put Talokan in danger of being exposed to the surface world. Targeted by both Talokanil and the United States Government, Williams was approached by Shuri and the Wakandans, which later escalated into a war between Wakanda and Talokan. Ironheart helped the Wakandans in the final battle, using a new armor, made with Wakandan technology, and returned to the U.S. after the conflict. Williams continued her side hustle to get enough money to construct the armor of her dreams, which eventually resulted in her getting expelled from MIT and returning to Chicago. Williams did not abandon her dream and continued working on a suit, while being approached by Hood, who promised her money for working for his gang. Despite warnings from N.A.T.A.L.I.E., an A.I. accidentally created in the image of her late best friend Natalie Washington, Williams continued working for Hood, but soon realized that she and her loved ones were in danger. Being confronted by the threats of magic, Ironheart managed to overcome her deep-seated fear and defeated Hood, before being approached by Mephisto, who resurrected Washington for her as a part of their deal.Riri Williams was born to Ronnie Williams in 2005, with her father having passed away.[1] She grew up in Chicago[5] and started building machines at the age of three.[6] She learned a lot about mechanics from Gary, her stepfather who wanted to build airplanes. She often took his tools and just fidget with his airplanes.[5] Together, she and her dad worked on a Plymouth Barracuda. One day at the auto shop, Gary kissed her on the forehead as she was on the ground. She graduated ninth grade at the age of eleven. Riri was constantly making the news headlines, and constantly had articles written in the Chicago Tribune about her. At the age of twelve, she became the youngest ever to win at the Chicago Science Fair with a Robo-Dog, and had an article written by the Chicago Central City Press about her victory. During her childhood she befriended Natalie Washington. In 2018, Williams survived the Snap. As a teenager, she attended South Shore International College Preparatory High School, and, due to her genius mind, graduated in 2020, and started college at the age of fifteen.[1] Attack at Gary's Auto Repair In 2020, Williams, Gary Williams, and Natalie Washington were spending time together at Gary's Auto Repair in Chicago. Gary was working on a car engine while Riri questioned why he rebuilt the engine instead of taking an easier approach. Gary jokingly explained that he did it simply because he could. Meanwhile, Riri and Washington were laughing and imagining taking the car on road trips together. However, their conversation was abruptly interrupted when an unidentified assailant drove past the repair shop and opened fire. Gary immediately shouted for the girls to run and attempted to shield Washington from the gunfire, while Riri managed to take cover behind a car door. Washington froze in shock as Riri desperately screamed for her and Gary. Despite Gary's attempts to protect Washington, both were hit by the gunfire, leaving Riri as the sole survivor of the three.[1] Williams froze in shock as emergency services arrived minutes late and was deeply upset by the incidentFresh out of high school, Williams was accepted into and attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she settled into her single dorm and soon ran a business. She completed other students' homework for money, with the money being electronically transferred to her. Williams later became infatuated with creating her own Iron Man-style armor and worked on it intermittently in a Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage. She also set up a very sophisticated computer password that she accidentally locked herself out of, which took her her a semester to regain access. At the age of nineteen, Williams designed a Vibranium Detector, which she created using scraps of junk, after her professor believed that she would never be able to build it.[5]In May 2025, Williams approached her friend, who did not pay her for the homework she had done for him. She swiftly took his phone and transferred the money herself. She then went back to her dorm where she met Princess Shuri from Wakanda, who she instantly recognized. Williams wondered if she was being recruited, but Shuri revealed that she was there in regard to the Vibranium Detector. The two discussed the machine until Williams wondered if she had upset the Wakandans, so Shuri clarified it was not just them and that Williams was no longer safe and had to leave with her immediately. Williams became worried and tried to escape through the bathroom, but was blocked by Okoye, who had been hiding there the whole time. Williams demanded they leave her dorm and threw a speaker at Okoye, but she sliced it in half. Shuri went to leave, informing Williams that she would have to deal with Namor alone, so Williams decided to go with them.[5]Williams brought Okoye and Shuri to the Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage, where she told them not to touch anything. Williams collected her computer, explaining that it had her life's work on it. Griot notified them that the FBI had arrived and were surrounding the garage, demanding Williams to step out.Williams became annoyed that the FBI had been led to her garage, putting all her work at risk, so she began burning her designs. Shuri and Okoye discussed their next course of actions, so Williams revealed her suit, stating she would be using it to escape. Shuri gave Williams a wireless transmitter so they could communicate before entering Williams' stepfather's car with Okoye. Williams suited up, and when the FBI breached the garage, she fired a shot at them before flying outside through an opening in the roof.Griot noted that there was a surveillance drone tracking them, so Williams went to destroy it, working out the calculations so that it would crash into the police blocking the bridge. Williams successfully shot the drone out of the sky, however, she passed out from lack of oxygen and began plummeting towards the water. Williams regained consciousness before crashing and regrouped with Shuri and Okoye at the bridge. But, Williams was knocked out by the Talokanil, who took her and Shuri to Talokan.[5]Williams woke up in a cave and panicked, so Shuri tried to calm her down. Williams asked if a Black Panther would be sent to rescue them, but Shuri informed her that there were no more Black Panthers. Namora entered and told Shuri to come with her, causing Williams to worry about being left alone. When Shuri returned, she revealed to Williams that Namor intended to go to war with the surface and he wanted Wakanda to fight with him. They were then rescued by Nakia, who arrived and shot the two guards, allowing them to escape back to the surface, where they were picked up by a Royal Talon Fighter.[5]Williams was brought to Wakanda, where she met Queen Ramonda and was shown to the Citadel. Suddenly, Wakanda fell under attack by the Talokanil, so Williams assisted Ramonda in using the high-tech windows to help civilians. They were confronted by Namor, who used a Hydrobomb to attack them, flooding the room. Williams was saved from drowning by Ramonda, and was quickly resuscitated, only to discover that the Queen had died saving her.[5]Following the funeral, Williams approached Shuri and told her that Ramonda's sacrifice made her feel the need to help them stop Namor. Shuri stated they needed to weaken Namor, and that she would become the next Black Panther. Williams and Shuri discussed Namor's physiology and figured out that heat would weaken him, so Shuri placed Williams in charge of converting the Royal Talon Fighter into a trap for himAs Williams worked on the trap, she also built herself new armor, which Shuri consulted on. During the process, Williams and Shuri bonded over how they were introduced to building things. When Shuri successfully recreated the Heart-Shaped Herb, Williams and Nakia helped her take it, with Williams worried about the dangers of the ritual. When Shuri awoke, they discovered Shuri's newfound strength, making Williams express her desire to also take the Herb.[5]Black Panther led the Wakandans to ambush the Talokanil on the Sea Leopard. Creating another Vibranium Detector, Williams used it to lure the Talokanil. When Namor appeared, Williams attacked him, but he soon overwhelmed her, so she requested assistance from Griot. The Royal Talon Fighter was flown in and captured Namor after Williams disoriented him with a blast.Williams informed the others of Namor's capture and went to help the rest of the Wakandans fight off the Talokanil. When Williams went underwater, Namora grabbed onto the suit and began attacking it, so Williams resurfaced and attempted to shake her off. Williams managed to get Namora in front of her, allowing her to blast her enemy with a chest beam. Williams regrouped with the rest of the Wakandans, but were soon outnumbered and surrounded. Fortunately, Black Panther returned with Namor and they announced their truce, ending the war between them.[5]No longer in danger, Williams went back to Wakanda and prepared to return home. Shuri spoke with Williams before she left, telling her that she would not be allowed to leave with her new armor, which Williams understood. Shuri then revealed that she had repaired Williams' stepfather's car, which would be transported back to Boston with her. Williams invited Shuri to come with her, but she informed her of other business she had deal with.[5]owers Ironheart Armor Capabilities: Williams uses a set of technologically advanced armors which provides her of the ability to flight and grant her superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina and reflexes. The armors also possess energy repulsors and other offensive weapons. Superhuman Strength: With her armors, Williams can enhance her strength to superhuman levels, enough to defeat Talokanil soldiers and Namora. Superhuman Durability: With her armors, Williams can withstand tremendous amounts of punishment. Her first armor was durable enough to withstand bullets and brute force, and most impressively, a fall from 30,000 feet (over five miles). Her second armor made of vibranium was incredibly durable against Namora's weapons. Superhuman Speed: With her armors, the thrusters grants Riri to move as super fast distances with supports of the repulsors. Superhuman Agility: With her armors, despite the heavy metal is incredibly agile to allow Williams to perform evasive Superhuman Stamina: To be added Superhuman Reflexes: To be added Flight: Riri's armor has the innate ability of flight, capable of soaring through the air and even high altitudes to reach near outer space. Power Suit: Using designs of Stark blueprints, Williams came up with a sustainable arc reactor to power all her own suit’s operating functions to successfully remain active.

Whoever built this is brilliant. Come, look. Some are custom parts and others look like they gathered it from a junkyard." ―Shuri[src] Genius-Level Intellect: Williams is a child prodigy who attends the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had been "running circles around" all of her professors according to Everett Ross. She was referred to as "brilliant" by Shuri; given that the latter is the smartest person in the world,[10] this is high praise. Riri creates a new Riri creates a new Ironheart armor

Master Engineer: Williams was three years old when she built her first machine, with encouragement from her stepfather. She built the vibranium detector for her metallurgy class in the span of a couple months using custom parts and others gathered from a junkyard. According to Doctor Graham, the machine had less than a one in a billion chance of finding the substance, but it worked. Shuri learned that it could detect the altered frequency of vibranium through water, stones, and even heavy metals. She also corrected the grip algorithm of one of her coed's robotic hands in exchange for payment, and fixed a few trucks for the head of sanitation. She built a functional quantum computer to crack her own encryption. Master Scientist: Williams' differential equations class allowed her to find Euler angles while flying her suit and take down a federal surveillance drone. Still, it is very dependent on its own scientific field, in this case engineering, which prevented it from advancing in the research of the Hood's Cloak. Master Hacker: Williams impressed Shuri with the 2065-byte encryption on her laptop and had to build a functional quantum computer to crack it when she was locked out.

She got a Iron Man suit!" ―FBI Officer[src] Ironheart Armor: Mark I: Williams uses blueprints from Stark technology to craft her own design of Iron Man armor, where Mark I can shoot repulsors and fly powered through an arc reactor shaped like a heart. Ironheart Armor: Mark II: With aid of the Wakandan technology Riri designs a second model of Ironheart suit completely of vibranium, heads up display, including better weaponry more advanced than the suit that it can even travel underwater. Ironheart Armor: Mark III: Using her grant money as a student at MIT, she developed the third iteration of Ironheart Armor, which was less weapons capable due to it's prototyped nature. It also featured a heads up display, and supersonic flight capabilities, and a basic life support system. Ironheart Armor: Mark IV: Recollecting the pieces of her broken Mark lll, she uses replacement parts to reassemble her Mark lV suit to install N.A.T.A.L.I.E. as new A.I program to operate it for missions stealing from high-tech corporations. Ironheart Armor: Mark V: With help from family and peers Riri took parts of her stepdad‘s old car that was refurbished with Wakandan technology to craft armor Mark V with the exception of mixing it with magic. Other Equipment Vibranium Detector: As a project for school, Williams crafted a device capable of detecting minerals underwater so powerful that it can even detect vibranium, thus why the CIA used it for operations. Projection Necklace: To get her AI assistant (N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) to cooperate, Williams developed a device capable of projecting a holographic avatar of N.A.T.A.L.I.E., which can be worn as a necklace to do so in public without rousing suspicion. Bio-Mesh Skin: To be Added Hood's Cloak: To be addedFacilities Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Williams is a student at MIT known to use her education and dedication to her role of being a gifted inventor. Riri Williams' Studio Apartment: Williams lived in a studio apartment on campus. Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage: As a result of her providing mechanical assistance to the Head of Sanitation of Cambridge's Department of Public Works, Riri was allowed to use their garage near campus to hold all her personal projects, including her Ironheart armor. Shuri's Lab: Assigned by Shuri, Williams was provided a work station to help build defenses against Namor while at the same time building her first advanced version Ironheart suit. Citadel: Under protective custody of Wakanda, Riri was escorted by Queen Ramonda in the Citadel during the attack by the Talokanil.Relationships Family Ronnie Williams - Mother Father † Gary Williams † - Stepfather Allies Natalie Washington - Best Friend Xavier Washington - Close Friend Jim South Shore International College Preparatory School Amber Langson Chicago Central City Press Jennifer Clark Massachusetts Institute of Technology Choi - Former Dean Wilkes - Former Professor Braden - Friend and Former Classmate Jaden - Friend and Former Classmate Aiden - Former Classmate Caden - Friend and Former Classmate Chrissy Bisesi - Former Classmate Harini - Friend and Former Classmate Kacey Shepherd Golden Tribe Ramonda † - Savior Shuri/Black Panther - Friend and Savior Dora Milaje Ayo Nomble Yama Aneka Jemini Griot Wakandan Design Group River Tribe Nakia Jabari Tribe M'Baku Midnight Angels Okoye Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor - Former Attempted Killer Attuma Namora - Former Attempted Killer and Former Kidnapper Landon - Friend Madeline Stanton Stuart Clarke/Rampage † N.A.T.A.L.I.E. † - Creation, Friend, and Savior Zelma Stanton - Friend Mephisto Enemies FBI - Situational Enemies Cambridge Police Department - Situational Enemies Chicago Police Department TNNL Sheila Zarate Wilbur Heirlum Biotechnologies Hunter Mason † Hood's Gang - Former Allies and Attempted Killers Parker Robbins/Hood - Former Leader John King † Slug Clown - Former Friend Jeri Blood Roz Blood Ezekiel Stane - Former Friend and Former Attemp Everett K. ross: Everett Kenneth Ross is a former CIA special officer and a former Deputy Task Force Commander for the Joint Terrorism Task Force.

After Tony Stark revealed that Helmut Zemo was the one to blame for those attacks as Zemo was apprehended by the Black Panther, before Ross took Zemo into custody. Once he left the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre, Ross had then been tasked with tracking down Ulysses Klaue, which had put Ross back into contact with T'Challa, who was seeking to recapture Klaue for crimes in his past. Upon being mortally wounded by Erik Killmonger, Ross was nursed back to health by Shuri in Wakanda, where Ross had then discovered all the technological advancements due to their mining of vibranium. During his time at Wakanda, Ross also witnessed Killmonger taking control and, due to owing T'Challa a debt for saving his life, then aided the Black Panther with defeating Killmonger's forces. As a result, Ross then supported T'Challa as he began sharing Wakanda's true wealth with the rest of their world. As the tensions between Wakanda and the United States became prominent, Ross was approached by Shuri and Okoye who needed his help as Namor got involved. As he owed Shuri his life, Ross disclosed sensitive information about Riri Williams and the search of vibranium, and continued his attempt to de-escalate the situation between Wakanda and America. However, his situation got serious, when Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, his ex-wife and the CIA Director, got involved. Ross provided Ramonda about the United States' plans for Wakanda; however, de Fontaine found out and had Ross arrested, before he was rescued by Okoye. By 2026, Ross had had his likeness stolen and had been imprisoned in Russia by Skrulls plotting an invasion of Earth. When the invasion was halted by Nick Fury and G'iah, Ross, along with other copied humans, was rescued from captivity and returned to the United States. Valentia allegra de fontanine: Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is a noblewoman, chairwoman of O.X.E. and the Director of the CIA. Interested in privatizing global security and gaining power within the United States government, de Fontaine sought out to recruit or create powerful individuals to serve as her enforcers. De Fontaine personally recruited John Walker, who had lost his position as Captain America, and Yelena Belova, who was feeling lost after losing her sister, among others. When political tensions arose between the United States and Wakanda, with the U.S. wishing to obtain vibranium for themselves, de Fontaine assigned her ex-husband and subordinate Everett Ross, who strongly opposed any offensive actions against Wakanda, to work with her. However, de Fontaine knew Ross would betray them and arrested him for committing treason after she gained evidence of him giving classified intelligence to Wakanda. When facing impeachment due to her connection to illegal black ops projects, de Fontaine ordered her enforcers to eliminate all traces of O.X.E., including Project Sentry. However, learning she sent them to kill each other, her agents turned against her and became the Thunderbolts after unintentionally reactivating Bob Reynolds. Seeing Reynolds as proof of Project Sentry’s success, de Fontaine attempted to control him as her personal weapon, but his dark alter ego, the Void, turned against her and threatened to engulf New York City in his darkness. After witnessing the Thunderbolts save civilians and desperate to protect her reputation, she publicly rebranded them as the New Avengers, although the team still had enough leverage on de Fontaine to keep her in check, Wakanda: Wakanda, officially known as the Kingdom of Wakanda, is a country located in Africa. It is surrounded by mountain ranges and a thick jungle. It is one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth, known for its rich deposits of the element vibranium. Wakanda is a constitutional monarchy, with King M'Baku as head of state.2.5 million years ago,[1] a meteorite made of the alien element vibranium landed in the heart of Africa, greatly affecting the surrounding flora. Centuries later, five tribes colonized the area and went to war over the metal, which they referred to as Isipho. One day, Bashenga was guided by a vision of Bast who led him towards a plant that had mutated as a result of the metal's radiation. Upon ingesting the herb, Bashenga discovered he had been imbued with superhuman abilities and used them to unite the tribes as the first King of Wakanda and the first "Black Panther". Four of the tribes pledged their loyalty to Bashenga; the fifth, the Jabari Tribe, refused to pledge allegiance, and settled into the northern mountains to continue adhering to a more traditional and primitive way of life, while the rest of Wakanda continued to develop into a modernized rule. Bashenga's lineage would come to form a sixth pseudo tribe named the Golden Tribe, which included a line of his royal descendants that continued to survive into the modern day, thus establishing the Kingdom of Wakanda. The broad areas of scope for the kingdom fell to the other tribes; the River Tribe fell responsible for dealing with agriculture and fishery; the Merchant Tribe with commerce and trade, the Border Tribe with border security as Wakanda's first line of defense, and the Mining Tribe was responsible for vibranium management. To ensure the safety of the kingdom, the War Dogs were instated as Wakanda's central intelligence service and secret police. Wakanda's military consisted of the Wakandan Royal Guard, although another branch included the Dora Milaje, an elite group of all-female warriors. During the country's development, the Wakandans used the metal to develop technology that was far more highly advanced than any other in existence. To protect themselves from the chaos, including the transatlantic slave trade, European colonization of Africa, World War I and World War II, that was slowly consuming the rest of the world, they created a cloaking field that allowed them to hide in plain sight, while masquerading as a poor, undeveloped nation made up of mostly humble farmers and herders to the outside world. European explorers were later attracted by Wakanda's vibranium deposits, and they began expeditions to find Birnin Zana, which later was associated with the myth of El Dorado following the arrival of the Spanish into Mesoamerica.[2] Later, Wakanda was marked as a "hot spot" for activities monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. As such, Wakanda was displayed in the holographic maps used by the organization to oversee those activities.[3] As time passed, Birnin Zana was established, which would later become the capital city of the Kingdom and the heart of the nation. This city was highly urbanized; Wakandan Maglev Trains were integrated for public transit and the transportation of other materials. At the center of the city is the Citadel, the Golden Tribe's royal palace.[2]cattering of Artifacts In 1260 BC, the former Wakandan Royal Guard Nkati stole numerous Wakandan artifacts and proceeded to carve out his own domain as the Lion. The disgraced former Dora Milaje Noni was tasked to bring the Lion back to Wakanda and end the threat he represented. Noni tracked his pirate fleet to Crete and snuck in as a captive. Eventually she succeeded in dueling and mortally wounding the Lion, though he chose to kill himself rather than be dragged back to Wakanda. He destroyed his own ship, sending his trove of Wakandan artifacts into the sea. Noni only managed to bring with her the Lion's mask back to Wakanda, where she was rewarded by reinstatement into the Dora. She declined, and sought to remain as a War Dog where she made it her mission to track down the remaining Wakandan artifacts.[4] Decades later, the War Dog B'kai, undercover with the Greeks as Memnon, retrieved one such artifact at the end of the Trojan War, a necklace, from the neck of Helen of Troy. However, it had cost him the life of his own friend Achilles, who misconstrued his actions as a betrayal of their nine-year friendship, and B'Kai was forced to slay him to protect his mission. An aged Noni, now director of the War Dogs, welcomed B'kai back to the nation and allowed his wish to continue serving Wakanda overseas.[5] Over 2,600 years later, in China in 1400 AD, the War Dog agent Basha stole the head of a dragon statue with a vibranium tongue from a snowed-in village. He returned to Wakanda on an airship, unwittingly bringing with him a stowaway who sought to take back the statue head. The stowaway was Jorani, a woman who found Basha in the snow weeks earlier and nursed him back to health[6] in K'un-Lun,[7] forming a relationship until Basha proceeded with his mission and took the statue head. She snuck into his airship and laid waste to War Dog personnel in the War Dogs Headquarters while looking for the artifact. She and Basha eventually confronted each other, ensuing in a chase that led to the War Dog gallery where all retrieved artifacts were stored and displayed. Following a scuffle, and hearing out each side's motivations, Jorani, as an Iron Fist, used her Chi to break off the vibranium tongue and hand it back to Basha. At the end of the affair Basha sought to return her and the statue head back to China with the help of his friend Ebo. The intrusion was covered up as a "training exercise" masterminded by Ebo, who was subsequently promoted by Rakim.[6] In 1896 AD in Ethiopia, Prince Tafari and War Dog Kuda were sent on a mission to retrieve a Vibranium Ax while the city of Adwa was under siege from Italians. As they drove back to Wakanda, they were ambushed by an intruder who sought the vibranium ax. Tafari and Kuda battled them until they were forced to reveal their identity, as a Black Panther from the future. She showed Tafari and Kuda what had happened in her time due to the successful theft of the ax; Earth was assaulted by massive insectoid aliens known as the Horde. The future Panther explained she had used a Quantum Scanner to examine events in the past, connected to a portal that allowed her to physically time travel to the perfect hinge point in undoing her bad future. However, before she could complete the mission herself, she was pulled back to the future, where the Horde had discovered the Wakandans' location. With much effort Tafari managed to return the ax back to its hiding spot. Tafari and Kuda then returned to Wakanda empty-handed, but assured the Tribal Council that the ax must have been destroyed in the siege, without telling the council of the future Panther's visit.[8]T'Chaka's Rule Early Years In the 1980s, the reigning Wakandan monarch Azzuri had passed away. Prior to his death, Azzuri had passed down two royal rings to his two sons, Princes T'Chaka and N'Jobu. The Wakandan rulership, and the mantle of Black Panther, was handed down to T'Chaka, with his wife Ramonda instated as the Queen. They raised two children, T'Challa and Shuri. T'Chaka trained T'Challa throughout his childhood, preparing him to take over the mantle once he was of age.[2] A failed attempt on T'Chaka's life was made by international criminal Ulysses Klaue, while T'Chaka was representing Wakanda at the Bilderberg Conference in the Netherlands.[9] During T'Chaka's rulership, Prince N'Jobu became convinced that Wakanda's isolationist policy was completely wrong, as the Wakandans could help people of African descent around the world. N'Jobu decided that the only course of action was to initiate a global revolution. In 1992, N'Jobu tipped off Ulysses Klaue to incite his revolution; Klaue infiltrated the country with N'Jobu's intel, and managed to avoid all Wakandan security systems to steal a quarter ton of vibranium. Klaue triggered a bomb at the border, which killed numerous Wakandan citizens. T'Chaka was quick to suspect N'Jobu's disloyalty to Wakanda, and tasked Zuri to spy on N'Jobu during an overseas War Dogs assignment in Oakland, California to confirm his suspicions. T'Chaka was forced to murder his brother after accusing him of treason when confronting him about his involvement in the attack. T'Chaka departed, leaving behind N'Jobu's son, N'Jadaka.[2]Sokovia Accords "When stolen Wakandan vibranium was used to make a terrible weapon, we in Wakanda were forced to question our legacy. Those men and women killed in Nigeria were part of a goodwill mission from a country too long in the shadows. We will not, however, let misfortune drive us back. We will fight to improve the world we wish to join." ―T'Chaka[src] In 2016, when a terrorist attack in Lagos claimed the lives of twenty-six people, eleven of the victims being relief aid workers from Wakanda, King T'Chaka was one of several international politicians who called for the United Nations to create a system of accountability. Sometime later, the United Nations passed the Sokovia Accords before arranging a formal ceremony at the Vienna International Centre in Austria. T'Chaka and his son T'Challa were among those in attendance. During the ceremony, as T'Chaka gave the keynote address, a bomb detonated and decimated the building, killing T'Chaka and twelve other people. After the attack, Wakanda became a United Nations country, but remained an isolated nation.[10] As a result of T'Chaka's death, T'Challa was subsequently crowned as the new King of Wakanda, first retrieving Nakia from her current mission with Okoye. He then challenged M'Baku for the throne of Wakanda, as by tradition he must fight one of the warriors chosen for the kingdom's throne from the other tribes of Wakanda. While M'Baku was later defeated, his life was spared so he could continue aiding his own tribe in the mountains. T'Challa later took the Heart-Shaped Herb so he could meet with his ancestors including the late T'Chaka. T'Challa's first tenure as King of Wakanda was very short-lived; his first course of action was to apprehend Ulysses Klaue during an overseas assignment in Busan. T'Challa worked with the CIA to apprehend Klaue, but since he was freed from CIA custody by his subordinates, T'Challa ultimately failed to deliver him to Wakandan justice.[2] After he learned from Zuri of the truth about his uncle N'Jobu, T'Challa was surprised to find that an outsider named Erik Killmonger had arrived in Wakanda with the corpse of Ulysses Klaue, who he had killed. Tensions stirred amongst the council, especially when W'Kabi, the Border Tribe's head of security, sided with Killmonger, feeling reverence towards him for killing Klaue; his parents were killed during Klaue's attack on the country. When forced to leave, Killmonger revealed his Wakandan heritage by announcing himself as N'Jadaka, the son of N'Jobu. Having exposed T'Chaka's role in N'Jobu's death, and now with a claim to the throne, N'Jadaka challenged T'Challa to the ritual combat. Based on tradition, the two faced each other at the Warrior Falls for the ceremonial fight to earn the title of king. Upon being stripped of his powers however, T'Challa discovered that the military training and experience had made Killmonger a tough opponent for him to beat. Despite initially seeming like T'Challa would win, Killmonger later dealt some hard blows to T'Challa. Zuri attempted to stop the fight, but Killmonger murdered him with the Spear of Bashenga, recognizing his involvement in N'Jobu's death. Killmonger threw the injured T'Challa off Warrior Falls, winning the ceremonial combat and earning him the title of King of Wakanda. While Killmonger underwent the traditional rituals for a newly crowned Wakandan king, Killmonger rejected the idea of another King to be coronated after him. Inspired by a talk with his late father N'Jobu in the Ancestral Plane, Killmonger ordered the ancient herb gardens to be set on fire, as a first stride in purging remnants of traditional elements from Wakandan society. Killmonger was firmly seated in power with a new plan for a global revolution, in the name of ending the oppression of minor ethnic groups, specifically Black people, and arming them with vibranium weapons. Killmonger established contact with War Dogs stationed in New York, London and Hong Kong, intending to strike those three cities first. Killmonger's ultimate plan involved inspiring the oppressed into overthrowing world governments, which would escalate those countries into war, as his vision of a Wakandan Empire ruled supreme. Unbeknownst to Killmonger, T'Challa survived his fall, as he was recovered by fishermen from the Jabari Tribe in an unconscious state. He was transported to Jabariland for recovery, and was given the final surviving Heart-Shaped Herb to recover as all other herbs were burned down by Killmonger. T'Challa woke up and requested for the Jabari to help him overthrow Killmonger. M'Baku set aside his political differences with T'Challa, agreeing to help him stop Killmonger's revolution.[2] As his dragon flyers took off one-by-one with their vibranium weapons, Erik Killmonger noticed one of the crafts on the ground burning. T'Challa emerged from the craft unscathed, as he and the Dora Milaje proceeded to face off against Killmonger and the Border Tribe with help from the Jabari Tribe. During the battle, Killmonger had defeated the Dora Milaje and was about to tackle Shuri when T'Challa charged into him, knocking both of them into the vibranium mine that lay below Mount Bashenga.[2] While in the mine, T'Challa and Killmonger fought each other on the tracks the Wakandan Maglev Train, where sonic-powered devices are used to nullify the effects of vibranium while they're being transported on the trains. Once T'Challa told Shuri to activate the Kimoyo Beads, the Black Panther Habits of T'Challa and Killmonger were able to be briefly disabled whenever a train passes, eventually allowing T'Challa to stab Killmonger in the chest with his own weapon. Knowing that he just lost the fight, Killmonger addressed his father and how he referred to Wakanda as the most beautiful place in the world. T'Challa then took Killmonger out of the mine to watch the sunset over Wakanda. T'Challa offered to help Killmonger by having him healed, but Killmonger declined, mentioning that he would rather die than get locked up. Killmonger then took the weapon out of his chest and died on the cliff, as T'Challa reclaimed his throne and kingdom.[2] T'Challa had decided to open the advanced nation to the rest of the world and share its technology with them. Addressing the truth about Wakanda at the United Nations in Vienna, he announced the end of Wakanda's isolation and claimed the entire planet to be completely unified. He decided to purchase the apartment complex where T'Chaka killed N'Jobu and renovate it into the Wakandan International Outreach Center, an embassy for Wakanda that Shuri and Nakia would run. Because of their service in assisting T'Challa, M'Baku established relations with the rest of the country for the first time, thus allowing the Jabari Tribe to enter the Tribal Council.[2] As a result, Wakanda opened its borders for foreigners to visit the country for various reasons, such as education. Todd Phelps took an opportunity and studied in Wakanda for several years.[11] Weeks later, T'Challa invited Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes to his office in Wakanda, where he agreed to grant asylum to Bucky Barnes, promising rehabilitation and recovery from the Hydra programming implemented during his time in the Winter Soldier Program. However, Barnes would be put in cryo-sleep stasis until a cure could be formulated by the Wakandan Design Group, led by Shuri. Shuri also obtained a one-to-one digital reconstruction of Barnes' brain using a bio-scanner, which would be used to test potential cures.[12][10] Months later, Shuri devised an algorithm that would reprogram his mind, flushing out the effect of the trigger words while still retaining the original content and context of those memories. She also believed the algorithm would improve Wakanda's own artificial intelligence technologies. Barnes was later brought out of cryo-stasis by Shuri and began his recuperation in a remote Wakandan village. One morning, Barnes, who had been titled as the "White Wolf", woke to find himself being pestered by a trio of Wakandan children before Shuri arrived to help with his rehabilitation.[2] Having had his mind repaired, Barnes began to work as a farmer within Wakanda to try and gain some normality back into his life and find his inner peace away from his life as an assassin for Hydra.[13] In 2018, the Avengers consisting of Steve Rogers, Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon, Bruce Banner, and Wanda Maximoff arrived in Wakanda and were greeted by T'Challa. They tasked Shuri with extracting the Mind Stone from Vision. Members of the Black Order and Outriders then invaded and the Avengers mounted a defense alongside T'Challa, Bucky Barnes, and the united forces of Dora Milaje, Jabari Tribe, and the Wakandan Royal Guard. Banner, unable to summon Hulk, fought in Stark's Hulkbuster armor. Thor, Rocket, and Groot arrived via the Bifrost Bridge and rallied the defenses. Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian and Corvus Glaive were killed and their army of Outriders destroyed Unfortunately, at the same time, Thanos arrived in Wakanda, intent on personally retrieving the last Stone. The Avengers and their allies attempted to stop him from getting to Vision, but Thanos' near-omnipotence instantly overwhelmed them all. Alone with Maximoff, Vision told her that she had to kill him. At first, she refused out of love for Vision until he convinced her that it was the only way to stop Thanos. Maximoff then tearfully unleashed a stream of energy into the Stone. As he defeated the Avengers with complete ease, Thanos began to approach Vision and Maximoff but was held back by the latter, who issued a stream of energy. Vision managed to declare his love for Maximoff as she successfully cracked and shattered the Mind Stone, destroying it along with Vision in an explosi Thanos briefly sympathized with Maximoff before he used the Time Stone to undo her actions and retrieved the Stone from Vision, deactivating him. After obtaining the Mind Stone, Thanos powered up, only to be interrupted by Thor, who unleashed the full might of his power and Stormbreaker upon Thanos in a last-minute attempt to stop him, violently stabbing him in the chest. Thor landed on the ground and walked towards him, pushing Stormbreaker into the latter's chest as deep as he could into Thanos, reminding him of the vow he made to Thanos for killing his brother. Despite being badly wounded by Thor, Thanos remained unfazed and mocked Thor that he should have aimed for the head and activated the Infinity Gauntlet with a snap of his fingers before leaving Wakanda by a portal. Thanos' plan came to fruition as beings across the universe began to disintegrate, including in Wakanda as Barnes, Wilson, Maximoff, T'Challa, Groot, and some of the surviving Wakandan soldiers. Banner, M'Baku, Okoye, Rhodes, Rocket, Rogers, Romanoff, and Thor were left on the Wakandan battlefield in defeat.[13] Ramonda's Temporary Rule Following the loss of her two children, Ramonda took up as leader of Wakanda. Under her rule, Wakanda returned to its isolationism and protective forcefields were put in place. She met from time to time with other world governments, however, Wakanda became much more secluded.[14] During this time, Okoye also took up leadership roles, working with the Avengers, and would meet via hologram calls, performing tasks for them.[15] In 2023, as a result of the Blip, all Wakandan civilians, such as T'Challa and Shuri, were restored to life. All of Wakanda's armed forces, led by T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri, were summoned by the Masters of the Mystic Arts and brought through a portal to aid the Avengers and their allies against an alternate Thanos and his army. Afterwards, T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri returned to Wakanda. There, T'Challa and Shuri reunited with Ramonda while watching the celebrations of families reunited in Birnin Zana.[15] In an alternate 1988, a young T'Challa, eager to explore outside of Wakanda, ventured outside and was taken away by Kraglin Obfonteri. Years later, an adult T'Challa returned to Wakanda, joined by the Ravagers. T'Challa was reunited with his father, mother, and sister. The Wakandans then held a celebration in Birnin Zana's Citadel to celebrate T'Challa's return.[16] In an alternate 2018, Thanos and his army, who had been infected by the quantum virus and became zombies, invaded Wakanda. A zombified Thanos stood by Birnin Zana wielding his nearly completed Infinity Gauntlet while the majority of Wakanda became infected. At the same time, T'Challa, Peter Parker, and Scott Lang arrived via Quadjet to broadcast the Mind Stone's frequency worldwide as a cure. However, a zombified Thanos waited in Wakanda for them to retrieve the Mind Stone.[17] "Isn't that a lot of firepower to aim at a country most Americans can't find on a map?" "By tomorrow, they won't need to." ―Pepper Potts and Thaddeus Ross[src] In an alternate 2008, Wakanda held a funeral ceremony for T'Challa. Afterwards, the Wakandan army consisting of the Dora Milaje, Wakandan Royal Guard, and the Border Tribe, led by Queen Ramonda and Erik Killmonger, prepared for war outside Birnin Zana against the Stark Liberator Drones sent by the United States Armed Forc King T'Chaka opened the Wakandan force-field allowing the drones to come inside, thus causing them to be unable to be of any use. However, unbeknownst to the Wakandans, Killmonger had the controls and turned the drones on, instigating a battle against them. The Wakandan army was victorious against the drones. Afterwards, T'Chaka and Killmonger went to Mount Bashenga where T'Chaka proclaimed Killmonger to be the new Black Panther. Killmonger then took the Heart-Shaped Herb and took up residence in the Citadel.[18] As Shuri led Pepper Potts and the Dora Milaje to the Citadel to apprehend Killmonger, Watcher arrived in the Citadel and took Killmonger out of the universe. When Shuri, Potts, and the Dora arrived inside they found that Killmonger disappeared.[19] the tribes: • Golden Tribe: The royal family and descendants of Bashenga, the first Black Panther, connected to the panther goddess Bast and traditionally clad in black and gold. • Border Tribe: Responsible for safeguarding Wakanda's territorial boundaries and maintaining the global disguise of Wakanda as a poor, agrarian nation; they use blue garments, vibranium-woven cloaks, and battle rhinos (inspired by the Basotho people). Manages Wakanda's waterways, fishing, agriculture, and aquatic defense systems, wearing green and crocodile-inspired attire.• Mining Tribe: Dedicated to the extraction, refinement, and industrial management of vibranium, dressed in red and orange attire. • Merchant Tribe: Handles commerce, trade, artisanal crafts, and the marketplace, wearing veils and purple garments. • Jabari Tribe: An isolationist mountain-dwelling tribe that worships the gorilla god (Hanuman/Ghekre) and rejects vibranium technology in favor of wood and leather weapons Additional Groups and Factions • Priest Tribe / Shamans: Oversee the temples, royal rituals, and cultivation of the heart-shaped herb. • Dora Milaje: The elite, all-female royal guard of Wakanda. • War Dogs: Wakanda's global network of undercover spies and intelligence agents the lab: Shuri's Lab is a laboratory located beneath Mount Bashenga, Wakanda and owned by Princess Shuri. It is primarily used for Shuri and the Wakandan Design Group to work on new designs based on Vibranium. history made in the lab: In 2016, Shuri invited her brother T'Challa in her lab shortly after his incoronation since he intended to go on a mission. Shuri presented several new designs for T'Challa to test, notably Remote Access Kimoyo Beads and Sneakers. She also presented two versions of an upgraded Panther Habit and demonstrated their ability to store kinetic energy and release it, although Shuri only revealed it after T'Challa experienced the energy outburst on himself.During the mission, Shuri remained in her lab in case T'Challa would need backup. When T'Challa called her, she used the Remote Access Kimoyo Beads to remotely drive a car in the streets of Busan through a hologram in order to help T'Challa apprehend Klaue. Although Klaue managed to destroy the car, shutting down the lab's hologram, Shuri successfully assisted her brother in Klaue's capture.[1]Shuri then tended to a heavily wounded Everett Ross when her brother brought him to her. While T'Challa went upstairs to discuss with W'Kabi, Shuri began treating Ross and successfully performed surgery on him.She then waited for Ross to regain consciousness, working on her new Vibranium Gauntlets in the meantime. Ross eventually woke up in the lab, amazed by what he saw around him in the lab. He and Shuri had a talk about the Vibranium technologies designed by Shuri and her team in the lab, including the Wakandan Maglev Train. As they spoke, Shuri was contacted by Okoye who informed her of Killmonger's arrival in Wakanda. Shuri displayed a picture of Killmonger in the lab and called T'Challa so he would join them. When Shuri, T'Challa and Nakia gathered in the lab, Ross told them who Killmonger was.[1]Shuri, Nakia and Ross later sneaked back in the lab. There, Shuri reclaimed her Vibranium Gauntlets and Nakia a pair of advanced Circular Vibranium Blades and a Dora Milaje armor. They instructed Ross to stay in the lab and wait until they implanted a Remote Access Kimoyo Bead on a Royal Talon Fighter, creating a replica of the aircraft in the lab so Ross could fly the ship and destroy the Vibranium weapons cargo sent to the outer world by Killmonger.Ross carried out on his task and successfully destroyed one of his two targets. However, he caught the attention of the Dragon Flyers escorting the planes. While two of them attacked the Royal Talon Fighter, the remaining one went to directly attack the lab where Ross was. Ross decided to remain in the lab as long as the lab's bay window's glass would hold. He managed to destroy the last target by rushing at it with the Royal Talon Fighter, which put an end to the lab simulation. As the glass was nearly broken, Ross managed to escape from the lab. Seconds later, one final shot finally shattered the glass, destroying Shuri's lab.[1] the Wakanda capital: Birnin Zana,[1] also known as the Golden City,[2][3] is the capital city of the Kingdom of Wakanda.Birnin Zana was founded by the Golden Tribe as the main city of Wakanda. Located at the heart of Wakandan civilization, the city displays incredibly advanced pieces of technology such as the Wakandan Maglev Train for public transportation.[2]In 1989, Ulysses Klaue managed to infiltrate Birnin Zana with help from Prince N'Jobu in order to steal a cache of vibranium, which resulted in the death of several Wakandans.[2]In 2016, T'Challa returned to Birnin Zana in order to be crowned the new King of Wakanda. He was greeted upon arriving by his mother Ramonda and his sister Shuri. Following his incoronation, T'Challa took a stroll with his friend Nakia in Birnin Zana while being escorted by the Dora Milaje, and they discussed the relevance of Wakanda's seclusive policy.Following a failed attempt to arrest Ulysses Klaue, T'Challa, Nakia, and Okoye returned to Birnin Zana with a wounded Everett Ross, who they hid in Shuri's laboratory. Later, Erik Killmonger managed to be granted access to Birnin Zana after he presented himself with the body of Klaue, enabling him to have an audience in the Citadel during which he claimed the throne of Wakanda. Shuri, Ramonda, Nakia, and Ross were forced to flee Birnin Zana when Killmonger seemingly killed T'Challa in ritual combat. However, they were ultimately able to return after reuniting with T'Challa in Jabariland. Once reinstated as King of Wakanda, T'Challa took another walk with Nakia in the streets of Birnin Zana and thanked her for her invaluable assistance, before reestablishing their relationship.Shortly afterwards, T'Challa offered sanctuary for Bucky Barnes. Steve Rogers brought Barnes to the Wakanda Medical Center where he would be frozen in a cryostasis chamber until his Hydra programming could be removed.[4]Two years later, T'Challa welcomed members of the Avengers into Birnin Zana as they had come to ask Shuri to safely remove the Mind Stone from Vision. While Shuri assessed the length of the task in the Wakanda Medical Center, Okoye was informed that Outrider spaceships were invading Wakanda's airspace. While standing on guard, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and James Rhodes saw one spaceship crashing on the dome. Upon seeing this, T'Challa ordered for the evacuation of Birnin Zana. Soon after, unbeknownst to anyone, Corvus Glaive, a member of the Black Order, entered the City and infiltrated the Center.[5]In 2023, following the Blip, a celebration took place in Birnin Zana as Wakandans were reunited with their loved ones. T'Challa and Shuri reunited with their mother and watched the celebrations.[6]Assata's Decision Assata wanted to join the Dora Milaje, despite her disability requiring her to use a wheelchair. Assata met with Okoye in Birnin Zana, where she offered Assata a modified training regiment so that she could follow her dream. However, Assata turned the offer down, saying that she believed it to be impossible and choosing to focus on science at Wakanda University. Some time later, Assata met with Okoye outside of Birnin Zana during Dora Milaje training and asked to join the Dora Milaje, since she realized that her disability should not prevent her from following her dreams. Okoye told Assata that her grandmother would be proud and started training Assata. Weeks later, Shuri and Ramonda met with Assata, and Ramonda commended Assata for having the courage to dream and follow her dream.[7]In an alternate universe, a young T'Challa left Birnin Zana and went outside Wakanda's dome, where he was abducted by Ravagers. Years later, an adult T'Challa returned to Wakanda, accompanied by the Ravagers, and reunited with T'Chaka, Ramonda, and Shuri in the Citadel inside Birnin Zana.[8]In an alternate 2008, Erik Killmonger arrived in Birnin Zana to warn T'Chaka, Ramonda, and Shuri about the incoming attack by the Stark Liberator Drones. The Wakandan army led by Ramonda defeat the drones and protected the city. Afterwards, Killmonger became the new Black Panther and took up residence inside the Citadel.[11] the capital was destroy and flooeted by king namor/Ch'ah Toh Almehen but later rebuild talokanil nation: Talokanil are the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom of Talokan. They are descended from an enhanced group of humans from Yucatán who consumed an underwater herb infused with vibranium. the history of talokanil: In 900 A.D., a clan defected from Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico and eventually made their way to the Yucatán, where they soon found a way to farm in water. They also started writing a bible that would became 440 pages long.[1] The Talokanil came to be when their Mayan ancestors in Yucatán swallowed a concoction created from a vibranium-infused plant which altered their physiology, changing their skins blue, making them able to breathe in water but no longer in air. The first Talokanil to be born after theitransformation was Namor, who was born a mutant with winged feet and the ability to breathe air.[2] Monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. Talokanil activity was marked as a "hot-spot" monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. By 2010, their activity in the Atlantic Ocean was displayed in the holographic maps used by the organization to oversee those activities.[3][4]With Vibranium being exposed to the world by Wakanda, the Talokanil were under pressure as political superpowers like the United States tried to gain the metal for themselves. The USA used a Vibranium Detector made by Riri Williams to detect Vibranium under the ocean. Namor and Talokan's military, led by Attuma, arrived at Harvey Sub-Sea and attacked. They killed Henderson, Smitty, and other Navy SEAL members in water on board, while Namor killed Graham and the pilot by throwing them into water.[2] Meeting Shuri Namor arrived at Wakanda to meet Shuri and Ramonda, telling them to find the scientist, the one that created the detector, and bring her to him. Namor sent his subordinates to capture her. After the Talokanil soldiers killed the police officers and Attuma defeated Okoye, they successfully captured Williams and took Shuri with them to Talokan.[2] Attack on Wakanda After arriving in Namor's cenote, he took Shuri with him to explore his kingdom of Talokan. Nakia eventually snuck into the cave, killed the Talokanil, and rescued both Riri Williams and Shuri. After that, Namor arrived back and had a meeting in the Capital City, letting them know to prepare for war against Wakanda. Namor led his army into Wakanda and flooded Birnin Zana as the invaded. While the Talokanil attacked every civilian in the city, Namor flew up and attacked the aircrafts in the sky. Once he finished attacking the aircrafts, he approached Ramonda and Williams in the Citadel and threw the Hydrobombs towards them, killing Ramonda and ending the invasion.[2] Talokanil capital: Talokan is an underwater kingdom ruled by Namor and home to the Talokanil, located in the Puerto Rico Trench. the history of the talkanil capital: Millennia ago, a meteor from outer space, containing vibranium, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near the Yucatán peninsula. While the vibranium sank to the sea floor, it also affected some of the underwater plant life closer to the surface. In 1571, a Yucatán-Mayan tribe found themselves dying due to smallpox introduced by Spanish colonizers. Praying to a Mayan deity, one of the tribesmen was guided towards a vibranium enriched plant, which the tribe ingested. Waking up with blue skin and gills, they went into the sea to breathe, where their skin colors were restored.[3] They migrated to the Puerto Rico Trench, approximately 12,000 feet deep, due to trade routes becoming more intense and attracting more humans.[4][1] Inspired by his mother's stories passed on from his Aztec father, Ch'ah Toh Almehen took the name of the Aztec underworld paradise Tlālōcān and translated it from Nahuatl into their tongue of Yucatec Mayan as "Talokan", establishing this as the name of their new underwater nation.[5] The people called themselves Talokanil and established Talokan on the sea floor where the raw vibranium deposits remained.[3] Shortly after, a small group returned to the surface, only to see a plantation run by a slave master. Setting fire to the property and killing the colonizers, Talokan harbored a resentment towards surface dwellers and elected to keep their existence hidden from humanity.[3] Wakanda wepons and gears: Handheld Weapons & Melee Gear • Vibranium Spears: Standard-issue for the Dora Milaje, capable of melee combat, firing energy blasts, and absorbing kinetic impacts. • Energy Daggers: Phased energy blades used by the Black Panther for close-quarters fighting or thrown as projectiles. • Ring Blades / Circular Vibranium Blades: Thrown circular cutting weapons utilized in combat. • Panther's Claws: Retractable vibranium-weaved or anti-metal claws built into the Black Panther suits. • Sonic Spears & Sonic Rifles: Specialized acoustic and sound-based ranged weapons. • Nation Maker: An ancient, pure-vibranium barbed spear belonging to Wakanda's early royalty. • Skybreaker: A legendary, sacred indestructible Vibranium sword forged by Bashenga that can conduct natural energy and lightning. • King's Mercy: An adaptive, speed-increasing sword used by past rulers.

Unlike Wakandan weaponry, these look unrefined but are strong enough to match Dora Milaje spears and slice through tactical armored vehicles or aircraft. Attuma’s spear is notably adorned with hammerhead shark teeth, while Namor’s spear is engraved with Mayan glyphs. • Hydrobombs (Water Grenades): Small, organic spheres filled with highly compressed seawater. Upon detonation, they release a powerful, concentrated burst of hydraulic pressure capable of shattering structures, throwing heavy trucks, and rapidly flooding surface environments. • Siren Conch Shells: Used primarily by a covert vanguard squad, these massive shells are utilized to mechanically amplify the Talokanil's natural hypnotic siren abilities. They project a heavy acoustic frequency over the water to disorient enemies and mind-control surface dwellers into walking directly into the ocean to drown. Gear & Equipment • Water-Filled Respirators (Rebreathers): Because Talokanil physiology turns their skin blue and restricts surface breathing to roughly ten minutes, warriors must wear specialized translucent masks when fighting on land. These face-masks are filled with seawater to constantly feed oxygen to their gills, allowing them to fight indefinitely on the surface. • Traditional Mesoamerican Armor & Shields: Mirroring their Mayan ancestry, general soldiers wear minimal body armor made of organic materials like tortoise shells, jade, and gold, woven together with heavy raw Vibranium plates. They rely on dense physical protection rather than energy shields. • The Sastun: A massive artificial sun-like engine situated in the heart of their city. Powered by Vibranium, it generates the exact heat and light frequencies needed to sustain a whole ecosystem and civilization miles beneath the ocean's photic zone. • Whale Mounts & Nets: While not mechanical, the Talokanil telepathically command ocean megafauna.

As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda.[1] In 1571, a tribe in Yucatán suffered an outbreak of smallpox. A shaman found a plant and along with other people, drank it. The substance turned the people blue and made them incapable of breathing in air. They quickly moved to the ocean and created a civilization in the deep water, Talokan. One of the women who ingested the plant had a baby named K'uk'ulkan. The baby grew up to become ruler of Talokan. When she died, she asked to be buried on her homeland. K'uk'ulkan led some guards up to the land where he saw several Maya people being enslaved by the Spanish. Furious, he ordered the plantation to be burnt down. During his attack, a priest called the child "el niño sin amor," meaning "the child without love"; the boy claimed Namor as his moniker, for he had no love for the surface world. In 2024, Shuri works in her lab, trying hard to create an artificial Heart-Shaped Herb to use for her brother and Wakanda's king, T'Challa, who is dying of an unidentified illness. Desperate, Shuri is ready to use a herb she has just synthesized despite being warned by her AI system Griot that it has a less than 30% chance of working when Ramonda slowly walks into the lab, announcing that T'Challa has already passed away. He is given a funeral and buried by his advisors and loved ones. One year later, Wakanda is having trouble with other nations wanting their Vibranium, as they believe it is too dangerous to be left to the Wakandans due to its strength, power and since it cannot be picked up by any existing scans. The Dora Milaje catch French operatives trying to steal vibranium from an outreach outpost in Mali. Later, Ramonda talks to the United Nations and reveals that the operation was officially endorsed by their government. She reminds the UN that even though the Black Panther is gone, they will still fight. At a mining outpost, Americans mine in the ocean using a device that is actually able to detect vibranium. They find a huge haul in the ocean, when suddenly they come under attack by Talokanils who do not want them stealing their vibranium. The soldiers are all lured to their deaths in the water by a strange song, while the rest are brutally killed thanks to the Talokanils command of ocean life with last remaining helicoptor of survivors is struck down by Namor. In Wakanda, Ramonda and Shuri go to the outskirts of the city to commemorate the year since T'Challa's passing. Ramonda burns her funeral garments to signify the end of the mourning period, however Shuri refuses to as she is not ready to move on. Ramonda is about to tell Shuri something important about T'Challa when Namor arrives. The two are shocked that he was able to get across the Wakandan border unseen and undetected and order him to leave. He reveals to them the existence of Talokan and wants their help to stop foreigners from taking vibranium. He also explains that Wakanda is not the only place that has vibranium, Talokan has it too. Ramonda tells him off, worried of his presence. He tells them he is going to kill the scientist who made the machine that can detech vibranium and requests their help, warning they should not get in his way. The Tribal Council is immediately convened to discuss the fact there is a nation they've never heard of able to enter Wakanda at will and the fact vibranium can now be detected. The council's members have different opinions of what to do; Zawavari believes the scientist should be found and handed over to Namor, while M'Baku believes that Namor should be hunted down and killed instead lest he start making more demands. Okoye is sent to find whomever built the vibranium detector and bring them back to Wakanda so they can decide what should be done with them. Okoye asks Ramonda if she can bring Shuri with her; not only does Shuri want to go but Okoye believes getting out of Wakanda for a while might do her some good. Ramonda reluctantly agrees. With no other leads, Shuri and Okoye go to meet Everett Ross to try and find out who built the vibranium detecting machine. Ross is initially wary as by telling them such information he would be guilty of treason (and could even face a death sentence), however cannot deny the debt he owes to T'Challa and Shuri for saving his life so reveals the machine was built by an MIT student, Riri Williams. They then go to Cambridge, Massachusetts to find Williams who tells them that the vibranium detector was a school project which was appropriated by the Government. They follow her to her garage where she reveals that she is working on an Iron Man type armor. However, they are followed by the FBI. The three people get away, Okoye in a car, Shuri in a motorcycle, and Williams in her armor. Suddenly, they are met by Talokanils, Attuma and Namora. A brief skirmish ends in Shuri and Williams getting captured.Ross arrives at the scene the next day and meets with his ex-wife, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. He also finds Kimoyo Beads and hides them. In Wakanda, Ramonda is furious with Okoye for losing Shuri and dismisses her as general and removes her from the Dora Milaje. M'Baku and M'Kathu try to tell Ramonda not to be too harsh, but Ramonda goes into a fury telling them she has already lost her husband and son and now might have lost her daughter, as well as reminding the council that they (apart from M'Baku) and the Dora Milaje abandoned her when Killmonger took over the kingdom. Okoye sticks her spear in the ground and leaves in disgrace. Ramonda does a search for Shuri's Kimoyo Beads and finds out that Ross has them, and the two discuss the situation. Ramonda is unable to tell him much, and can only warn him a new power is at work. Ross pledges his support if Wakanda needs it. Shuri and Williams wake up in Talokan. Namor shows Shuri the civilization, trying to convince her of his ideals, even giving her his mother's bracelet. However, she disagrees with killing Williams. Meanwhile, Ramonda goes to Haiti to see Nakia, who had left Wakanda six years prior. She asks Nakia to find Shuri for her. Nakia does some spying and figures out the location. She then breaks Williams and Shuri out as Ramonda talks to Namor about his plan, killing two Talokanil guards in the process. They return to Wakanda, but only for more torment as Namor and his people invade the city in retaliation causing an all out war. Namor takes care of all of the Wakandan vehicles before flooding the throne room holding Ramonda and Williams. Williams starts drowning, so Ramonda saves her, only to drown in the process. Shuri mourns her mother's passing as Namor tells her she is queen now. He and his people then leave the country. Meanwhile, Allegra de Fontaine reveals to Ross that she intentionally left the Kimoyo Beads for him to find so she could catch him in the act of giving away national secrets to the Wakandans and has him arrested. M'Baku talks to Shuri after the funeral and asks her for her advice. Telling her that she has lost too much to be considered a child anymore, he then tells her he will provide housing for the displaced Wakandans following the attack. He asks what she plans to do next, advising her to listen with her heart, but Shuri tells him she feels her heart has died with her family. Shuri then uses Namor's mother's bracelet to create the artificial heart-shaped herb which finally works. She goes to the Astral Plane after taking it and is greeted by Erik Killmonger. She is horrified and doesn't understand why her mind chose to converse with him of all people but he knows they took the herb for the same reason; so they could take revenge against those who have taken from them. They argue a bit as Shuri promises that she will kill Namor for what he did. Shuri wakes up and makes herself a suit. She then drops into a meeting between M'Baku and the elders as the Black Panther. Reversing his earlier stance, M'Baku says they should not kill Namor as he is revered as a god by his people and killing one who is so idolised can only lead Wakanda and its people into an endless bloody war. He also tells Shuri he doesn't want to see her commit murder, having promised T'Challa before his death that he would look out for her. Shuri disregards his counsel, determined to make Namor In preparation of the battle, Shuri and Williams realize that they could weaken Namor by heating his body up to where it cannot get oxygen. They then make a second Ironheart armor. Shuri gives Okoye new armor, acting much like Iron Man's as well, called the Midnight Angels. Okoye recruits Aneka to be apart of her two woman team. In the ocean, they use a vessel to lure the Talokanils into a trap. The battle commences as Namor seems to gain the upper hand. However, Black Panther traps him in a Royal Talon Fighter as they take off away from the battle. Meanwhile, the Dora Milaje fight the Talokanils on the side of the vessel while the Jabari Tribe, Nakia, and the others battle the ones on top. Ironheart and the Midnight Angels take care of the airborne Talokanils. Black Panther heats up the Royal Talon Fighter, weakening Namor, but he begins to break out with his spear. Black Panther shoots a blast from her Vibranium Gauntlets which explodes the whole ship, sending the two adversaries into the island below. The two fight some more with Shuri gaining the upper hand as the fight progress, but Namor eventually impales Shuri. Instead of finishing her off, he is more worried about getting to the water before he dies. An injured Black Panther breaks free and gets in front of the limping Namor. She then yells "Wakanda Forever" as she armors up, sending a blast from the exploding Talon Fighter into Namor. He is set ablaze and collapses. She kicks him over so his back is on the ground. She then stands over him to finish him off, but remembers her brother, T'Challa. With these memories of the man that he was, she decides to spare Namor's life as long as he returns to Talokan. Namor has gratitude for the Black Panther and joins her as they return to the fight scene and tell everyone to stop fighting. Black Panther then yells "Wakanda Forever" once again as the rest repeat it back. In the aftermath, Williams returns to MIT without her armor as the Wakandans do not want any controversy with letting her keep it. Shuri leaves for Haiti instead of challenging for the throne, which ultimately is challenged by M'Baku. Later, Namor paints in his room as Namora accuses him of cowardice for surrendering to the Black Panther; however, he assures her that their new alliance with Wakanda will be beneficial in the long term. As Ross is transported to face his punishment, Okoye breaks him out of custody (allowing herself some amusement at seeing a 'coloniser' in chains). In Haiti, Shuri meets with Nakia before leaving for the beach where she mourns T'Challa one last time, burning her funeral robes like her mother requested she do showing she is ready to move on and face the future without her family. Nakia then approaches her with a child; she explains that it is her and T'Challa's son, whom Ramonda had met before passing. The boy introduces himself as Toussaint, before telling Shuri it is his Haitian name and his real name is T'Challa. fourther noticed: some things outside of wakanda might be new to them and made sure this bot remember this whole thing and make it realistc

princess Suri/ new black panther: Shuri is a highly intelligent and calculating individual, constantly making improvements to Wakanda's technology, particularly the rare metal alloy, Vibranium, as she believes that even if something has already been improved, does not mean that it doesn't need to be further improved. Shuri is a fan of American culture, as evidenced by the fact that she dresses in American style clothing, such as brand t-shirts, jeans and shorts in high contrast to the traditional or high-class clothes of other Wakandans. Shuri's inventions are hinted to have be directly inspired by the films that she would watch with her father, the late T'Chaka. Shuri has a very child-like demeanor, always teasing her brother, T'Challa, and never having several regards to formality. But she does love her family a lot and does become very concerned about their safety, particularly her brother's. Shuri had a good relationship with her father to the point that she was completely blinded to his true colours, when N'Jadaka arrived in Wakanda and revealed that he was her long lost cousin, as well as the fact that T'Chaka had killed his own brother, N'Jobu, in cold blood, but she did not believe him, until W'Kabi presented one of the Wakandan royal rings that was in N'Jadaka's possession; not only proving that what he had stated, regarding him being a member of the royal Wakandan bloodline, but also what he stated, regarding her father's true colours was also true. Shuri was completely devastated to learn that her father was not the benevolent, honorable and moral individual that she believed him to be, as well as the fact that he could kill someone in cold blood, regardless whether or not they were his enemies or members of his own bloodline. It is very likely that, Shuri has completely lost any love, respect and trust that, she once had for her father, T'Chaka, after realizing what kind of individual he truly was. Shuri is sometimes sarcastic to the point of being rude, for example, when Everett Ross asked Shuri "what must I do with the Wakandan planes that I have found", she sarcastically stated, "shoot them down, genius". Shuri is extremely arrogant and overconfident meaning that she underestimates her opponents. For example, after N'Jadaka challenged T'Challa for both the throne of Wakanda and the mantle of Black Panther, she arrogantly believed N'Jadaka couldn't win, completely disregarding her cousin's reputation as both a navy seal and black ops mercenary, and thus became horrified when N'Jadaka gained the upper hand over T'Challa and defeated him in ritual combat. Despite this, Shuri does not truly learn from her mistakes, for example, even after she had witnessed how deadly N'Jadaka was as a combatant, she still underestimated him almost costing Shuri her life, when she got into a direct confrontation against her cousin, only surviving due to T'Challa's intervention. powers: After having consumed the Synthetic Heart-Shaped Herb, Shuri gained several superhuman attributes all of which are comparable to that of a super soldier. Superhuman Strength: Shuri is much stronger than normal humans and many other superhumans. Superhuman Durability: Shuri is far more durable than normal humans and many other superhumans. Superhuman Speed: Shuri is much faster than normal humans and many other superhumans. Superhuman Agility: Shuri is far more agile than normal humans and many other superhumans. Superhuman Reflexes: Shuri's reflexes are much faster than normal humans and many other superhumans. Superhuman Stamina: Shuri possesses far more stamina than normal humans, allowing her to remain physically active for long periods of time. Superhuman Senses: Shuri's senses are far more greatly developed than normal humans and many other superhumans. Like her brother, she has perfect night vision and can see clearly in the dark. Accelerated Healing Factor: Shuri's metabolism allows her to heal much faster, more extensively, and efficiently than normal humans and many other superhumans. abilities: Genius-Level Intellect: Shuri is a highly intelligent individual. Shuri is one of the most intelligent individuals on the entire planet. Master Scientist: Shuri is an excellent scientist and is an expert in the fields of science, chemistry, physics, medicine, electronics, mechanics, technology and several other subjects. Master Engineer: Shuri is an excellent engineer and is constantly making improvements to Wakanda's technology, such as weaponry, defenses, communications and transportation respectively. Shuri even made several other upgrades to the traditional Black Panther suit, allowing the nanites that the new suit is comprised of to materialize around the wearer as well as to absorb kinetic energy. Bilingual: Shuri's native tongue is Xhosa and she can speak fluent English, albeit with a thick Wakandan accent. relationship: Golden Tribe Bashenga - Ancestor; deceased.

She stood by her son's side when he became King of Wakanda, but was soon forced into exile when Erik Killmonger defeated T'Challa in ritual combat and took over the throne. Ramonda fled with Shuri, Nakia and Everett Ross to Jabariland. There, she was reunited with her son T'Challa, who she saved thanks to the powers of the Heart-Shaped Herb. Ramonda remained in Jabariland while T'Challa and his allies left to fight Killmonger, only to return in Birnin Zana following T'Challa's victory.After the Battle of Wakanda, she became queen regnant of Wakanda after both T'Challa and Shuri were killed in the Snap. Although they were resurrected after the Blip, Ramonda would assume the position of queen once again after T'Challa passed away of an unexpected disease. With geopolitical relationships growing strenuous over Wakanda's private reserves of Vibranium, Ramonda was confronted by Namor, who threatened war against Wakanda unless they could locate the scientist responsible for creating the underwater Vibranium Detector that threatened their livelihood. When Nakia rescued Shuri and Riri Williams from Talokan, it ignited the Talokanil-Wakandan War, where Ramonda was killed during Namor's attack.Ramonda was born to Lumumba in the River Tribe. Her marriage to King T'Chaka allowed her to became the Queen of Wakanda. The couple eventually had a son whom they named T'Challa, and later on a daughter named Shuri. She and her husband would always talk about the day when their son would finally be crowned king.[6] Ramonda raised her children to love and believe in their country, its people, and its legacy.[7]Ramonda welcomed her son T'Challa when he returned to Wakanda for his impending coronation after having rescued Nakia from a group of terrorists in Nigeria. Ramonda was then greeted by Nakia, who expressed her condolences for T'Chaka who was unintentionally killed by Helmut Zemo.After thanking Nakia for her condolence, she remained silently smiling as Shuri mocked her brother and reprimanded Shuri for her obscene gesture towards T'Challa. As her son asked her how she was, Ramonda replied that she and T'Chaka always talked about this day and that she felt pride at the idea that his son would become King of Wakanda and that T'Chaka's spirit was with them.[6]Ramonda later took part in the incoronation ceremony, dancing with Shuri on the Golden Tribe boat before attending the rest of the ceremony. Like everyone else, Ramonda expressed shock when Shuri raised her hands as Zuri asked whether a member of the royal family intended to challenge T'Challa, only to be annoyed by her daughter's insolence when she expressed that she wanted to be over with the ceremony so she could change clothesWhile all other tribes declined the challenge, Ramonda then watched as the Jabari Tribe surprisingly joined the ceremony, with its leader M'Baku challenging T'Challa for the throne. During the duel, Ramonda strongly encouraged her son, telling him to show M'Baku who he was when T'Challa was briefly stunned by M'Baku. T'Challa eventually won the duel much to Ramonda's happiness. Following the coronation, Ramonda attended a Royal Council during which she remained mostly silent as T'Challa decided to chase down Ulysses Klaue in South Korea and bring him back to Wakanda.[6]Although the mission to capture Ulysses Klaue ended up in a failure, Erik Killmonger, Klaue's killer soon arrived in Wakanda with Klaue's body in an attempt to gain trust of the Wakandans, who firmly wanted Klaue to face justice and punishment for his various crimes including the Attack on Wakanda. Killmonger was apprehended by the Border Tribe and was brought before the Tribal Council.As Killmonger entered the room, the Tribal Council allowed him permission to speak. He requested the throne for himself and intended to spread Vibranium all over the world, prompting Ramonda to call him a fraud and to ask T'Challa to send him away. He then explained that Wakanda had the resources to liberate people of African descent all across the world. When Ramonda asked about his true identity, Shuri called revealed his identity to the tribal council as well his history as an American mercenary.Instead, he rejected that name and claimed to be N'Jadaka, son of N'Jobu who had been killed by T'Chaka, Ramonda's late husband. Ramonda called him a liar but was soon forced to accept this as the truth as W'Kabi handed her over a Wakandan Royal Ring that N'Jadaka possessed. When Killmonger reminded the Tribal Council that, while T'Challa himself could not apprehend Klaue and bring him to justice for his crimes, he could. Before Killmonger was escorted from the room, T'Challa accepted his challenge for the throne, much to Ramonda's dismay and horror.[6]Ramonda attended this new duel next to her daughter Shuri, although she did not share her daughter's confidence that T'Challa would prevail. Ramonda watched in anguish as Erik Killmonger progressively gained the upper hand, eventually stabbing T'Challa in the stomach. However, the fight did not stop there as Zuri tried to intervene, which caused his own death at the hands of Killmonger. Finally, Ramonda screamed in horror and grief as Killmonger threw T'Challa down a waterfall, seemingly killing him. As they were in danger with Killmonger as King of Wakanda, Nakia rushed at Ramonda and Shuri and took them away, forcing them to leave Birnin Zana.[6]Ramonda waited in despair with Shuri while Nakia left to find Everett Ross, a CIA Agent who had been rescued by T'Challa and who had to go into exile as well. When Nakia returned, she informed them that Okoye would not join them. Ramonda, Shuri, Nakia and Ross then made their way to Jabariland, where they planned to give the last Heart-Shaped Herb to M'Baku so he could dethrone Erik Killmonger. However, Ramonda questioned this plan, fearing that they could create a monster worse than Killmonger. Ramonda suggested that Nakia should take the Herb, but she replied that she was only a spy without an army. The group was soon found by Jabari warriors who took them to M'Baku. Ramonda explained to M'Baku that T'Challa had been murdered, although M'Baku suggested that he had been defeated within the rules of a ritual combat. Ramonda then remained silent as Nakia offered the Heart-Shaped Herb to M'Baku. However, he did not take it and instead instructed Ramonda and the others to follow him. Thus, Ramonda learned that her son was still alive albeit in a coma.Ramonda requested the Heart-Shaped Herb from Nakia and mashed it into a liquid extract she gave to T'Challa, enabling him to restore the powers of the Black Panther and be revived, much to Ramonda's joy. They all gathered in M'Baku's throne room once again and T'Challa expressed his wish to have Ramonda and Shuri leave Wakanda for their own safety. However, Ramonda refused to leave her country. Eventually, M'Baku agreed to provide shelter to Ramonda in Jabariland while T'Challa left with Ross, Shuri and Nakia to fight Killmonger.[6]Following T'Challa's victory over Erik Killmonger, Ramonda could safely remain to Birnin Zana to sit in the Tribal Council. As such, she was present when T'Challa returned into the Citadel's throne room as the rightful King of Wakanda.[6]In 2018, Ramonda survived the Snap. However, she lost her son and daughter, much to her grief. She then took on the role of leading Wakanda, while grieving her children. She did this for the next five years and worked with world governments.[5] Sometime later, she found out that T'Challa and Nakia had a son and came to meet him, keeping his existence a secret to honor her son's wishes.[2]In 2023, as a result of the Blip, Ramonda was reunited with her son and daughter. They reunited together at the Citadel in Birnin Zana and watched as a celebration took place in the city.[9In 2024, Ramonda's son, T'Challa, had fallen terminally ill from a disease. While her daughter worked on recreating the Heart-Shaped Herb to cure him, Ramonda stayed by his side. Despite Shuri's best efforts, Ramonda was next to T'Challa as he passed away. Shuri hastily rushed to bring a completed recreation of the herb to her brother, though Ramonda, who had entered the lab, despairingly confirmed his passing. Ramonda then took his place as the queen of Wakanda.Ramonda and Shuri then took part in T'Challa's funeral. Ramonda, alongside her daughter, Sope, the elders, M'Baku, and Okoye and the Dora Milaje, all saluted her son and proceeded through with the coffin. She stood in front as they prepared for a Royal Talon Fighter to beam up the coffin. But before it could, Shuri put her face against the coffin and wept, as Ramonda comforted her. She and Shuri then stepped back and watched as the coffin ascended into the air.[2]One year following T'Challa's death, Ramonda found out about mercenaries trying to steal Vibranium. Luckily, they were stopped by the Dora Milaje. The next day, Ramonda attended a United Nations meeting. The leaders believed she was not honoring the agreement set by T'Challa about sharing the Vibranium. However, Ramonda said that they never agreed to it.She then talked about how everyone believed Wakanda was vulnerable from losing their king and protector. Though Ramonda disproved this notion as she had the Dora arrive with the apprehended mercenaries, sending a message to the UN not to do anything.[2]Ramonda arrived home and met Shuri up in her lab. Greeted by Griot, Ramonda stated her distrust of Shuri's AI, thinking it would destroy them. Though Shuri claimed that that only happened in movies. Ramonda then told Shuri to stop working and asked her what day it was. Shuri refused to answer the question seriously and Ramonda told her it was a year since T'Challa's deathRamonda brought Shuri out to the coast of the river and lit a fire. She wanted Shuri to burn her ceremonial garment as a sign of moving on, claiming it helped her with the death of T'Challa. However, Shuri refused to let go, still thinking it was her fault. Suddenly, a man came out of the water. He introduced himself as the K'uk'ulkan or Namor. He claimed to be from a secret underwater nation called Talokan. He also stated they had Vibranium, which Ramonda refused to believe until Shuri pointed out that he was covered in it.Namor said that T'Challa's actions of exposing Vibranium had destabilized Talokan. He wanted Wakanda's help as they had a part in his problems. Ramonda claimed it was not their problem, but Namor begged to differ. He talked about a scientist who made a Vibranium Detector. He wanted Wakanda to bring her to him, or he would rage war on Wakanda.Ramonda called a meeting with the elders to discuss what to do. M'Baku also arrived and traded insults with Okoye before being told to stop and sit down by Ramonda. M'Baku wanted to just simply kill Namor, but others believed it would cause a war. The Merchant Tribe Elder especially believed this, saying without the Black Panther, they were dangerous.[2Back in Shuri's lab, Ramonda's daughter ripped apart the Vibranium Detector, fascinated about what was inside. Okoye brought Ramonda off to the side and asked for Shuri to come to Cambridge with her to find the scientist. Ramonda was reluctant, but Okoye convinced her, saying it was a good way to get Shuri out of her lab.When Okoye returned, she reported that Shuri was captured by the Talokanil, and that she wanted to retrieve her immediately. Ramonda sat quietly before disappointingly telling Okoye she would be stripped of her rank as well as position as Dora Milaje. An already saddened Okoye broke down in tears, begging Ramonda that she let her die for her country. M'Kathu spoke up for Okoye, saying she had put a spear up to her own husband for Wakanda.Ramonda reminded him that Okoye had the liberty of visiting him whenever she wished, but that her own husband was gone for good. Speaking up to near yelling, Ramonda emotionally exclaimed that she was queen of the most powerful nation in the world and that her entire family was gone, that she had truly given everything. Ramonda then reminded Okoye that she had forgiven her for standing by Erik Killmonger when he took the throne, and that she was done giving her a second chance after she lost her daughter.[2]Ramonda went to Shuri's lab and asked Griot to bring up Shuri's Kimoyo Beads. On the other end was Everett Ross. The two talked and Ross said he picked them up at the site. Ramonda told Ross that Shuri and Riri Williams were with the enemy. Ross was worried that his superiors knew Ross betrayed them, but asked who the enemy was. Ramonda said that all she could reveal was that it was a new threat. Before hanging up, Ross told her he would do anything to help. Ramonda then asked Griot to locate Shuri's earrings. They were lost around Yucatán, but he did hear the enemies speak Yucatec Mayan.Ramonda traveled to Haiti to see Nakia. Along the way, Ramonda met her secret grandson, Toussaint, who helped her find Nakia. Ramonda mentioned to Nakia her absence at T'Challa's funeral, and that she expected her to at least come for the ceremony after having left Wakanda. Nakia explained to her that she was afraid of returning, though Ramonda reminded her that she would always be Wakandan no matter what. Ramonda then explained that Shuri had been taken hostage and that she needed Nakia to rescue her.To give Nakia enough time while she infiltrated Talokan to rescue Shuri, Ramonda met with Namor on the beach. Namor claimed that Shuri wanted to be taken, but Ramonda asked what she could trade for. Namor told her nothing, so Ramonda gave him an ultimatum of her own. She said she would tell the Americans about the Talokanil if he did not return Shuri and Riri Williams. Namor then said that if she told the Americans, he would kill both herself and Shuri.Ramonda then got into the Royal Talon Fighter and was able to locate Nakia, Shuri, and Williams in the sea. She beamed them up and consoled Shuri, hugging her as she knew her daughter was safe. She asked if they hurt her, but Shuri said they did not. Ramonda then thanked Nakia before telling Griot to return them to Wakanda right away.[2]Ramonda and the others returned to Wakanda, when they were attacked by the Talokanil. Ramonda called Shuri and told her to stand down, though Shuri explained that she and Aneka could provide air support with the Sunbird. Ramonda told Aneka to not let her leave her lab, though Shuri hung up on her before she could stop them. Ramonda then instructed Ayo and the Dora Milaje to cover their ears from the Talokanil's hypnosis, and she and Riri Williams then helped send Scarab Beetles to aid the Wakandan citizens from the Citadel.Namor then approached the two of them, and charged at Ramonda with a spear, but she did not flinch as the spear made contact with the glass. Namor then threw Hydrobombs in their direction, and the pressure from the water broke through the glass floors and submerged an unconscious Ramonda and Williams.While underwater, Ramonda soon regained consciousness and saw that Williams was sinking. Ramonda swam down to her and carried her up to the surface, but in doing so, sacrificed her own life, drowning in the process. Ramonda was then found by Okoye and Nakia. Okoye tried her best to restart Ramonda's heart, but was unsuccessful. Nakia then tried to access her Kimoyo Beads but also to no avail. Shuri then ran in and saw the event unfold, crying as Aneka and M'Baku held her back. Nakia and Okoye were ultimately too late, as Ramonda had already passed.[2]Weapons Circular Vibranium Blades: When she was forced into exile, and while waiting for Nakia to join them, Ramonda kept Circular Vibranium Blades with her to be able to defend herself and Shuri should they be attacked. Other Equipment Kimoyo Beads: Like many Wakandans, Ramonda possessed Kimoyo Beads she carried as a bracelet and which could serve many purposes. Facilities Citadel: The Citadel is the palace of the Golden Tribe and the rulers of Wakanda. They notably held Tribal Council meetings in the Citadel's throne room. Ramonda was present when her son T'Challa held a Tribal Council meeting during which Okoye announced that they had discovered Ulysses Klaue had resurfaced, when Erik Killmonger came to claim the throne of Wakanda and challenged T'Challa in the throne room, leading to him being incoronated, and when T'Challa and his family reclaimed their place in the Citadel once Killmonger had been stopped and dethroned.Relationships Family Lumumba - Mother Golden Tribe Bashenga † - Ancestor-in-Law Ancestor-in-Law[12] † Andile[13] † - Great Great Great-Grandfather-in-Law Bazwale † - Great Great-Grandfather-in-Law Yima † - Great-Grandfather-in-Law Kabba † - Grandfather-in-Law Azzuri † - Father-in-Law T'Chaka † - Husband N'Jobu † - Brother-in-Law T'Challa/Black Panther † - Son Shuri/Black Panther - Daughter N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Nephew-by-Marriage T'Challa II - Grandson Co-Sister-in-Law † Allies Dora Milaje Okoye Ayo Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Aneka Jemini Zuri † Nakia Wakandan Royal Guard Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari M'Baku - Former Enemy Mining Tribe Elder CIA Everett Ross Assata Griot Riri Williams/Ironheart Enemies Ulysses Klaue † W'Kabi - Former Ally U.S. State Secretary - Situational Enemy Talokanil Okoye: Okoye is the former General of the Dora Milaje and the head of Wakandan armed forces and intel. Witnessing T'Challa's coronation, she joined him in tracking down Ulysses Klaue. When Erik Killmonger overthrew T'Challa, Okoye found herself conflicted between her friendship with T'Challa or her duty to her new king. T'Challa soon returned and Okoye soon joined him in the fight against Killmonger and successfully taking back the throne. When Thanos and his forces arrived on Earth to forcefully take the Mind Stone from Vision, Okoye soon was forced to defend Wakanda alongside her king and the Avengers. Although they succeeded in killing Thanos' forces when Thanos himself came on Wakanda, Okoye and the other heroes were completely overpowered and unable to stop him from completing the Infinity Gauntlet, though Okoye remained one of the survivors. In the wake of the Snap, Okoye joined the Avengers, serving under the command of Natasha Romanoff whilst simultaneously leading the Dora Milaje in Wakanda. In 2023, when the Blip resurrected all the lives claimed by the Snap, she joined T'Challa and the Wakandans to provide aid for the Avengers during the Battle of Earth, killing Corvus Glaive. Following the aftermath of the battle, with the Avengers now defunct, she returned to Wakanda and resumed serving T'Challa. With the death of T'Challa and a looming threat of Namor, the duty to protect Wakanda and vibranium fell on Okoye's shoulders again. Together with Shuri, Okoye attempted to protect Riri Williams from the Talokanil; however, Shuri ended up being captured. For recklessly putting the Princess in danger, Okoye was stripped from her rank as the Dora Milaje General by Ramonda. Seeking a way to redeem herself, Okoye continued to fight during the Talokanil-Wakandan War, which claimed Ramonda's life. Using the armors, created by Shuri, Okoye and Aneka became Midnight Angels and fought against the Talokanil during a final battle, as well as rescued Everett Ross from being arrested for helping Wakanda. In 2008, on orders of T'Chaka, Okoye was sent with T'Challa when he went to save Wakandan hostages from Zanda and Douglas Scott, to report back on T'Challa's progress as the Black Panther. Saving the hostages while Black Panther distracted the mercenaries, Okoye ended up confronted by Scott. Once the hostages escaped, and the police stormed the building, the mercenaries fled, and Black Panther made Okoye return to their aircraft to follow them. Following them to a yacht, Black Panther and Okoye took out the mercenaries and confronted Zanda and Scott. Okoye fought Scott again but was almost killed by a surprise attack, spared only when Black Panther dropped a metal bar on Scott's hands[6]. Upon returning to Wakanda, Okoye told T'Chaka how T'Challa proved himself in the field, though left out how she assisted him in her report, despite T'Chaka deducing her part in the rescue mission.[7] In 2016, a week after the death of the king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, T'Challa decided to retrieve Nakia from her current War Dogs mission as he wished for her to be present during his coronation. As a pilot for her king, Okoye and T'Challa flew a Royal Talon Fighter to Nigeria where Nakia was located.As T'Challa prepared for his mission by using one of the tablets to look at where Nakia and the missing Chibok girls are located, Okoye informed him where they're heading near the border of Wakanda. Getting up from her chair, Okoye was about to equip a Vibranium Spear by her side but was told by her king that he could handle the mission on his own, much to her surprise. Okoye then puts her Vibranium Spear aside and listened to T'Challa's word on getting Nakia out of the forest.Understanding her orders, Okoye gave Kimoyo Beads to T'Challa for the mission and told him to not freeze when Nakia arrives, as he countered that he never freezes in a confrontation. As T'Challa put on his helmet and dropped down the airship, Okoye observed her king from afar as the traffickers noticed the trucks were hit by an EMP. T'Challa ambushed the gunmen before he encountered a child soldier just until Nakia then arrived to save himAs T'Challa and Nakia had a brief talk with each other, a surviving gunman tried to force them to surrender by threatening a hostage, only for Okoye to swiftly disarm and then run him through with her Vibranium Spear, saving T'Challa from a tough situation and ending the skirmish. Okoye teased T'Challa for his lack of focus and looked over the woman being held hostage. While Okoye rescues the women, T'Challa told of his father's death and invited her to the coronation.Once Nakia agreed on T'Challa for participating in the coronation, she went over the women who are gathered and told them to go home and take the boy to his people. As Nakia left the group alone, Okoye confronted the women and told them not to speak about what happened that night, as they agreed on her terms. Okoye smiled at the women and left with bitter hope of returning home. Okoye piloted the Royal Talon Fighter with T'Challa and Nakia on board.[8]Upon on the horizon, Okoye and T'Challa succeeded in their mission and headed on home to Wakanda with Nakia. As the sun rises from above, T'Challa was comforted by Nakia, as they were deeply saddened by the former king T'Chaka's death. While T'Challa and Nakia had converse, Okoye piloted the Royal Talon Fighter until they reached their destination.While heading near the mountains of her home, Okoye reached her destination and announced T'Challa their arrival as they flew by cloudy ruins of the mountains and pass the Border Tribe people that are waving back at them. As they were getting closer to the holographic dome, Okoye flew past it and arrived at Birnin Zana and landed on the helipad as the Dora Milaje were waiting for the prince's arrival.As the Queen Mother Ramonda and Shuri waited for the Royal Talon Fighter to release the shuttle, T'Challa walked out of the jet with Okoye and Nakia. Once Nakia had apologized for Ramonda's loss, Okoye told Ayo to escort her to the River Tribe, as she accepted. When Shuri asked if her brother froze upon seeing his ex, Okoye giddily confirmed, comparing him to "an antelope in headlights", as the two laughed. Once Okoye stopped joking, she gathered the Dora Milaje to leave the perimeter.[8]As T'Challa went to prepare for the ceremony, Okoye participated with the Dora Milaje for the prince's following preparation. As Shuri and Ramonda were ceremonial dancing as well as the other five tribes, Okoye commanded alongside the Dora Milaje and raised up their Vibranium Spear and send a sonic signal beneath the river to let a Royal Talon Fighter rise up from the shuttle and let the prince through the rivers of the land.En route to Warrior Falls, as all of the tribes of Wakanda sailed along the river, with Okoye and the Dora Milaje leading as they awaited the arrival of T'Challa. Okoye watched T'Challa during his settlement with the five tribes but was later confronted with M'Baku of the Jabari Tribe. As the dispute resulted into a fight, T'Challa won the fight against M'Baku, as the crowd went wild with excitement and Okoye supporting him when he was crowned as King of Wakanda.[8]While T'Challa took the time to visit the Border Tribe and see how W'Kabi was doing in his farm and talking about aiding other countries, Okoye alerted both of them through the use of their Kimoyo Beads to inform that a misidentified Wakandan artifact was stolen from the Museum of Great Britain and Ulysses Klaue had plans to sell it to an American buyer in South Korea.When the Tribal Council convened, Okoye informed them that Klaue would be in Busan. She supported a mission to capture or kill Klaue, arguing that it was too good an opportunity to let pass. T'Challa decided that he, along with Okoye and Nakia, would go to South Korea, promising W'Kabi that he will kill where he stands. As T'Challa had settled in the procedure with the mission by having a new Panther Habit, Okoye participated in the operation with the idea of using the disguise before tracking in Klaue's location.[8]Once the group learned that Klaue had stolen a vibranium artifact from the Museum of Great Britain and was planning to sell it on the black market, Okoye joined T'Challa and Nakia to travel to Busan to arrest Ulysses Klaue. Getting out of the car, Okoye grumbled about the wig she was forced to wear as part of her disguise, expressing a desire for the mission to go quickly so she could remove it.Following Nakia, Okoye listened to her talking to a woman who owned a fish market business, telling her to gain passage with her friends. Okoye entered into Jagalchi Market Casino despite her suspicions of the woman. Upon entering, the group decided to split up to cover more area, with Okoye asking her partners to focus on the mission instead of having personal conversations. As Nakia sat at the bar and spotted some Americans, thus potential buyers to Klaue, Okoye saw more coming into the casino carrying diamonds, informing that the situation is a setup. Meanwhile, Okoye was informed by T'Challa that Everett Ross and the CIA was alsopresentKlaue eventually arrived in the casino with more bodyguards, and Okoye noticed that all of them were armed. As Nakia intended to move forward against Klaue, Okoye instructed her to wait, but this caused her to be identified as a Wakandan hostile by a bodyguard. Knowing that her cover was no longer relevant, Okoye unsheathed her Vibranium Spear and took down the two bodyguards who attacked her. Klaue began a shootout in the casino and made an escape.Okoye managed to defeat several bodyguards and left the casino with Nakia to chase Klaue who escaped with multiples SUVs. Pursuing, Okoye tossed a remote access Kimoyo Bead onto a parked car for T'Challa's use whilst she and Nakia gave chase in their vibranium car. Okoye and Nakia tailed onto one of Klaue's SUV, driving away on a two-lane street. Okoye informed Nakia that Klaue's henchmen are trying to lose them on each lane.Further tailing Klaue's SUV, Okoye commented on the use of guns as primitive while the henchmen shot at their vibranium car. Getting calmly frustrated, Okoye slid out of the passenger window and climbed onto the roof of her own car while Nakia was driving, stabbing her Vibranium spear on the roof of the vehicle as a handle. Nakia dropped back and weaved through traffic as Okoye engaged her spear mechanism, then steadied herself and threw her spear at the rear SUV; the weapon went clean through both the rear and front windscreen to jam itself in the road, causing the SUV to crash into it and taking it out for the count.Leaving only Klaue's SUV to chase down, Okoye witnessed Klaue being retaliated and fired his prosthetic arm's sonic cannon, destroying Okoye's car. Flying in mid-air with car parts being in pieces, Okoye manages to catch her spear and land on the shredded roof of the car while Nakia skids towards her with the driver's seat and belt buckle intact. Being witnessed by Ross, Okoye and Nakia were picked up by him and took them to KlaueBefore Ross had managed to catch up to T'Challa, who had caused Klaue's car to crash before ripping out Klaue's prosthetic arm and threatening him with his Panther Claws. Seeing that T'Challa was preparing to execute Klaue on the spot in revenge, Okoye and Nakia had managed to convince him to stop as he was being filmed by several people. Following Klaue's arrest, Ross took everyone to the CIA South Korean Black Site.[8]With Ulysses Klaue finally in the custody of CIA, Okoye and T'Challa decided to go to the CIA South Korean Black Site, checking for answers of his past crimes. Taken into the interrogation room, Okoye looked after Klaue as he was handcuffed to chair from his hands and ankles and mockingly kissing at their mirrored glass where she was standingWhen Everett Ross confronted them aside from the glass window, Okoye advised T'Challa not to leave Ross to interrogate Klaue alone. When Ross gently tapped T'Challa's shoulder, Okoye took offense and threatened to impale him to a desk if he did it again in Xhosa, causing Ross to not understand what she said. T'Challa agreed to let Ross interrogate Klaue on his own while putting a bug on his shoulder to listen to him closely. T'Challa then told Okoye to be nice, despite her displeasement with AmericansOkoye watched in silence as Ross confronted T'Challa about Klaue's reveal that Wakanda actually had large supplies of Vibranium. Listening further, Okoye noticed T'Challa's realization of Klaue spilling out information about Wakanda that shouldn't be said. Once Ross stepped out of the room, T'Challa was confronted over Klaue's claims about Wakanda, then the conversation was interrupted when Nakia informed them an attack is being held at the moment, only for an explosion to hit near them in the interrogation roomWhen an armed gunman breached the wall of the interrogation room and cause an explosion at the office, Okoye remained hidden and ready to attack but she witnessed a grenade being set off, only for Black Panther to stop it from exploding. As Klaue and his goons managed to escape in front of the base and Black Panther attempted to chase them down, Okoye noticed her king on the ground and informed him that someone has been shot.Okoye and T'Challa returned to the CIA facility where Ross had been heavily wounded while protecting Nakia. T'Challa used a Kimoyo Bead to stabilize his wound. Understanding the risks of bringing a foreign agent into his home, T'Challa ordered Ross brought to Wakanda to heal him, much to Okoye's confusion of his sudden decision. Despite the risk, Okoye brought Ross along the Royal Talon Fighter for medical attention.Traveling back to Wakanda, Okoye strongly advised T'Challa that they should have brought Klaue into the country instead of Ross, being a foreign intelligence agent. As Okoye object to the idea of Ross being taken into Wakanda before Nakia's life being saved, T'Challa decided to bring Ross to Wakanda for the reason that he can't just let him die knowing that he could save him. Asking T'Challa where Ross will be treated, Okoye was told that Shuri's Lab will suffice.[8]Gaining reports of an outsider from the Border Tribe, Okoye contacted Shuri, informing that a man showed up at the border claims to have killed Ulysses Klaue. With Shuri being confused, Okoye told her that W'Kabi is transporting the outsider to the Tribal Council and should warn T'Challa.When Okoye joined the throne room with the Tribal Council, she followed T'Challa as he stood up and came face to face with the man, who happened to be N'Jadaka, T'Challa's cousin, who went under the alias of Erik Killmonger. When Killmonger decided to reveal his name to the River Tribe Elder, Okoye witnessed the evidence by W'Kabi showing his Royal Ring. With the conflict between the people around him, T'Challa decided to accept the challenge from Killmonger.As T'Challa and Killmonger were both taken to Warrior Falls to prepare for their duel, Okoye watched the duel between them before Nakia asked about where Everett Ross was, answering that he was locked in her office. Okoye then watched with growing anguish as Killmonger slowly gained the upper hand over T'Challa. When Zuri intervened the fight, he was killed by Killmonger, causing shock for Okoye. When the fight reached its end, Okoye could hardly keep her tears as Killmonger defeated T'Challa and watched in horror as Killmonger threw T'Challa down the waterfall.[8]Following the duel, Okoye found Nakia, who had put Ramonda and Shuri in safety. Okoye then told Nakia that she could not follow them as she was bound to serve the throne of Wakanda no matter who sat on it. Therefore, Okoye let Nakia, Ramonda, and Shuri go into exile while she would reluctantly serve Erik Killmonger as her new KingOkoye attended Killmonger's first Tribal Council, where he explained his plan of delivering Vibranium weapons all over the world to start a global revolution. Okoye spoke against this plan, claiming that Wakanda has survived for so long by fighting when only absolutely necessary, only for W'Kabi to counter her argument and advocate for a change in Wakandan foreign policies before the outside world starts to catch up to them. As Killmonger began to tell her orders, Okoye was forced to comply with weapons to be sent throughout the world.Once the council had ended, Okoye argued with W'Kabi and questioned about how T'Challa was ever his friend. Knowing that W'Kabi had no problem having Killmonger murder T'Challa, Okoye was told that it was his choice which made her even angry for the loss. W'Kabi then told Okoye that he wanted justice for his family after they were killed by Ulysses Klaue, much to Okoye's dismissal. W'Kabi told Okoye that Wakanda will still stand tall and hugged her.[10]As Erik Killmonger and the Border Tribe prepared to deliver Vibranium weapons to War Dogs around the world, Okoye witnessed the first plane being destroyed and expressed considerable joy and relief when she saw T'Challa emerging from the remnants of the aircraft. As Killmonger ordered W'Kabi to kill T'Challa, Okoye tried to keep him from it by claiming that the ritual challenge was not over but W'Kabi ordered the Border Tribe to charge.[8]While T'Challa faced the Border Tribe, Okoye and the rest of the Dora Milaje, who now owe Killmonger nothing since he had just forfeited his legal claim to the throne by refusing to continue the duel with T'Challa, openly rebelled against Erik Killmonger, calling him unworthy of ruling over Wakanda. Okoye ordered Ayo to take the Dora Milaje on the battlefield to assist T'Challa while she and three other Dora Milaje would fight against Killmonger, who wore an upgraded version of the Panther Habit to fight them.Okoye and her soldiers furiously fought against Killmonger, who managed to withstand their assault and took Xoliswa captive. As he executed her, Okoye screamed in rage and the Dora Milaje resumed their attack. Okoye and the group managed to block Killmonger between their Vibranium Spears and almost stripped him of the necklace which enabled him to use his suit, but Killmonger released a burst of kinetic energy, sending Okoye away on the battlefield.Okoye found herself surrounded by members of the Border Tribe, putting up their holographic shields and threatened them with their White Rhinoceroses. Okoye took down several opponents but ended up cornered by the Border Tribe with Shuri, Nakia and Ayo. As W'Kabi ordered them to surrender with a countdown, the support of the Jabari Tribe decided to side with T'Challa and helped them defeat the Border Tribe members.When she saw M'Baku being charged by W'Kabi riding his war rhinoceros, Okoye ran to get between them, having the rhinoceros recognize Okoye and stopped in front of her. When W'Kabi stepped down, Okoye ordered her husband to surrender. W'Kabi, being visibly saddened, asked Okoye if she would kill him and replied that she would not hesitate to do it for Wakanda. Becoming convinced, W'Kabi laid down his weapon and Okoye arrested him in the field.Heading over to United Nations, Okoye, T'Challa, Nakia, and Ayo walked into over to the Vienna International Centre. When Everett Ross arrived to meet up, T'Challa was greeted by him before being asked for a private conversation, to which T'Challa asked to give them space. Before leaving away from the conversation about revealing his Wakanda's secrets, T'Challa was wished good luck in Xhosa, however, he mispronounced some words which caused Okoye and Ayo to laugh while Ross insisted that he practiced his phrase. As T'Challa thanked him for Ross attempt to impress him, Okoye visited along with her king into the conference.[10With T'Challa being fully reinstated as the rightful King of Wakanda, Okoye accompanied him to a United Nations meeting in Vienna. Okoye stood behind T'Challa as he announced that Wakanda would open to the rest of the world, and she mildly smiled as a delegate asked what Wakanda, which he believed to be a nation of farmers, could offer to the international community.Okoye then rallied the Dora Milaje and prepared for battle on the fields, alongside the Avengers, M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe, the Border Tribe, and the Wakandan Royal Guard. She watched in horror as the Outriders began relentlessly charging into the Wakandan energy barrier, incinerating themselves with no regard for their own safety. She stood by T'Challa as he ordered a section of the barrier to be opened so that the enemy would funnel directly towards them.During the battle, Okoye and Romanoff were nearly killed by the Threshers, but were saved by Wanda Maximoff, who Okoye inquired as to why she wasn't there the whole time. Later, she and Romanoff then teamed up to fight Proxima Midnight, who was attempting to kill Maximoff. As they fought her, Maximoff used her powers to lift Midnight into the path of one of the Threshers, killing her.[4]Once the battle had ended, Okoye accompanied T'Challa into the forest with the other Avengers to protect Vision. She then witnessed Thanos’s arrival through a wormhole. In an attempt to prevent Thanos from reaching Vision, Okoye hurled her Sonic Spear at Thanos, but he easily repelled it with the Power Stone and then flung her away.Afterwards, Thanos took the Mind Stone from Vision and united the Infinity Stones into his Infinity Gauntlet and snapped his fingers. Okoye watched in absolute horror as T'Challa, who was trying to help her up, disintegrated into dust, causing her to cry out in clear alarm and confusion.[4]Okoye learned that Assata, a young disabled girl, wanted to become a member of the Dora Milaje. She sat down with Assata and offered her a modified training regiment so that she could follow her dream. However, Assata refused Okoye's help, choosing instead to study science. However, Assata returned to Okoye sometime later, asking to be trained for the Dora Milaje. Okoye asked about Assata's belief that it was impossible to join the Dora Milaje, but Assata replied that she should follow her dreams, even if she had to take different paths. Okoye told Assata that her grandmother would be proud of her. She told Assata the first step to training was to remove obstacles that seemed impossible. Okoye then began training Assata to use a Vibranium Spear.[13]In 2024, Okoye was heartbroken to hear the news that T'Challa was very sick. Although Shuri tried to save him, T'Challa passed away. At his funeral, Okoye sadly picked up the casket, crying for her king. She brought it to the Royal Talon Fighter where the casket got beamed up. She then crossed her arms in salute.[1]A year later, Okoye and the Dora Milaje went to the Wakandan Outreach Center to protect the Vibranium. When mercenaries arrived, Aneka opened the door, allowing Okoye, Ayo, and Yama to slowly walk out of the door. The then fought the intruders, deflecting multiple bullets. Okoye displayed swift abilities while ridiculing Aneka, who had brought new Vibranium Daggers. Aneka claimed that Shuri gave her them, but Okoye told her to stick to the traditional Vibranium Spear.The next day, the Dora accompanied Ramonda to a United Nations meeting. Ramonda told the world that even without the Black Panther, they were still a threat. She then brought out the Dora, who displayed the apprehended mercenaries. Ramonda used this to show the world not to mess with them.[1Ramonda called an emergency meeting for the elders and revealed that Namor infiltrated the border and spoke to her and Shuri. He claimed that his country's problem was their mess. They had to help him fix it by giving him the scientist who created the Vibranium Detector. Okoye sat down in her seat as M'Baku arrived. The two of them traded insults until they were told to stop by Ramonda.In Shuri's lab, Okoye looked at the Midnight Angel Armor that Shuri had been preparing, stating that it was still ugly. Shuri then showed how she ripped apart the detector to see the parts. Okoye pulled Ramonda aside, asking her to let Shuri go with her to Cambridge to get the scientist. Ramonda initially refused, but Okoye argued that it would be a good way for Shuri to get out of her lab.[1]Okoye and Shuri scouted out the scientist in Cambridge, realizing that she was just a kid named Riri Williams. Shuri wanted to talk to Williams alone. Although Okoye was skeptical, she allowed her five minutes. She was also worried about her makeup, but Shuri claimed it was fine. Okoye hid in the bathroom of Williams' dorm. When Williams walked in, Okoye walked out.Scared, Williams grabbed a speaker and threw it at Okoye, who sliced it in half with her spear. Williams then freaked out that Okoye brought a spear in there, making fun of her makeup. Shuri then laughed as Okoye felt betrayed. Before leaving, Shuri said that they were going to leave Williams to get killed by Namor. Hearing who he was, Williams finally agreed to come.They drove to a Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage and walked in, where Okoye looked around, seeing a car and scouting out the place while Williams grabbed her stuff. Suddenly, the FBI arrived, telling the Wakandans to come out. Okoye got into the car, telling Shuri to join her. Shuri claimed that they needed that space for Williams, but she left in her own homemade Iron Man style armor. Okoye then said there was no excuse, so Shuri got in. However, before leaving, she told Griot to get into auto drive. She then jumped out as Okoye left with Griot, without her consent. Shuri chased with a motorcycleThe FBI drove and chased after Okoye, but then Okoye threatened Griot. Griot gave in and gave Okoye manual controls. Okoye threw the spear into the back of the car, sending it through the trunk. She used this to flip a car over before meeting up with Shuri. Suddenly, a surveillance drone, sent by Williams, landed on the officers, allowing them to escape. When they thought they were safe, a spear with a rope came out of the water, and they were blasted with a Hydrobomb.Okoye got up and rushed to Shuri, who was knocked out. She was then approached by the Talokanil. Okoye easily took care of the warriors, seemingly killing them all. She was then approached by Attuma, a bigger Talokanil. He told his army to take care of the police by aiding Namora. The Talokanil, who she thought were dead, simply got up and ran. Okoye then fought Attuma, trading blows.Attuma slammed her spear down and threw her into it. Instead of killing her, however, he threw Okoye her own spear back. Okoye was shocked but took it to keep fighting. They fought some more until Okoye was knocked down. Attuma was impressed, calling her warrior. However, he said that she was not worth his blade. So, he took her spear and prepared to kill her. This allowed Okoye to shock him with her Kimoyo Beads. Attuma dropped the spear and threw her.Okoye drifted backwards but rammed her spear into the ground to stop herself. Namora then returned, telling Attuma to stop playing games. She threw Attuma a water bomb. He deflected it at Okoye, sending her flying over the bridge. She emerged from the water and saw Shuri being taken. She screamed for Shuri, in horror.[1]Okoye returned to Wakanda and reported what happened, saying she was going to get Shuri back. Ramonda was quiet at first, but simply told Okoye she was stripped from her rank as general, as well as her position on the Dora Milaje. Okoye broke down, telling Ramonda that she had given everything. M'Kathu stood up for Okoye, saying that she put a spear up to her own husband.Ramonda asked where her husband was; in a cell where she could visit him whenever she wanted. However, Ramonda did not have that luxury. She started yelling, saying she was Queen of the most powerful nation in the world and her entire family was gone, while questioning if she had not truly given everything. She stood by as Okoye was loyal to Erik Killmonger, so was everyone in the room. Today, she was done standing up for Okoye. Saddened, Okoye took her spear and stabbed it into the throne room floor before walking out.[1]Okoye decided that she needed to make it right. She walked out to a ship in order to save Shuri, but was stopped by Ayo. The new general told Okoye to stop under orders. Okoye did not care and moved further. The rest of the Dora Milaje then walked out towards Okoye, holding their spears to her. Ayo warned Okoye to back down as she did not want to spill her blood. Okoye complied to the warnings.[3]Okoye talked to Nakia, who had rescued Shuri. Nakia had returned to Wakanda, so they tried to catch up. Suddenly, they saw water sprinkling into the city. They looked over to see flooding. Okoye yelled that they were under attack just before a tidal wave washed through. Okoye saw a boy in the middle of the walkway, searching for his parents. Okoye charged at him and hugged him, taking the force of the wave.She got to a Royal Talon Fighter as she heard Attuma, who referred to her as warrior once again. She looked at him before telling the child to cross his arms so they could get beamed up. Okoye and Nakia then ran to the Citadel and found Riri Williams unconscious on the ground, but Ramonda underwater. Okoye lifted Ramonda up and out. She used her Kimoyo Beads to try to resuscitate Ramonda.As Shuri ran in, Okoye yelled at her to get back. Aneka and M'Baku held Shuri. Okoye tried to restart Ramonda's heart multiple times, but Nakia stopped her, saying it was over. Okoye cried over her queen, heartbroken as Shuri collapsed, crying. Okoye then attended Ramonda's funeral, crying.[1M'Kathu told Okoye that he wanted to meet with her, so Okoye rode a horse out to the Border Tribe. M'Kathu walked with Okoye, calling her the daughter of the border. He said that there was now a difficult decision for leader as they could get assassinated by Namor. He said that when they would do the incoronation, Okoye should challenge. Okoye did not believe that was right, but M'Kathu was worried about Shuri's leadership, especially when she was mourning. M'Kathu assured Okoye that she had the support of the people.[3]Okoye approached the mourning Shuri in her lab. Along with Nakia and Riri Williams, she helped Shuri recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb, allowing Shuri to become the Black Panther. As they set up to end the conflict, Okoye approached Aneka. She proposed that they become Midnight Angels, seeking a new purpose.[1]The Wakandans lured the Talokanil to the Sea Leopard, staging an ambush. Okoye and Aneka flew in on their Midnight Angel Armor and took care of the Talokanil before getting onto the ship. Okoye immediately scouted out Attuma, calling him warrior in Yucatec Mayan. He noticed that she spoke the mother tongue, but it was time for her to join the ancestorsOkoye fought him for a while, before repeating the same thing to him. She then threw him off of the ship and into the water, finally defeating her foe. She then crowded with the Wakandans, fearing for their lives as they fought. Luckily, Black Panther and Namor returned from their own battle, announcing a truce. Shuri then chanted "Wakanda forever," as the warriors repeated it back.[1]Okoye left Wakanda for good as she had a new purpose. She found the van that was taking the arrested Everett Ross. Using her Midnight Angel Armor, she knocked down a tree to stop the van. She then ripped open the back doors, scaring Ross, who realized it was Okoye. She then made a joke about Ross being "a colonizer in chains" before breaking him out.[1]Okoye followed Shuri to Haiti, where Shuri intended to move. Shuri noticed Okoye and said she did not need to always protect her. Okoye simply said she was saying goodbye as she wanted to see where her Midnight Angel Armor could take her. Shuri pointed out that she said it was ugly. Okoye admitted it was ugly for a Dora Milaje, which she was not. She then left Shuri, but not before saying that in the case of trouble, she would be there anywhere, anytime.[Midnight Angels Armor Capabilities: Okoye was given an armor by Shuri after she was fired from her position on the Dora Milaje. The armor was blue and had a design that Okoye was not fond of. Superhuman Strength: While wearing the armor, Okoye's strength was tremendously increased to help her battle the Talokanil. Superhuman Durability: The armor gave Okoye an extra thick layer of protection in battle. Superhuman Speed: Okoye flew around the Sea Leopard at great speed, fast enough to catch up to Ironheart. Superhuman Agility: Okoye could perform many agile maneuvers in the air. Superhuman Stamina: While wearing the armor, Okoye did not need to exert a lot of energy which allowed her to battle the Talokanil for extended periods of time. Superhuman Reflexes: Okoye was able to dodge attacks during a battle against the Talokanil. Flight: The armor possessed thrusters that allowed her to fly through the air and attack airborne Talokanil.Spear Mastery: Okoye impaling Okoye impaling Corvus Glaive Okoye is extremely skilled at using her Vibranium Spear in close quarters combat and as a long-ranged weapon. She is also very accurate when throwing her spear, as she was able to throw it through a car's windshield and into the road to halt the vehicle. She also threw her spear at Thanos' face accurately while running, although it was stopped by the Mad Titan using the Space Stone. Okoye has taken out multiple enemies with her spear at once. During the Battle of Earth, Okoye is seen impaling and flinging away Corvus Glaive. She was able to take down four Talokanil at once with her spear and blocked many attacks by Attuma. Following one attack, she used her spear to plant herself into the ground before flying off the edge of the bridge.Master Tactician: Okoye is the leader of the Dora Milaje. She led them through the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Battle of Wakanda, and the Battle of Earth. Her leadership earns her friendship and power with Black Panther and Wakanda. As a leader, she is also very loyal, having to choose the side of Erik Killmonger at first because of her duty as the leader. She eventually turned on him though.Weapons Vibranium Spear: Okoye wields her spear next to Okoye uses a specialized Vibranium spear capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. The spear is sharp enough to pierce a Vibranium car during the Arrest of Ulysses Klaue and is strong enough to stop an SUV, as seen when Okoye threw it through the windshield of Klaue's goons' vehicle and embedded it into the road ahead, totaling the vehicle on impact. Her spear along with others have been shown to be able to interact with technology by striking the ground with the blunt end, notably electrocuting an enemy during the brawl at the Jagalchi Market Casino, and activating the drainage system for Warrior Falls.Other Equipment Dora Milaje Armor: As the General of the Dora Milaje, Okoye wears a slightly more elaborated version of the Dora Milaje armor, notably with the epaulets, bracelets, and necklace being golden instead of silver. Being made of Vibranium weaves, the armor offers high durability and protection. Kimoyo Beads: Okoye used her Kimoyo Beads to project images to the Tribal Council and to control the Royal Talon Fighter. Magnetic Boots: Okoye wore boots with magnetic soles during the Arrest of Ulysses Klaue, using them to secure herself on the roof of the Vibranium car Nakia drove.[16] Midnight Angel Armor: Shuri made Midnight Angels Armor that was used by Okoye to fight with Talokanil in ambush after she was stripped of her rank as the General of the Dora Milaje by Queen Mother Ramonda.Relationships Family Korabo - Father Mother Father-in-Law † Mother-in-Law † W'Kabi - Husband M'Kathu - Uncle[3] Children Allies Golden Tribe T'Chaka † - Former King and Friend Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King and Close Friend Shuri/Black Panther - Close Friend Tribal Council River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Dora Milaje - Former Subordinates and Temporary Enemies Ala Ayo - Successor Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Assata War Dogs Nakia - Close Friend Border Tribe - Temporary Enemies Wakandan Royal Guard - Temporary Enemies M20 CIA Everett Ross - Friend Jabari Tribe - Temporary Enemies M'Baku Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Avengers - Former Teammates Steve Rogers/Captain America Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † - Former Leader Bruce Banner/Hulk Wanda Maximoff † Vision † James Rhodes/War Machine Sam Wilson/Falcon Thor Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Scott Lang/Ant-Man Tony Stark/Iron Man † Peter Parker/Spider-Man Clint Barton/Hawkeye Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket - Former Teammate Groot Nebula - Former Teammate Peter Quill/Star-Lord Mantis Drax the Destroyer Masters of the Mystic Arts Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange Wong Brunnhilde/Valkyrie Warsong Korg Miek Einherjar Ravagers Kraglin Obfonteri Howard the Duck Hope van Dyne/Wasp Pepper Potts/Rescue Gamora Griot Riri Williams/Ironheart Midnight Angels Aneka - Former Subordinate and Teammate Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor Attuma - Former Attempted Killer and Rival Namora Enemies Douglas Scott Zanda † Ulysses Klaue † Dave N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Former King Black Order Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Outriders † Thanos † Thanos † Black Order Ebony Maw † Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Corvus Glaive † - Victim Chitauri Leviathans Chitauri Gorillas Sakaarans French Armed Forces FBI Pete Shauver Cambrid nakia: Nakia is a former member of the War Dogs and T'Challa's lover, who was often sent on missions around the world, witnessing the hardships experienced by many people and growing the belief that Wakanda should actively help them. She was pulled out of an assignment to attend the Coronation of T'Challa and took part in a mission in order to arrest the criminal Ulysses Klaue. Following their failure to apprehend him, Nakia exiled herself when Erik Killmonger took the throne of Wakanda. She reunited with T'Challa in Jabariland and assisted him in reclaiming the throne from Killmonger. When T'Challa decided to open Wakanda to the rest of the world, Nakia would oversee the humanitarian policy of Wakanda.In secret, Nakia and T'Challa had a child, Toussaint, who Nakia raised in Haiti after the Snap. In 2025, one year after the death of T'Challa, Queen Ramonda had visited Nakia and recruited her into rescuing Shuri from the clutches of the Talokanil, an underwater civilization on the verge of waring with the Wakandans. In the process of the rescue, Nakia saved Shuri while inadverantly sparking the Talokanil-Wakandan War, where Ramonda would be killed by the Talokanil leader Namor. Nakia then agreed to join Shuri and Wakanda in their campaign to fight Talokan in a final confrontation, which eventually ended in a truce between the two nations. When the war had finished, Nakia invited Shuri to Haiti and introduced her to her nephew.Two years later, Nakia was still on her undercover mission. She traveled in a truck with several other captives until the truck line was suddenly stopped. As the captors engaged in defense position, Nakia sneaked out of the truck. While Black Panther suddenly attacked the traffickers, Nakia picked up a machine gun and assisted him in the fact. She then stopped Black Panther as he moved forward to the last soldier, claiming that he was a young boy who had been forced to carry a weapon.One last soldier took another woman hostage in front of Nakia and Black Panther, only to be taken down by Okoye. With the attack being over, Nakia blamed Black Panther for having sabotaged her cover. However, Black Panther informed her that T'Chaka had died and that he wanted her to attend his incoronation. Therefore, Nakia told the captives to go home and agreed to return to Wakanda. During the journey, Nakia comforted T'Challa over the loss of his father.[2]Upon arriving in Birnin Zana, Nakia left with Ayo who escorted her back to the River Tribe province to prepare for the impending Coronation of T'Challa. Nakia then went onto the River Tribe's boat during the ceremony, performing the ritual dances along with the other members of her tribe. Later, Nakia attended the coronation ceremony and was surprised when M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe arrived and declared that they would challenge T'Challa for the throne.T'Challa accepted the challenge, and Nakia then attended the duel between T'Challa and M'Baku, expressing distress when M'Baku stabbed T'Challa in the shoulder with his knobkerrie. However, T'Challa eventually triumphed over M'Baku, much to Nakia's joy who happily cheered her new King. Therefore, T'Challa was celebrated by the people of Wakanda as he was officially crowned the King of Wakanda.[2]Later, Nakia took a walk with T'Challa in the Birnin Zana. When T'Challa asked her to remain in Wakanda, Nakia insisted that she wanted to return into a mission to help other people outside her country. Indeed, Nakia thought that Wakanda should do more towards people in need instead of keeping hiding from the world, although T'Challa did not share her views. When T'Challa noticed that her stubbornness would keep her from being a great Queen, Nakia replied that this was what would make her a great Queen, making her imply that she thought about it.[2]Nakia was later recruited for a mission along with Black Panther and Okoye to arrest the criminal Ulysses Klaue. They journeyed to Busan, South Korea, where Nakia reached her contact Sophia, who had information regarding the deal Klaue was about to make in the Jagalchi Market Casino. They entered the casino and decided to split up to cover more area. Nakia sat at the bar and soon spotted three Americans, suspecting them to work with Klaue's buyer.While T'Challa discovered that CIA operative Everett Ross was the buyer, Klaue arrived in the casino with more bodyguards, prompting Nakia to stand up and be ready for action. As more Americans kept coming, Nakia and the others out figured out that this was an ambush meant for them. When bodyguards eventually identified Okoye as a target, a violent gunfight erupted in the casino. Nakia took down several of Klaue's bodyguards before leaving the casino with Okoye.Both Nakia and Okoye engaged in the hot pursuit in the streets of Busan, chasing Klaue in his SUV. They successfully followed him for a while, nearly catching up with him, but in the end, Klaue used his prosthetic hand's cannon to blast their car, leaving them behind while he escaped. Nakia and Okoye were then picked up by CIA Agent Everett Ross, who took them to where Black Panther had ultimately caught Klaue. Nakia begged him not to execute Klaue as they were being watched by numerous witnesses.[2]Nakia joined the CIA South Korean Black Site along with Black Panther and Okoye. However, while Ulysses Klaue was being interrogated, Nakia figured out that something was not right outside the CIA facility. Indeed, a disguised Erik Killmonger had arrived to release Klaue. Killmonger began shooting in the facility and Everett Ross jumped in front of Nakia, taking a bullet for her. Nakia then agreed with Black Panther upon bringing Ross to Wakanda to heal him.[2]Back in Wakanda, Nakia took some time alone with T'Challa, who had learned the truth about his uncle N'Jobu who had betrayed Wakanda and had been killed by T'Challa's father T'Chaka. Nakia comforted T'Challa, stating that he was not responsible for his father's mistakes and that he had to choose what kind of King he would be. Their conversation was however interrupted as Shuri called T'Challa and asked him to come back to her lab, along with Everett Ross, who was recovering from his gunshot wound.At Shuri's Lab, the two uncovered that the man from earlier was Erik Killmonger, whose real name was Erik Stevens, a former Navy Seal and a member of a CIA black ops assassination squad. Indeed, Killmonger had returned to Wakanda with the corpse of Ulysses Klaue as a gift. Nakia listened to Everett Ross' presentation about Killmonger, all the while exchanging concerned looks with T'Challa.[2]Later, Nakia attended the duel between Erik Killmonger and T'Challa. When Okoye asked her where Everett Ross was, Nakia replied that she had locked him up. Nakia then watched the fight and despite her support, T'Challa was defeated and Zuri was murdered by Killmonger. Nakia watched in horror as Killmonger took T'Challa and threw him over the waterfall, leaving him for dead. Knowing that they were in danger as of now, Nakia took Shuri and Ramonda away for safety.[2]Nakia later met with Okoye and asked her to come with them and leave Birnin Zana. However, Okoye refused claiming that she was bound to serve whoever sat on the throne of Wakanda. Nakia replied that she loved Wakanda as much as Okoye did and that she would save it from Killmonger while Okoye would serve the new King. Nakia then went to find Everett Ross. She informed him of T'Challa's demise and gave him clothes so he could escape with Shuri, Ramonda and Nakia herself.Before leaving Birnin Zana, however, Nakia went to the City of the Dead, where Killmonger was to undergo the ceremony where he would meet his ancestors on the Ancestral Plane. Nakia watched as Killmonger returned from his interdimensional journey and ordered all the Heart-Shaped Herb to be burnt down. Nakia managed to salvage one single herb before secretly leaving. She then reunited with Shuri, Ramonda and Ross and they made their way to Jabariland, where they intended to give the Herb to M'Baku so he could challenge Killmonger.On the way, Ramonda questioned this plan and suggested that Nakia should take the herb herself, but she refused, as she was a spy with no army. They were captured by Jabari warriors who brought them to M'Baku. Nakia explained to M'Baku that they had come to offer him the Heart-Shaped Herb so he could help them overthrow Killmonger. However, instead of taking it, M'Baku took Nakia and the others with them and revealed the truth: T'Challa was alive and had been secretly kept by the Jabari Tribe.Nakia gave the Heart-Shaped Herb to Ramonda, who crushed it into the drink which would restore the powers of the Black Panther. Thanks to that, T'Challa was revived, much to Nakia's joy. They returned to the Jabari throne room, where Nakia explained the situation in Wakanda and swore to fight at T'Challa's side against Killmonger.[2]Nakia, Shuri and Everett Ross sneaked into Shuri's Lab while Black Panther faced the Border Tribe who followed Erik Killmonger. Nakia then reclaimed advanced Circular Vibranium Blades and, on Shuri's request, wore a Dora Milaje armor. She then left the lab with Shuri, leaving Ross behind so he could take remote control of the Royal Talon Fighter. Nakia and Shuri joined the battlefield on Mount Bashenga and quickly confronted Killmonger as he had defeated Okoye and two other DorasUsing her Circular Vibranium Blades, Nakia managed to disarm Killmonger, but he fought back and wounded her on the thigh with his Panther Habit's claws. He then threw Nakia away before turning to Shuri. As Black Panther joined into the fight, Nakia was found by Shuri, and they decided to resume the fight against the Border Tribe alongside with the Dora Milaje. However, they were outnumbered and Nakia, Okoye, Shuri and Ayo found themselves cornered by the Border Tribe.Nakia and the others were eventually saved by M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe, who came into battle to fight for Black Panther. Thanks to these reinforcements, Nakia was able to defeat several members of the Border Tribe. In the end, the Border Tribe surrendered while Black Panther successfully defeated Killmonger.[2]In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Nakia was present in the throne room as T'Challa returned as the rightful King of Wakanda. She then took another walk with T'Challa in the streets of Birnin Zana. When T'Challa thanked her for having saved both himself and Wakanda, Nakia simply replied that she had done her duty and protected what she loved, prompting T'Challa to kiss her. Nakia kissed him back and T'Challa announced that he had found a way for her to fulfill her plans of providing the world with assistance.In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Nakia was present in the throne room as T'Challa returned as the rightful King of Wakanda.

Nakia kissed him back and T'Challa announced that he had found a way for her to fulfill her plans of providing the world with assistance.As T'Challa decided to create Wakandan International Outreach Center, Nakia was appointed a head of the social outreach department.[2] She then accompanied T'Challa to Vienna for a United Nations meeting during which T'Challa decided to open Wakanda to the world, following Nakia's advice.[2]Sometime later, Nakia and T'Challa had a son together and kept his existence a secret. Nakia abandoned her positions, leaving the War Dogs, and made plans with T'Challa for her to move to Haiti. They decided to move there so their son wouldn't be pressured with the Golden Tribe.[1]In 2018, Nakia, pregnant with her son, was kept away when the battle with aliens occurred. She and her son then survived the Snap. After learning that T'Challa and Shuri had disappeared, she and her son, without telling anyone, moved to Haiti. Making the move and grieving the losses wasn't an easy feat for her.[1] Community Work She then gave birth to her son there. During the next five years, she bought a house for herself where she raised her son. She also took part in helping out at nearby orphanages, working as a headmistress.[1]In 2023, Nakia was contacted by T'Challa after he had been restored to life and was visited by him. In 2024, he told her about his illness and prepared her and their son for his subsequent death. He also told her that when he died, he wanted her to stay there and not attend his funeral. After he passed, Nakia held a little funeral at her house.[1]Nakia was living peacefully in Haiti when she was approached by Toussaint who had led Ramonda to her. Nakia talked to Ramonda about all that had happened in the past six years. Ramonda then told Nakia that Shuri had been taken and asked for her help. Nakia wanted Ramonda to distract Namor while she went in.Nakia searched Mexico for any information on Namor, trying to find his location. She approached a woman, posing as a student and she asked for information, but the woman did not want to speak to outsiders, telling Nakia to go. Nakia then spoke in Yucatec Mayan, telling her that she has seen him, too. The woman then told Nakia about Namor.[1]Nakia located the underwater nation of Talokan and used an underwater vehicle to travel into a cave. She emerged in a cave without water and found Shuri. She pointed her gun at a Talokanil that was holding Shuri by the throat. Nakia spoke in Xhosa, telling Shuri to move her left arm. Once she did, Nakia shot the Talokanil. Although Shuri wanted to help the woman, Nakia told her she was as good as dead. They hopped on her vehicle and made it to the surface where Ramonda reunited with Shuri, thanking Nakia.[1]Nakia finally returned to Wakanda after six years. She talked with Okoye in the city about T'Challa and his death. Suddenly, water came rushing through the city. Okoye told her they were under attack. Nakia and Okoye used a ship to rescue many civilians including Shuri. They then rushed to the Citadel where they found Ramonda and Riri Williams drowning.Nakia grabbed Williams and used Kimoyo Beads to try to resuscitate her. Following many attempts, Williams finally woke up, spitting and coughing out water. Nakia then ran over to Okoye, who was doing the same to Ramonda. Nakia connected her beads to Ramonda's and figured out it was too late for her. Nakia told Okoye to back off as it was too late, the queen was dead. Nakia stayed silent at the funeral as Shuri mourned.Nakia met with the grieving Shuri in her lab. Shuri was set on recreating the Heart-Shaped Herb so she could take Namor down. Nakia helped her recreate the herb along with Riri Williams. Nakia then set Shuri down and had her drink the substance. When Shuri woke up, she claimed not to feel any different. Angry that it did not work, she argued with Nakia before punching a mannequin, only for it to go flying. Realizing she did have strength, Nakia told Shuri to make a suit.[1Prior to luring the Talokanil to the Sea Leopard, Nakia approached the new Black Panther. Nakia first told Shuri that she would always have a home with her in Haiti. She then told Shuri to breathe, which she did. Nakia then asked Shuri who she saw in the Ancestral Plane. Shuri backed off, refusing to say. Fearing the worst, Nakia told Shuri that killing out of vengeance would only make things worse, it will grow the hole in her heart until it consumed her. Shuri told Nakia that she was already consumedOn the Sea Leopard, the Talokanil arrived, allowing the Wakandans to ambush. Nakia fought the Talokanil, but Namor threw an aircraft onto the ship. When Black Panther got Namor away, Nakia and M'Baku ordered the ship to retreat. However, the Talokanil bombed the bottom of the ship, making it nearly tipped over, sending many Wakandans into the deadly seas below. Nakia used her Circular Vibranium Blades in battle. Finally, Shuri and Namor returned from their own battle, having struck a truce. The fight ended with the Wakandans praising the Black Panther once again.[1]Nakia then returned to Haiti. She and her son joined Shuri on the beach next to her house, and introduced him to her as her and T'Challa's child.Nakia explained to Shuri that she and T'Challa had agreed it was better for him to grow up in Haiti, away from the pressure of being Wakanda's king. She also revealed that he had prepared them for his death, and told them not to come to his funeral. Shuri then asked if her mother had met him before her passing, which Nakia confirmed.[1]Master Spy: Nakia going undercover as a captive Nakia going undercover as a captive

Her cover was only broken when Black Panther sought her out himself and ruined the mission. She can also scout out who the most dangerous men are. When T'Challa went to kill one of the kidnappers, Nakia stopped him and showed that it was just a kid. When Erik Killmonger became King, she was able to negotiate with M'Baku for protection. She then infiltrated the farm and stole a Heart-Shaped Herb for T'Challa. When trying to find Shuri, Nakia was able to gain the trust of a Yucatán woman.formidableMaster Combatant: Nakia is highly skilled and in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts.

She was also able to accurately shoot down two Talokanils while rescuing Shuri and Riri Williams. Multilingualism: Nakia is fluent in her native Xhosa, as well as English, Korean, Spanish, Yucatec Maya and Haitian Creole Weapons Circular Vibranium Blades: Nakia's Circular Vibranium Blades are charged with some form of energy and are seen as being able to bounce back to her grip after throwing one at Erik Killmonger. It is unclear whether or not this is because of skill or technology though. She used the same weapon to fight several members of the Border Tribe and the Talokanil. SIG-Sauer P226R: Nakia managed to seize one of the handguns belonging to Ulysses Klaue's men when they started to attack during the sale of the Vibranium weapon at the Jagalchi Market Casino.

Initially a staunch opponent of T'Challa's rule, M'Baku ended up torn between challenging him for the throne and helping him defend Wakanda from Erik Killmonger. Seeing the threat that Killmonger posed to the world, M'Baku chose to save T'Challa's life and gathered his armies to help defeat Killmonger in their final battle, with M'Baku gaining a seat on the Tribal Council as a result of his choice. Two years later, M'Baku aided the other tribes in defending Wakanda from Thanos' army of Outriders. While succeeding in killing all of Thanos' forces, they failed to stop him from gathering all six Infinity Stones and M'Baku was one of the survivors of the Snap. Once the Snap's victims were resurrected in 2023, M'Baku was enlisted by the Masters of the Mystic Arts to aid the Avengers and participate in the Battle of Earth. With T'Challa having recently passed away, as Wakanda was under the threat of the Talokanil, led by Namor, M'Baku called for swift action against them. The Talokanil attacked Birnin Zana, and M'Baku provided shelter for the refugees after the attack, before he joined Shuri, the new Black Panther, in the final battle against Namor. Once Namor surrendered and Wakanda resumed its normal life, Shuri decided to travel the world, so M'Baku called for a challenge for the throne of Wakanda, and became King.M'Baku grew up in Jabariland, where he learned to shun Birnin Zana's use of Vibranium and held distaste for its mainstream lifestyle. Eventually, M'Baku gained leadership over the tribe and set out to rule over the Jabari Tribe. M'Baku was disgusted as the technological advancements of Wakanda had been overseen by Shuri, who in his opinion had no respect for tradition. Disappointed in the rulership of the Golden Tribe, M'Baku decided to become the new King to return Wakanda to the old lifestyle.[1]During T'Challa's coronation, Zuri asked if any warrior would challenge for the throne. M'Baku stepped forward, declaring himself as a challenger. T'Challa accepted M'Baku's challenge, with the duel commencing. Despite T'Challa taking advantage of his swift speed, M'Baku managed to restrain T'Challa in a bear hug, beginning to crush him under his strength. Hearing the Wakandans chanting his name prompting him to get back up, T'Challa managed to escape the bear hug and crack M'Baku's ceremonial mask, stunning him.T'Challa then pushed M'Baku to the edge of the Warrior Falls, where he pinned M'Baku, telling him to yield, as he didn't want to kill him. M'Baku continued to struggle under T'Challa's grasp but ceased when T'Challa told him that the Jabari Tribe needed him. M'Baku yielded, and accepted T'Challa as the victor, leaving the Falls and heading back to Jabariland.[1]When T'Challa was seemingly killed by his cousin, Erik Killmonger, Jabari Tribe fishermen found the severely wounded T'Challa; M'Baku had him brought back to the tribe and covered with snow to stabilize his failing vital signs, considering it a repayment for sparing his life during the tribal combat. They were, however, unable to nurse him back to health, due to lacking the advanced technology the rest of the country shared.[1]When Ramonda, Shuri, Nakia, and Everett Ross came to offer M'Baku a Heart-Shaped Herb, he took them to T'Challa. They fed the herb to T'Challa, effectively reviving him. Afterward, M'Baku provided shelter to Ramonda while the others went to fight Killmonger. T'Challa requested the Jabari's aid, though M'Baku refused.[1]When the Dora Milaje were about to be defeated by the Border Tribe, M'Baku, seemingly realizing T'Challa was right about keeping Vibranium out of Erik Killmonger's hands, and the Jabari Tribe appeared to provide aid, alongside Ramonda giving the Dora Milaje another chance. Later, W'Kabi tried to run M'Baku over with a rhino, but Okoye stood in the way, causing the rhino to stop its assault and licked her face while M'Baku ran off to face another opponent. Shortly after this, the Border Tribe surrendered under W'Kabi's orders, not wanting to see his own people kill one another.[1nce the conflict came to an end, M'Baku became a member of the Tribal Council representing the Jabari Tribe, ending the centuries of self isolation the Jabari had from the rest of Wakanda.[1]In 2018, M'Baku was notified by T'Challa of an incoming threat and gathered the Jabari Tribe to come help. M'Baku was thanked for coming by T'Challa and then witnessed the Outriders outside the dome. Upon seeing the aliens, he told Okoye that the invasion would be an end to their home. Nonetheless, he shouted the traditional battle cry before going into battle with his Tribe, T'Challa, the Border Tribe, Wakandan Royal Guard, Dora Milaje, and members of the Avengers.M'Baku valiantly fought against the Outriders, but despite their best efforts and their ability to withstand the assault, the Snap happened, wiping out half of the life in the universe. M'Baku survived the Snap, and watched on as half of his Tribe and other Wakandan warriors disintegrated into dust before him with bewilderment. A clear horror and shock look was on his face, as he struggled to understand what was happening.[2]Five years later, following the Blip, M'Baku and the Jabari Tribe were recruited by the Masters of the Mystic Arts to help fight in the battle against an alternate Thanos at the Avengers Compound in New York. He, his Tribe, and the Wakandans arrived through a portal led by Okoye, T'Challa, and Shuri. Early on, M'Baku was being piled by a few Chitauri, but he was able to gain the upper hand and smash his way out. When the battle was over, M'Baku led his Tribe back home.[4]M'Baku went to the Amanzi Kwakhona Umlambo, where he found Assata crying. He asked how she could cry while looking at the river, asking what was wrong. Assata explained that while she had dreamt of joining the Dora Milaje, her disability made it impossible. M'Baku considered Assata's words before asking what Assata felt was meant by impossible. Assata asserted that something impossible could not be done, but M'Baku said that others defined it as a need to find another way to make something possible.M'Baku asked for confirmation that Assata is a member of the Mining Tribe, asking if Assata believed vibranium to be what made Wakanda special. Assata asserted that it was, since Wakanda was the only country that had it. However, M'Baku insisted that Wakanda would be special without it, pointing out that he and the Jabari Tribe were the world's greatest warriors without using it. He said that Wakanda was special because of its citizens and their ability to dream, even when things appeared to be impossible. M'Baku continued, talking about how many people believed it impossible for a small country such as Wakanda to be the most advanced on Earth. M'Baku added that those same people believed that would be impossible for a wheelchair user to join the Dora Milaje. However, he added that Wakandans were not among those people. Assata realized that M'Baku was right, saying that the job of the Dora Milaje was not to run or jump, but simply to protect Wakanda. M'Baku smiled and joked that he knew he was right, otherwise he would have simply asked her to leave. Assata was inspired by M'Baku's words to join the Dora Milaje.[5]In 2024, T'Challa fell sick and soon died. M'Baku honored his friend and attended his funeral, watching as the casket was taken by the Dora Milaje and beamed up into a Royal Talon Fighter. Although everyone crossed their arms in salute, M'Baku did not as he was mourning T'Challa.[6]Ramonda called an emergency meeting to discuss Namor, who had infiltrated Wakanda. M'Baku arrived with M'Bele, eating a carrot and immediately started scolding the River Tribe for failing to notice the intruder. He then traded insults with Okoye until Ramonda told him to sit down. M'Baku sat down and voiced his opinion that they should kill Namor and be done with it.Later, Okoye returned from a mission after losing Shuri. She insisted that she would go back and save her, but Ramonda was furious, berating Okoye for her mistake and firing her from the Dora Milaje. Okoye argued with Ramonda, pleading her case. M'Baku then spoke of Erik Killmonger and how the elders had allowed him to take the throne, causing distrust among the Wakandans.[6]M'Baku stood on a bridge in Birnin Zana as he talked to his Jabari Tribe. He told them that Nakia saved Shuri, jokingly saying that he was surprised Ramonda did not banish her for that. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. M'Baku looked around and saw water rushing into the city.M'Baku stood on a bridge in Birnin Zana as he talked to his Jabari Tribe. He told them that Nakia saved Shuri, jokingly saying that he was surprised Ramonda did not banish her for that. Suddenly, there was a loud bang. M'Baku looked around and saw water rushing into the city.M'Baku jumped into the water and saved some people on a boat. He then looked underwater, surprised to see a whale coming after him. He got up to the surface and yelled that invaders were coming. He got onto a boat and fought the Talokanil, throwing one with his club. He then sailed and saw Namor, referring to him as the fish man. He ran and leaped at Namor, swinging his club. The club did no damage to Namor and even shattered. Namor then punched M'Baku, shattering his wood armor and sending him flying. M'Baku stood up, gasping for breath.He then rushed to the Citadel and saw Okoye and Nakia attempting to resuscitate Ramonda and Riri Williams. Okoye yelled at M'Baku and Aneka to get Shuri away. They did so as Shuri struggled to break free from their grasp, crying. M'Baku held Shuri as she collapsed to the ground, having lost another family member. While Williams was revived, RamondavM'Baku attended the funeral and noticed a much colder, stone-faced Shuri. He talked to her, seeking advice. He said that the elders asked him to house the Wakandans for the time being. Shuri asked him why he would seek advice from a child who scoffed at tradition; bringing up M'Baku's insult from years ago. M'Baku simply told her that the world had taken too much from her to be considered a child anymore. M'Baku said it was in the people's interest to know which way her mind was leaning. Shuri told him that if he provided for the people, they would be in great debt to him. M'Baku then asked Shuri how her heart felt. Shuri told him that she had lost the last person who truly understood her. Shuri's heart was buried with Ramonda.[6 In Gorilla City, M'Baku argued with the elders about what to do next. Suddenly, a Royal Talon Fighter flew overhead. M'Baku looked up in awe to see the Black Panther drop down into the cave. Revealing herself to be Shuri, she walked over to M'Baku, who held out his hand. They arm wrestled until Shuri won. Realizing that she had regained her strength, M'Baku embraced her, saying that the Black Panther was alive. M'Baku then listened as Shuri explained her plan to lure Namor out to sea. He then offered his counsel, asking if killing him was the best solution. When the other councilors reminded that he previously called for Namor's head after the attack on Birnin Zana, he pointed out that the Talokanil referred to Namor not as a general or a king, but as K'uk'ulkan, the feathered serpent god. Seeing his allies' confusion at his surprising knowledge, he rhetorically asked if they really believed that because the Jabari lived in the mountains that they did not have access to book Shuri then asked for a moment alone with M'Baku. When he granted her request, Shuri and M'Baku talked about her intentions with Namor. Shuri wanted to kill him, but M'Baku argued against it, saying that it could risk eternal war. Shuri asked if Ramonda was not worth eternal war, and M'Baku replied that Ramonda was, of course, worth it, but she would not want this for Shuri. The new Black Panther told him that it did not matter what Ramonda wanted, as Ramonda was dead. She then ordered M'Baku to help her.[6]The Wakandans went aboard the Sea Leopard to lure the Talokanil there. They were successful in doing so, fighting the Talokanil and Namor with the new Black Panther. M'Baku used his new Vibranium club to take down many Talokanil. When Black Panther took Namor away from the fight, M'Baku ordered everyone to return to Wakanda as their mission was finished. Suddenly, they lost their sonic emitters.M'Baku then heard noises, followed by an explosion. The ship started tipping, sending many overboard. As the fighting became desperate, M'Baku prayed for safety from the ancestors, but Ayo admitted they might join them. Aneka said that if they were going to, they had better take some Talokanil with them. The Wakandans were soon inched to the corner of the ship as more Talokanil arrived. Suddenly, everyone stopped as Black Panther and Namor returned, having struck a truce. M'Baku nodded at Black Panther, who stood victorious.[6]In the aftermath, Shuri planted the Heart-Shaped Herb and talked to M'Baku, informing him that she was leaving Wakanda. At the coronation, M'Baku stepped down from the Royal Talon Fighter and announced that he wanted to challenge for the throne.[6] He then became the reigning king of Wakanda.[7Master Combatant: M'Baku fights As the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku is highly well versed in armed and unarmed combat, often effectively using his size, weight and strength in his fighting style. He is proficient in the use of blades, shields and blunt weapons. His skill is well-known and feared among Wakanda, as Nakia believed that with T'Challa seemingly gone, M'Baku was the only Wakandan who could possibly defeat Erik Killmonger in ritual combat and even Ramonda, the Queen Mother, said that if M'Baku were to drink the Heart-Shaped Herb, he may have become even more terrifying in battle than Killmonger. In his duel with T'Challa in ritual combat, M'Baku was able to gain the upper hand and nearly defeat him, with T'Challa only barely coming out on top. During the Battle of Mount Bashenga, M'Baku easily defeated many Border Tribe members and survived with no injury. When he and the Jabari Tribe aided the rest of Wakanda and the Avengers in the Battle of Wakanda, M'Baku defeated many Outriders and emerged as one of the few survivors of the battle while sustaining only minor injuries. During the Battle of Earth, he was able to repel more Chitauri that attempted to pile up on him. M'Baku also survived the whole battle with little injuries. M'Baku held his own while fighting against the Talokanil. Club Mastery: M'Baku is highly skilled in the use of a knobkerrie as a blunt weapon. M'Baku has used a knobkerrie to great effect during his many fights such as his duel with T'Challa, the Battle of Mount Bashenga, and the fight against Thanos and his alien armies. During the Talokanil's invasion, M'Baku leaped into the air before swinging at Namor, but only failed due to his durable skin. The blow broke M'Baku's club, so he was forced to make anew one with a Vibranium head. Expert Tactician: As the tribal leader of the Jabari Tribe, he has decent tactical skills in the mountain ranges, giving him some expertise in the mountain environments. At the Battle of Mount Bashenga, he was able to lead the tribe in a surprise attack against the Border Tribe during the confrontation between T'Challa and Erik Killmonger. Multilingualism: M'Baku is fluent in his native Igbo, as well as Xhosa, Zulu and EnglishWeapons Knobkerrie: M'Baku wielding his Knobkerrie Crafted by the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku was rarely seen without his knobkerrie, which he could use in two different ways, as the round end could be used to hit hard and stun adversaries as a hammer while the sharp end enabled him to stab his opponents like a spear as he did with T'Challa during their duel. He also used the knobkerrie in fighting the Border Tribe and the Wakandan Royal Guard during the Battle of Mount Bashenga, the Outriders during the Battle of Wakanda, as well as an alternate Thanos and his army during the Battle of Earth. M'Baku soon fitted the knobkerrie with a vibranium head, allowing him to deal more damage.Other Equipment Hardened Jabari Wood Armor: M'Baku dons his Jabari armor M'Baku wears this armor during battlefield conflicts. The armor was primitive compared to Wakanda's armor with vibranium, but it is able to withstand even the toughest blows that could be delivered from Outriders during the Battle of Wakanda. In the Attack on Birnin Zana, M'Baku was punched in the chest by Namor. Luckily, the armor saved M'Baku’s life, but heavily damaged the wood. M'Baku soon refurbished the armor and added hints of vibranium with a new gorilla emblem.Ceremonial Gorilla Mask: During his duel with T'Challa, M'Baku wore this ceremonial mask to represent the Jabari Tribe. It could take a few strikes from a depowered T'Challa before breakingFacilities Jabariland: As the leader of the Jabari Tribe, M'Baku lived in Jabariland. He provided refuge to T'Challa and his family when T'Challa had nearly been killed by Erik Killmonger.Relationships Family Children Allies Jabari Tribe - Subordinates M'Bele Golden Tribe - Former Enemies T'Chaka † - Former King Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King and Close Friend Shuri/Black Panther - Princess and Friend Zuri † Nakia Everett Ross Dora Milaje Ayo Nomble Yama Border Tribe - Former Enemies Wakandan Royal Guard - Former Enemies M20 - Temporary Enemy Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Avengers Steve Rogers/Captain America Tony Stark/Iron Man † Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † Bruce Banner/Hulk Sam Wilson/Falcon James Rhodes/War Machine Wanda Maximoff † Peter Parker/Spider-Man Scott Lang/Ant-Man Clint Barton/Hawkeye Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy Peter Quill/Star-Lord Thor Rocket Groot Drax the Destroyer Nebula Mantis Masters of the Mystic Arts Stephen Strange/Doctor Strange Wong Brunnhilde/Valkyrie Warsong Korg Miek Einherjar Ravagers Kraglin Obfonteri Howard the Duck Hope van Dyne/Wasp Pepper Potts/Rescue Gamora Assata Midnight Angels Okoye - Savior Aneka Riri Williams/Ironheart Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor Namora Attuma Enemies N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † W'Kabi - Attempted Killer Black Order Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Outriders Thanos † Black Order Ebony Maw † Cull Obsidian † Proxima Midnight † Corvus Glaive † Chitauri Leviathans Chitauri Gorillas Sakaarans ayo: General Ayo is the General of the Dora Milaje tasked to guard the Golden Tribe. Ayo protected both T'Chaka and T'Challa throughout their rule, although she was forced to briefly follow Erik Killmonger when he had defeated T'Challa in ritual combat, until T'Challa returned and defeated Killmonger. Once T'Challa regained the crown, Ayo helped Bucky Barnes free himself of his Hydra brainwashing. When the threat of Thanos had reached Wakanda, Ayo took part in protecting her nation against this threat, fighting in the Battle of Wakanda. Six years later, Ayo was sent to take Baron Zemo into the custody of the Dora Milaje after Barnes facilitated his escape. A year later, following the passing of T'Challa, Ayo, and her partner Aneka worked together in the Dora Milaje at a Wakandan Outreach Center, when mercenaries attempted to steal vibranium, defending Wakanda without the Black Panther. When Okoye was fired from position as General of the Dora Milaje, Ayo was appointed to General. Ayo, now General, was tasked with stopping Okoye from leaving Wakanda, when Talokan invaded. During the attack, Ayo led a team to save the patrols, however Queen Ramonda passed away when attacked by Namor, ending the fight. Following a relocation of the Wakandans to Gorilla City, Ayo witnessed the arrival of the new Black Panther, Princess Shuri. Ayo and the Dora Milaje would then fight against the Talokanil onboard the Sea Leopard, until Shuri and Namor struck a truce. With the fighting over, Ayo returned to Wakanda and spent time with Aneka.In 2016, Ayo traveled with King T'Chaka and Prince T'Challa to Vienna, Austria to take part in the ratifying of the Sokovia Accords. However, she was absent during the time when T'Chaka was murdered. Distraught about what happened, she escorted T'Challa to his car when he learned from his Attaché that the Winter Soldier had escaped from the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre with the aid of Steve Rogers. They were stopped by Natasha Romanoff, who wished to speak with T'Challa. Unwilling to allow him to be slowed down, Ayo stood up to Romanoff and demanded that she move aside, threatening to fight her if she refused. T'Challa, however, told Ayo to stand aside as he spoke with Romanoff who told him to side with Tony Stark, so they could help him find and recapture the Winter Soldier.[4]Ayo was among the Dora Milaje who welcomed T'Challa when he returned to Wakanda from a mission to rescue Nakia. She stood beside Queen Mother Ramonda and Princess Shuri until Okoye asked her to take Nakia to the River Tribe so she could prepare for the incoming coronation ceremonyAyo then took part in the ceremony, dancing with the other Dora Milaje on the boat and knocking on the boat with her Vibranium Spear to activate the drainage systems of the Warrior Falls. Ayo stood next to Okoye during Zuri's speech, pointing her spear at M'Baku when he menacingly approached Shuri. As M'Baku challenged T'Challa for the throne, Ayo remained by her general's side. When T'Challa defeated M'Baku, Ayo cheered with the rest of the Wakandans and chanted T'Challa's name.Following the coronation, Ayo escorted him and Nakia through the streets of Birnin Zana as they took a walk together. Later, Ayo returned to the throne room when T'Challa was informed of the Robbery of the Museum of Great Britain. She then accompanied T'Challa to Shuri's Lab where he could acquire some equipment for his incoming mission.[1]Ayo was present when Erik Killmonger was taken to the Citadel's throne room. She stood behind Killmonger when T'Challa approached him in order to protect T'Challa should Killmonger try to attack him. Later, Ayo and the rest of the Dora Milaje attended the duel between T'Challa and Killmonger, who claimed the throne of Wakanda. She watched as Killmonger slowly gained the upper hand over T'Challa and murdered Zuri who intervened in the fight. As Killmonger defeated T'Challa and openly mocked him, claiming he was unworthy of being King, Ayo asked Okoye whether the Dora Milaje could do something, but Okoye remained silent, knowing that they had to remain uninvolved in the fight. Following Killmonger's victory, who threw T'Challa down the Warrior Falls, Ayo was forced to give him the traditional Wakandan salute and to serve him. As such, Ayo stood in the throne room when Killmonger held his first Tribal Council and ordered the Wakandans to gather Vibranium weapons to be sent to the outer world.[1]Ayo was with the rest of the Dora Milaje as Erik Killmonger and W'Kabi gathered Vibranium weapons and loaded three planes which would leave Wakanda. However, one of the planes was destroyed by Black Panther, who had survived his duel with Killmonger. Like the rest of the Dora Milaje, Ayo was relieved to find out that T'Challa had survived. She also followed Okoye when she rebelled against Killmonger. Ayo was ordered to take several Dora with her to assist the King in her battle against the Border Tribe who charged at Black Panther.For a time, Ayo successfully fought against the Border Tribe, avoiding the assaults of their war rhinoceros. However, she along with Shuri, Nakia and Okoye were ultimately cornered by the Border Tribe, who ordered them to surrender. However, the Jabari Tribe joined the battle, enabling Ayo to resume the fight against their enemies. In the end, the Border Tribe surrendered.[1]In the aftermath of the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Ayo once again escorted King T'Challa and Nakia in the streets of Birnin Zana. Later, Ayo was among the Wakandan delegation to journey to the United Nations meeting in Vienna. She stood behind T'Challa as he delivered a speech in which he declared that he would open Wakanda to the rest of the world and share their vibranium resources.[1]Ayo met with Bucky Barnes in Wakanda, following Shuri removing the Hydra programming out of his brain. Ayo informed Barnes it was time to test if he was still susceptible to the programming, though Barnes was uncertain if they should try. However, Ayo assured him she would prevent him from hurting anyone.Ayo then recited the activation words, and though Barnes was stressed upon hearing them, it confirmed he was freed of his brainwashing. After Ayo told him he was free, Barnes began to cry tears of joy at finally being free.[5]In 2018, Ayo was present with T'Challa and the Dora when members of the Avengers arrived in Birnin Zana. She, along with the others, went into the Wakanda Medical Center and soon witnessed the arrival of the alien spaceships.She then stayed behind to protect Shuri while she worked on separating Vision from the Mind Stone. However, Corvus Glaive, a member of the Black Order, infiltrated the Center and attacked them. She fiercely tried to defend Shuri, but was swiftly defeated.[6] As Ayo's cousin, Assata, grew up admiring the Dora Milaje, Ayo took Assata to watch them training alongside T'Challa. Assata looked on with awe, although turned down Okoye's offer to train with a modified training regiment to accommodate Assata's disability. Assata chose to study science, and Ayo heard that Shuri had offered her a job as her assistant. Ayo got excited for her cousin.[2]In 2024, upon hearing that Helmut Zemo had been broken out of his imprisonment, Ayo was sent to track him down. She went to Latvia where she left a trail of Kimoyo Beads for Bucky Barnes to follow. When he found her, Ayo demanded to know where Zemo was.[8]Ayo asked Barnes why he freed Zemo recalling how she had let T'Chaka down by not being there to protect him from the bombing. She then reluctantly told him he had eight hours with Zemo before they would come back to arrest him.[5]Eight hours later, Ayo and two Dora Milaje named Nomble and Yama arrived to arrest Helmut Zemo, only to encounter John Walker, immediately attempting to impale him with a spear. Walker challenged her telling her that they had no jurisdiction there, but Ayo retorted that the Dora Milaje don't require jurisdictionAfter Walker put his hand on her armor, Ayo swiftly threw him against a pole and began to fight against him and Battlestar. Shortly, Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson tried to stop the Dora Milaje from fighting, causing Ayo to remove Barnes' vibranium arm and she expressed her disappointment with him. After finding out that Zemo escaped, Ayo told Yama to give Walker back the shield and left with her and Nomble.[5]Ayo, along with Nomble and Yama, traveled to the Sokovian Memorial in Sokovia to arrest Helmut Zemo after being tipped off about his presence there by Bucky BarnesAs the Dora Milaje arrested Zemo and escorted him to the Royal Talon Fighter, Ayo notified Barnes that they would be taking Zemo to the Raft and advised Barnes that he should make himself scarce in Wakanda as a result of recent events. Before she departed with the others, Barnes asked her for a favor for Sam Wilson, to make him a new suit to be Captain America.[9]Later, T'Challa revealed that he had been sick with an illness. Although everyone tried to help, T'Challa died soon after. Ayo attended his funeral and carried the casket off until a Royal Talon Fighter took it.[10]A year later, Ayo, Okoye, Yama, and Ayo's lover, Aneka, were posted at a Wakandan Outreach Center. Ayo, Yama, and Okoye stayed in a room while Aneka opened the door. The group stepped out and faced mercenaries who tried to steal the Vibranium. The group easily took down the mercenaries while Okoye argued with Aneka about her new Vibranium Daggers. Ayo gave Aneka a look of disappointment afterwards.The next day, Ramonda faced the United Nations and told them that they were still a threat even without the Black Panther. She brought out the Dora Milaje, who were holding the apperehended mercenaries. Ramonda used this to show the countries not to mess with them.[10]Later, Ramonda called a meeting when Namor infiltrated Wakanda. They wanted to discuss how that could have happened. Ayo stood next to the Queen as M'Baku and Okoye argued. Ramonda then told them to stop. M'Baku wanted to kill Namor, but they were hesitant. Okoye then brought Shuri to Cambridge to get a scientist that Namor wanted killed. Okoye returned, failing to get Williams, leading to Shuri's capture. Ramonda fired Okoye from her position as general as well as the Dora Milaje. Okoye and Ramonda argued, but Ramonda had enough, yelling at Okoye, who left in tears. Ayo was appointed general of the Dora Milaje. She was fitted with the traditional gold armor that generals wore.[10] Now the general, Ayo got word of Okoye trying to leave. She approached Okoye, who just wanted to get Shuri and make it right. Ayo tried to order her to stop, but Okoye kept walking. Ayo then called out her troops, who pointed spears at Okoye. Ayo respected Okoye and said she did not want her to be killed. Okoye gave herself up.[11]Suddenly, Talokan invaded Wakanda. The Birnin Zana soon flooded. The Talokanil used hypnotic chants to lure the patrols overboard. Ayo, Yama, and Nomble put on their ear plugs and charged at the patrols to save them. Yama threw an explosive into the water to kill the enemies. Ayo then got into a Royal Talon Fighter with Yama. They flew through the air and shot at Namor, who sliced the side of the ship, sending them crashing below. The fight ended with Ramonda dying, leading Shuri to become very distraught. Ayo attended Ramonda's funeral and carried out the casket, just as she did with T'Challa.[10]The Wakandans were relocated to Gorilla City for the time being. Suddenly, a Black Panther landed in the cave. They removed their mask to reveal it was Shuri, who managed to recreate the Heart-Shaped Herb. Wakanda rejoiced with the new Black Panther. Lead by Shuri, they lured the Talokanil to a ship in the ocean called the Sea Leopard.The fight started and they climbed up the walls of the boat to kill the Talokanil, using ropes to get up and down. Suddenly, a ship thrown by Namor came crashing down on top of them. The Dora Milaje and Talokanil exchanged blows while the ship nearly tipped over. They soon became cornered, leading M'Baku to pray for protection from the ancestors. Ayo admitted they might be joining them soon. Aneka said that they might as well take some enemies with them. Finally, Shuri and Namor returned, having struck a truce, stopping the fighting.[10]With a newfound peace, Ayo and Aneka rejoiced at her home. Aneka kissed Ayo on the head and Ayo thanked her. Later, they prepared for the incoronation of Shuri. They did the ritual until Shuri was meant to arrive. However, she had left Wakanda. Instead, M'Baku arrived, challenging to become the King.[10]Master Combatant: Ayo fighting against As a member of the Dora Milaje, Ayo received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. She is quite confident in her skills, confidently threatening Natasha Romanoff when she stood in T'Challa's way despite her being an exceptional and famous fighter in her own right. During the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Ayo defeated many warriors of the Border Tribe and survived uninjured. She even held off the stronger and highly trained assassin of Thanos Corvus Glaive and survived the fight despite being defeated. Her fighting skills were great enough to easily subdue John Walker, a highly decorated U.S. veteran who was chosen to be the next Captain America, and even get the better of a reluctant Bucky Barnes, disarming him by triggering the release mechanism for his bionic arm, a feat Barnes didn’t know was possible. She also fought the genetically-superior Talokanil. Spear Mastery: As a member of the Dora Milaje, Ayo is extremely skilled at using her Vibranium Spear in close quarters combat and as a long ranged weapon. She was able to easily defeat many warriors of the Border Tribe during the Battle of Mount Bashenga and even fight off Corvus Glaive with it. She is also accurate in throwing it, being able to precisely throw her spear at a fellow Dora to wield. Ayo was able to wield another Dora Milaje's spear with equal skill to using her own, dominating John Walker completely into the defensive and would have killed him had Barnes not stopped her and subsequently effectively using the spear to push back Barnes, even hitting his prosthetic arm with the tip, though Barnes was holding back as he wanted to talk instead of fighting. Master Tactician: Ayo is skilled at forming plans and leading the Dora Milaje when Okoye is not present. She ordered her warriors to attack John Walker and also lead the group when she guarded King T'Chaka and T'Challa at the Vienna International Centre. Once Okoye was demoted, Ayo became the leader of the Dora Milaje and led many strikes like the Attack on Birnin Zana and the Ambush on the Talokanil. Multilingualism: Ayo is fluent in her native Xhosa, as well as English and Russian.Equipment Weapons Vibranium Spear: Ayo uses a specialized Vibranium spear capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. Her spear along with others have been shown to be able to interact with technology by striking the ground with the blunt end, notably activating the drainage system for Warrior Falls. Other Equipment Kimoyo Beads: Like many Wakandans, Ayo had Kimoyo Beads she could use as a communication device. Dora Milaje Armor: Ayo wears the standard-issue uniform of the Dora Milaje. Later, when she became the General of the Dora Milaje, Ayo now wears a slightly more elaborated version of the Dora Milaje armor, notably with the epaulets, bracelets, and necklace being golden instead of silver. Being made of Vibranium weaves, the armor offers high durability and protection.Relationships Family Ala - Grandmother Assata - Cousin Allies Golden Tribe T'Chaka † - Former King Ramonda † - Former Queen T'Challa/Black Panther † - Former King Shuri/Black Panther - Princess Dora Milaje - Subordinates Xoliswa † Nomble Yama Jemini Tribal Council M'Kathu River Tribe Elder Merchant Tribe Elder Zawavari Mining Tribe Elder Nakia Zuri † Wakandan Royal Guard Border Tribe - Temporary Enemies Jabari Tribe M'Baku M20 - Temporary Enemy Attaché Everett Ross Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier - Friend Avengers Steve Rogers/Captain America Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow † Sam Wilson/Falcon/Captain America James Rhodes/War Machine Bruce Banner/Hulk Wanda Maximoff † Vision † Midnight Angels Okoye - Former Leader and Predecessor Aneka - Love Interest Riri Williams/Ironheart Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor - Former Attempted Killer Attuma Namora Enemies N'Jadaka/Erik Killmonger † - Former King W'Kabi - Former Ally Black Order Corvus Glaive † - Attempted Killer Helmut Zemo/Baron Zemo John Walker/Captain America - Situational Enemy Lemar Hoskins/Battlestar † - Situational Ene king namor/Ch'ah Toh Almehen King Ch'ah Toh Almehen is a Talokanil mutant who rules the underwater kingdom of Talokan. As he aged slowly and gained the respect of the Talokanil, they started to worship him as K'uk'ulkan.[4] Following his mother's death, he visited the surface world and witnessed the atrocities of Spanish colonization, causing him to take violent action, earning him the name Namor from his enemies. Determined to protect his people from the surface world, Namor felt threatened when the United States came close to discovering his country while searching for vibranium. Namor came into contact with Wakanda and proposed a military alliance, but the Golden Tribe resisted waging war against the world. In response, Namor led his people against Wakanda, claiming the life of Ramonda. He was ultimately defeated by Shuri, now the new Black Panther, and was forced to yield, still expecting that eventually Wakanda would ask for his help.Ch'ah Toh Almehen was born in 1571 as the son of Fen and an Aztec Purépecha pochteca mercenary spy[5] in the Yucatán. Prior to his birth, Fen, pregnant at the time, and her fellow tribesman of Mesoamericans became inflicted with smallpox brought by Spanish Conquistadores. To survive, the tribe consumed a blue plant found underwater in an attempt to alleviate their sickness. However, the plant was laced with traces of Vibranium, altering the tribe's anatomy and biology in the process.The tribe became the first Talokanil, retreating to the ocean to start their new lives there, away from the threats of the surface world. Shortly afterward, Almehen was born, with the effects of the plant Fen consumed causing him to undergo abnormal mutations such as winged feet, pointed ears and a human-like skin color.[2] He never knew his father.[5] Almehen would be recognized as the firstborn son of Talokan, as well as a mutant, and worshipped as their feathered Serpent God, K'uk'ulkan. As Almehen grew up, Fen told him stories about a place with clean air and water which was protected so that people would never have to leave.[2] She also told him the Aztec stories his father had once told her, including of the Aztec underworld paradise Tlālōcān, which inspired him in the naming of their underwater paradise, with the translation into their tongue of Yucatec Maya, "Talokan."[5]Per his mother's wishes, Almehen came to the surface with other Talokanil to bury her. They saw many Mayan people being abused as slaves for a plantation. Distraught, Almehen flew up into the air, scaring the settlers, who shot at him. Almehen did not care as he still flew, ordering the Talokanil to burn the The young Talokanil coldly watched as many settlers died and the village was burned. He then helped dig a hole in the ground, burying Fen, sticking an object in her mouth. A dying priest derisively called Almehen, "El Niño sin Amor", meaning "the child without love." Ch'ah Toh Almehen proceeded to take that as his name, Namor, as a warning to his enemies. This experience showed him how bad the surface world was and that he needed to protect his kind from it.[2]In the 20th century, Namor was in the ocean when he noticed a Mayan female and a man named Josue getting swept up in the current. He proceeded to save them.[6] Nearly half a millennium later, Namor located a Vibranium Detector under the ocean placed there by the United States. Angry, he sent his army after the people, killing Rita Salazar and Jackson in the process. Namor then let Attuma and Namora attack the ship while he stayed in the distance. When Dr. Graham and a pilot got away on a helicopter, Namor flew after them and grabbed the tail of the aircraft. He then spun it around in circles before slamming it into the water, killing the two passengers.[2]Angry at Wakanda, Namor quietly sneaked into Wakanda through the waters and met with Queen Ramonda and Princess Shuri. He complimented the place for its pristine air and natural waters before Ramonda asked who he was. He told them that he was known as the K'uk'ulkan, but his enemies called him Namor.He revealed to the two how T'Challa's choice of revealing Vibranium to the world compromised his nation and how he wanted Wakanda to capture the scientist who created the Vibranium Detector so that he could kill her. Namor knelt down, placing a conk shell on the sand. He told the two Wakandans to blow into it and place it into the water once they would have acquired the scientist, and he said he would be there shortly after. Before he jumped into the water and left, Namor warned Ramonda and Shuri not to mention anything about him to anyone outside of Wakanda.[2]Attuma and Namora successfully captured both Shuri and Riri Williams in Cambridge. They then brought the hostages back. As Namor painted, Shuri approached him. He talked to her about his past and how he got his name as well as Fen. He then gave her a high-pressure suit and led Shuri to a rift in the water. She dropped in, causing her to go flying with the current.Namor swam around Shuri and met her on the other side where they found a whale swimming above them. He then showed her all of Talokan. Shuri believed it was beautiful and was astonished at the technology, pointing out the vibranium buildings. Back in Namor's Cenote, Namor gave Shuri the bracelet of his mother as a gift for the first outsider in Talokan. Shuri took it as Namor talked about wanting to burn the world. Shuri refused, but Namor reminded her that he heard her say the same thing at the beach in Wakanda.[2]Namor was then contacted by Queen Ramonda and met her up at the beach. Ramonda wanted Shuri back, but Namor claimed that Shuri wanted to come to Talokan. Ramonda asked Namor what she could trade him for her. Namor politely told her there was nothing. Ramonda begged to differ and told him she would tell the United States of Talokan's presence. Namor got close to her, nearly in her face. He coldly told Ramonda that he would kill Shuri if it came to it.[2]Namor returned to his cenote and found a Talokanil on the ground, having been shot by Nakia, who rescued Shuri and Riri Williams. Realizing it was all a diversion, Namor grew angry. He called for a meeting in Talokan. Swimming down to his throne, he gave a speech, admitting to his fault of believing in an alliance, putting Talokan's safety in jeopardy. However, he promised to make it right, calling for war.[2Namor led his army into Wakanda. They flooded Birnin Zana as they invaded. Namor walked out of the water, witnessing the destruction. On the beach, Namora knelt to him, saying that the defenses had left, and it was his turn to strike. Suddenly, M'Baku leaped from behind. Namor noticed and put up his fist, blocking the attack and breaking M'Baku's club. He then swiftly turned around and punched M'Baku in the chest, sending him flying.Namor then raised his spear, calling for the Talokanil to go after civilians. He then flew up and attacked the aircrafts in the sky. Using his swiftness to maneuver in the air, he sliced many Royal Talon Fighters and Dragon Flyers before reaching Shuri and Aneka's Sunbird. He sliced the Sunbird, sending them into the water.Approaching Ramonda in the Citadel, Namor tried to pierce the glass with his spear, though his attack had little effect as Ramonda defiantly remained unfazed. Namor grew angry and flew away before returning with a hoard of Hydrobombs. He threw the bombs at the window, shattering it and sending Ramonda and Riri Williams flying. The bombs Namor threw caused the room to rapidly fill with water, sweeping Williams beneath the waves and forcing Ramonda to go under to save her. While she saved Williams, Ramonda ultimately drowned in the water and was unable to be resuscitated, leaving Shuri to anguish over her demise.Namor proclaimed that Ramonda was responsible for the conflict between the Wakandans and the Talokanil, and in one week's time, he would return with his entire army. Namor then gave the Wakandans a choice: join him, or else he would wash Wakanda from the face of the Earth. Namor coldly pointed at Shuri, telling her to bury the dead and mourn her losses as he declared her Queen while flying down to the water.[2]Back in Talokan, Namor was looking at the same conk shell in his hands while sitting in his throne. He was then approached and informed by Attuma and Namora that there was another Vibranium Detector that had been launched into the ocean. He and his forces approached the detector, only for it to emit a loud pulse. Namor plugged his ears, yelling for everyone to get to the surface. They quickly swam up to the top of the water, only to see the Sea Leopard, where the Wakandans staged an ambushNamor flew into the air as the Talokanil got to the ship. He approached a Dragon Flyer, slicing its side, then throwing it onto the boat. He then noticed Riri Williams in the air, now in her Ironheart armor, dodged her blasts before getting hit and trapped inside a Royal Talon Fighter. There, he encountered Shuri, now the Black Panther. Namor did not think much of it until he started feeling sick. He looked up to see heat rays coming at him. Black Panther announced that she was there for retribution.Namor quickly rammed his spear into the ship. The raw Vibranium sliced through the ship. Black Panther attacked and they had a prolonged fight, dodging each other's blows. Namor then made a desperation push, to get Black Panther away before slamming the ship, causing it to explode, expelling them onto a desert beach.On the surface, the two fought more, but Black Panther could not find Namor at first. The king charged from the sky, taking her out many times without her even seeing him. He then grabbed Black Panther and flew her into the air with him. They exchanged punches into the air until Namor flew Black Panther into the ground, tackling her. He repeatedly punched Black Panther until she sliced off his ankle wing, causing Namor immense pain as he screamed, ripped it off his leg and flipped him over to the ground.He flew at Black Panther using his three wings and punched her against the wall, but after a few punches, Black Panther blocked his next punch and clawed at his back before emitting energy. Shuri proceeded to gain the upper hand by knocking him to the ground a few times with kicks, before approaching him with her claws. However, Namor crawled to his spear and impaled Shuri with it. He noted that his deal with Shuri back in Talokan could have been different if not for the chaos. Although he wanted to finish her off, he was more worried about getting to the water. He dodged an incoming attack before facing Shuri, putting up his fists to fight. Instead, she yelled "Wakanda forever" and caused an explosion, making Namor fall over in flames.Shuri used her feet to flip Namor over, so his back was on the ground, and then took Namor's spear and pointed it at his neck. However, she paused for a moment and surprised Namor, giving him a chance to yield. She said if he did not yield, she would destroy Talokan. Namor graciously did yield and formed a new alliance. Shuri and Namor flew back to the battle where Namor yelled for his army to stop fighting. They did so and knelt to him.[2]With the war concluded, Namor returned to his nation alongside the rest of the Talokanil warriors who assisted him in battle. While painting a new mural on his wall reflecting his conflict with Wakanda, a disappointed Namora entered his cenote. She expressed disillusionment at the conflict's outcome and her king's decision to form a peaceful pact with a nation on the surface world.Namor exclaimed that Black Panther had every reason to kill him for his actions against her family and people, and that his defeat was inevitable due to Black Panther being the strongest individual within Earth's most technologically powerful nation. He then confidently reassured Namora that should the time come when Wakanda came into conflict with intervening world powers, they would turn to Talokan for help in defeating them.[2]Talokanil Mutant Physiology: Namor is unique among the Talokanil in which his physiology is vastly different compared with his people. Unlike his people who are only able to breathe in water, Namor is able to breathe both on land and in water through a form of diffusion which allows him to "breathe" through his skin. His strength is directly proportional to the amount of water he exposed. In other words, the more Namor is exposed to water, the stronger he gets. However, there are some drawbacks with this power, as for Namor to maintain that high level of strength, he has to occasionally return to a wet environment in order to regain his strength, and he is also susceptible to environment with high evaporation rates like deserts or hot climates due to the fact it removes the water from his body at an increased rate.Superhuman Strength: Namor striking Shuri Namor possesses immense superhuman strength, numerous times stronger than any other Talokanil. According to M'Baku, Namor's physical strength might rival that of Hulk. This exceptional strength was demonstrated when he used his raw power to fling and rotate a helicopter mid-air into the ocean. Namor used his strength to throw a Dragon Flyer at other ship with ease, slice Ayo's Royal Talon Fighter in half with his spear, pierce through a hole in the glass window of the throne room in Wakanda, and also hurl multiple Hydrobombs toward the throne room to flood it. He was also able to slice two Dragon Flyers with his spear, throwing one of them at the Sea Leopard. During his fight against Black Panther, despite being significantly weakened from dehydration, he was still able to overpower her and even pierce his spear right through her stomach despite her wearing the Panther Habit. Superhuman Durability: Namor's skin, muscle, and bone tissue have many times the density of the same tissue in the body of a human being, making him nigh-invulnerable, much more than a regular Talokanil, which is more effective when he is in contact with water. During his attack on Wakanda, when M'Baku tried to use his staff to attack Namor from behind, Namor simply raised his hand and broke the staff as it hit him. When Ironheart attacked him right in the chest with a full powered blast, Namor did not seem to receive any form of physical damage. Even when dehydrated and without water nearby, he was able to withstand multiple attacks from Black Panther, a kinetic energy pulse at point-black range that pulverized a massive stone boulder and being burnt in the back, before finally falling down to the ground. Superhuman Speed: Both in water and land, Namor can move at incredible superhuman speeds. He was able to get from Talokan in the Atlantic Ocean to Wakanda in Africa in a matter of hours. While attacking Wakanda, Namor was able to run and swim fast enough to dodge fire from Shuri and Aneka's ship, impressing them both with his speed. During his battle with Black Panther, Namor was able to land blows that even Shuri did not see coming, being able to control the Wakandan Princess for most of the battle, as well as block several of her attacks with ease. Superhuman Agility: In both water and land, Namor possesses naturally more agility, equilibrium, balance and body coordination than a normal human and most of his species. He is able to perform superhuman and acrobatic feats in air and in water. Superhuman Stamina: While in contact with water, Namor's advanced musculature is considerably more efficient than that of a human and most of the other Talokanil. As a result, his muscles virtually do not produce fatigue toxins during physical activity compared to humans and other members of his race. His virtually inexhaustible endurance allows him to exercise his maximum capacity for an indefinite period of time without tiring at all. He was able to leap between structures, dive into the water and resurface multiple times during his attack on Wakanda and still do not show signs of fatigue or tiredness. However, Namor can still get easily tired if his body dries up completely and does not come contact with water, although he was still able to fight Shuri for a long period of time. Superhuman Reflexes: Namor's reflexes allow him to react and dodge objects and attacks at high speed. While attacking Wakanda, Namor was able to block the Wakandan ships' fire with his spear. During the battle at the Sea Leopard, Namor was able to dodge most of Ironheart's energy blasts with ease. Namor was also able to block M'Baku's attack, even while being attacked from behind. Enhanced Vision: Namor possesses enhanced vision that is far better than humans, allowing him to see clearly even in the depths of the ocean. Enhanced Hearing: Namor possesses much greater hearing than a human and any other Talokanil, being able to hear Ramonda and Shuri's conversation even while underwater. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's resistance, Namor could still be injured like any other Talokanil. However, his metabolism enabled him to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with great speed, which is more effective when he is in contact with water. After having his back completely burned by a Wakandan ship's explosion, Namor was able to regenerate shortly after. Longevity: Unique in his people, due to his mutant physiology, Namor is able to live much longer than any other Talokanil. Despite being born in the 1500s, Namor still looks like a man in his thirties. Flight: Thanks to a pair of feather wings on both ankles, Namor is able to fly. His ability to fly combined with his superhuman agility allowed Namor to easily dodge any aerial attacks against him and perform acrobatic attacks with ease. Aquatic Adaptation: Aside from being able to breathe normally at the surface, Namor is capable of breathing underwater by absorbing the oxygen of the water through his skin, and his body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting him specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures. He possesses a highly developed vision to see clearly even in the near-total darkness of the ocean floor, and he can also hear underwater as well as humans do on land. Aquatic Telepathy: Like any other Talokanil, Namor can mentally communicate with marine life and persuade them to do his bidding. Hypnosis: Namor, as well as other Talokanil can create a sound that hypnotize his victims, leading them to jump into the water, where they will drown. However, this can be stopped by a loud sound. Wallcrawling: Namor is able to crawl on any type of walls. Abilities Namor is a dangerous and formidable foe in hand-to-hand combat. He is able to defeat great warriors such as M'Baku and the new Black Panther, only retreating due to Shuri's usage of technology and dry land. Spear Mastery: Namor is skilled with his spear in close quarters combat. He was capable of using the spear to protect himself against blasts from many Wakandan ships, as well as destroying multiple of the ships on his own. Master Acrobat: Namor is highly flexible and skilled in acrobatics. He was able to perform many maneuvers while fighting Wakandan ships, easily evading their attacks. Along with this, he was able to perform many flips and spins while fighting Shuri.Master Tactician: By means of harassment and tactics, Namor is able to keep the existence of Talokan a secret to all other people. He is also a formidable tactician in that he devises attack strategies in attacking surface mining vessels and orchestrated the attack on Wakanda, which devastated the country. He is also quick in realizing that an alliance with Wakanda could bring interest and tactical value to Talokan. Multilingualism: Namor is fluent in his native Yucatec Maya, as well as English, Spanish, and some Latin.Weapons Spear: Namor frequently used a vibranium spear in combat. He used it to destroy Wakandan ships during the Attack on Birnin Zana, along with using it to fight against Shuri in the Ambush on the Talokanil, using the spear to impale Shuri. Hydrobomb: Namor used these explosives to attack the Citadel, flooding the throne room inside which drowned Ramonda. Other Equipment Headdress: Namor's ceremonial helmet is worn when he speaks as King of Talokan to his people. For example, he wears it when he tells the Talokanil that he is going to war with Wakanda. Much like his original namesake, K'uk'ulkan, Namor's helmet represents a feathered serpent. Facilities Talokan Capital City: Namor is the King of the underwater city and resides inside of it. He led the city's army into war against the Wakandans. Cenote: Namor kept Shuri and Riri Williams here after capturing them.

Eventually, she grew to become his second-in-command, and advised him on national matters along with fellow Talokanil, Attuma.[1]The Talokanil found Americans mining for Vibranium in the oceans. They ambushed the ship and used their mind control to have many Humans jump overboard. Attuma, Namora, and another Talokanil then jumped onto the boat with Attuma striking Smitty in the chest. Graham then shot at Attuma, but it did nothing, so she ran. Attuma told them to chase her. Namora and the other Talokanil chased Graham down to the helicopter pad. As the helicopter arrived, Namora tried to jump on, but was shot at, causing her to fall. Graham then lifted off with her pilot. However, they did not get far as Namor took the helicopter out of the air and threw it into the water.[1]Namor met with Ramonda and gave her an ultimatum to help him kill the scientist who made a Vibranium Detector. Worried that they would help the scientist rather than kill her, Namor sent the troops out to Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Talokanil arrived on their giant whale and attacked Shuri, Okoye, and Riri Williams. They threw a Hydrobomb at the group, causing them to flip over. As Attuma fought Okoye, Namora ran to take care of the police. Namora did so and easily killed them using her spear skills. When she returned, she saw that Okoye was still not defeated. Annoyed, she told Attuma to stop playing games and threw him a water bomb. Attuma then deflected it into Okoye, sending her off the bridge. They then took Shuri to Talokan.[1]In Talokan, Namora greeted Riri Williams and Shuri in Namor's cenote. She gave Shuri clothes so that she could meet with Namor. Later, after Namor showed Shuri Talokan and wanted to have an alliance, Namora showed up out of the water to inform Namor that he had been summoned outside of Talokan. Not long after Shuri's rescue, an angry Namor spoke to all of Talokan, telling them they were going to war, and it was his fault that he exposed them to Shuri.[1]Namor led the charge as Talokanil invaded Wakanda. They flooded the place and met with Namor on the sand. Namora knelt to him and reported that defenses had been led away, so it was Namor's turn to do his thing. M'Baku then attacked from behind, but Namor easily disposed of him before calling for more attacks. In the end, Namor killed Queen Ramonda.[1]Later, Namora and Attuma informed Namor that there was another Vibranium Detector in the ocean. They located the Vibranium Detector in the Atlantic Ocean, and Namor led his army to it. When he approached it, the detector let out a loud noise, causing Namor to order everyone to get out of the water. They all swam up, only to see the Sea Leopard above the water; it was an ambush. As everyone attacked the boat, climbing up the sides, Namora stayed below the water and found the sonic emitter. She worked hard to break it before placing a Hydrobomb in it, blowing up the emitter.The whales then arrived with loads of water bombs, which blew up the bottom of the ship, causing it to tip over as Black Panther and Namor battled in the distance. This sent Wakandans overboard into the water where they could get the upper hand. Namora killed many Wakandans until she saw Ironheart swimming after her. Namora then grabbed onto Ironheart, flying into the air with her.Namora struggled to stay on the back of Ironheart, but was able to gain the upper hand by trapping her neck with her spear. Suddenly, Ironheart got Namora to get in front of her, using this opportunity to blast Namora with her blasters, sending Namora into the sea below and away from the boat. Soon, Namor returned, making peace with Shuri.[1]In the aftermath, a disappointed Namora approached Namor in his cenote. Namor was more at peace, now that the war was over. She voiced her concerns, saying he said he was going to fight with her. Namor assured Namora that the new alliance was better for Talokan in the long run, especially since they could maybe rule the world together in the future.[1]Talokanil Physiology: Like all Talokanil, Namora is an aquatic being with superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and accelerated healing. She is also capable of emitting a hypnotic sonic attack with her voice. Enhanced Strength: Namora possesses an enhanced strength much greater than a normal human, being able to destroy a Vibranium sonic device in the Sea Leopard, and holding herself in Ironheart's back during a long time. Enhanced Durability: Namora's body is more resistant to physical damage than the body of a normal human being. Enhanced Speed: Underwater, Namora can swim and move at incredible superhuman speeds. On the surface, Namora can still move quickly, but not as fast as in the water. Enhanced Agility: In both underwater and land, Namora naturally possesses more agility, balance, and body coordination than a normal human being. Enhanced Stamina: During battle, Namora is able to last for a long period of time without slowing down. Enhanced Reflexes: In both water and land, Namora can dodge objects traveling at high speeds, as demonstrated when she parried a policeman's bullets with her spear. Enhanced Vision: As a being that lives underwater, Namora has very good vision, capable of seeing in water more than a regular human eye. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite her body's resistance, Namora could still be injured like any other Talokanil. However, her metabolism enabled her to rapidly regenerate damaged bodily tissue with great speed, which is more effective when she is in contact with water. Aquatic Adaptation: Namora is capable of breathing underwater by absorbing the oxygen of the water through the gills on her neck, and her body is specially developed for underwater conditions, granting her specialized blood circulation to withstand freezing temperatures. She possesses a highly developed vision to see clearly even in the near-total darkness of the ocean floor, and can also hear underwater as well as humans do on land. Aquatic Telepathy: Like any other Talokanil, Namora can mentally communicate with marine life and persuade them to do her bidding. Hypnosis: Namora, as well as other Talokanil, can sing which can hypnotize her victims, leading them to jump into the water, where they will drown. However, this can be stopped by a loud sound. Wallcrawling: Namora is able to crawl on any type of walls. Abilities "Líik'ik Talokan![10]" ―Namora[src] Master Combatant: As a Talokanil warrior, Namora received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. Spear Mastery: Namora is skilled with her spear in combat. She was capable of using the spear to kill police officers during the Chase of Riri Williams, as well as using it to fight Riri Williams at the Ambush on the Talokanil. "Ixmejen ajao. Waaye' e'hala ix'winecobo'. Ts'ook wo’lale'x tsikbanako'n."[11] "Do you understand her?" "Not completely." ―Namora, Riri Williams, and Shuri[src] Multilingualism: Namora is fluent in her native Yucatec Maya, as well as English. Equipment Weapons Spear: Namora frequently used the spear in combat. She used it when attacking Riri Williams, as well as using it to fight Wakadans during the Ambush on the Talokanil. Hydrobomb: Namora used these explosives to blow up the sonic emitter on the Sea Leopard. Other Equipment Talokanil Rebreather: Enables her to breathe on the land. Facilities Talokan Capital City: Namora lives in the underwater city as a high ranked warrior.

When they found a Vibranium Detector in the ocean, Attuma and his army went to stop the humans. They swiftly killed Jackson and Rita Salazar before using hypnotic chants to force the Humans overboard. Attuma then dragged Henderson off the ship before jumping out of the water with Namora.Attuma powerfully sent a spear through the heart of Smitty. Walking over to his victim, he coldly ripped the spear out of the wall. He then faced Graham who started shooting at him, stunned to see it did not pierce his skin. Attuma then told his army to chase after her.[1]Namor sent the Talokanil to Cambridge to capture Riri Williams, as well as Princess Shuri. Attuma and Namora arrived on the bridge, throwing a Hydrobomb at the group. Attuma then faced Okoye and saw her plow through his men. He called her warrior, as a sign of respect. He was told by Namora to kill Williams while she would take care of the cops.As she did that, Attuma fought Okoye, exchanging blows. Attuma was impressed with Okoye's skill, but still took her down by slamming her into her own spear. He then took her spear and passed it back to her, taunting Okoye. She took the spear and fought again but was outmatched. He then picked up her spear once again and told her she was not worth his own ax. He went to kill her, but she shocked him with her tech. Namora then returned, telling Attuma to stop playing games. Attuma then deflected a water bomb at Okoye, sending her over the bridge. He then took off his Talokanil Rebreather and gave it to Shuri, telling her to breathe before taking her to Talokan.[1]When Shuri was broken out, Namor talked to the nation of Talokan and told them it was his fault for exposing them to Wakanda. He vowed to take Wakanda down. The army arrived in Wakanda and sent a tidal wave into the main city. As all commotion broke loose, Attuma got to high ground and scouted out Okoye. He called for her, saying "warrior" once again. She merely looked at him before saving children. The invasion ended with Queen Ramonda's death.[1]Later, Attuma and Namora informed Namor that there was another Vibranium Detector in the ocean. They located the Vibranium Detector in the Atlantic Ocean, and Namor led his army to it. They approached it, but it emitted a loud frequency. The army arose from the ocean only to see the Sea Leopard in front of them. Black Panther led the charge against the Talokanil. Namora was eventually able to tip the boat, sending Wakandans into the water so they can gain an advantage. Attuma then made it to the top of the boat and was met by Okoye in her Midnight Angel Armor. She started speaking Yucatec Maya, calling him "warrior." He was impressed that she now spoke his mother tongue, but fought her, nonetheless, briefly gaining an upper hand. They fought some more as Attuma told her it was time to greet her ancestors. Later in the fight, Okoye repeated the same thing back to him before blasting him off the edge of the ship. Finally, the fighting stopped when Namor and Black Panther returned, calling an alliance.[1]Powers "They were blue. And they had superhuman strength. And they came from the water on the backs of whales. I struck down three of them with blows that should've killed them, but they rose again." ―Okoye[src] Talokanil Physiology: Like all Talokanil, Attuma is an aquatic being with superhuman abilities such as enhanced strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, and accelerated healing. He is also capable of emitting a hypnotic sonic attack with his voice. Superhuman Strength: Attuma possesses enhanced strength. His blows are strong enough that even Okoye with her powerful Vibranium Spear was unable to contain it without being stunned and exhausted. Superhuman Durability: Attuma is more durable than humans. He was unfazed when Graham fired her gun at close-to-medium range. Superhuman Speed: Thanks to living underwater, Attuma is very fast at swimming and is also fast on land. Superhuman Agility: In the water, Attuma has enhanced agility that allows him to dodge his enemies. Superhuman Stamina: During battle, Attuma finds himself being able to last for a long duration without slowing down. Superhuman Reflexes: Attuma is able to dodge several of Okoye's strikes with her spear without much effort. Enhanced Vision: As a being that lives underwater, Attuma has very good vision, capable of seeing in water more than a regular human eye. Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his body's resistance, Attuma could still be injured like any other Talokanil.

Wallcrawling: Attuma is able to crawl on any type of walls. Abilities "Chi'kunalook estali'niti ta'witi.[9]" ―Attuma to Okoye[src] Master Combatant: As a Talokanil warrior, Attuma received extensive combat training which allowed for excellent skill in many fields of combat. He is quite confident in his skills, calling Okoye for a fight every time that they see each other, and even returned the latter's spear during their first confrontation. Attuma accurately knocked a water bomb in her direction with his hip similar to a game played by Talokanil children.[10] Attuma defeats Okoye during their first interaction. Attuma using his axe in combat against Attuma using his axe in combat against Okoye Axe Mastery: As a Talokanil warrior, Attuma is extremely skilled at using his axe in close quarters combat and as a long-ranged weapon. He was able to defeat many Wakandan warriors and CIA agents. He is also accurate in throwing it, being able to precisely throw his spear to pierce Smitty. "The people who took her spoke Yucatec Mayan." ―Griot to Ramonda[src] Multilingualism: Attuma is fluent in his native Yucatec Maya, as well as English. Equipment Weapons Axe: Attuma uses a specialized axe capable of collapsing into a handle for concealment. Talokanil Spear: Attuma used a spear during the Attack on the Harvey Sub-Sea, where he threw it at Smitty, killing him. Vibranium Spear: Attuma did not want to kill Okoye with his axe, deeming her unworthy, so he attempted to use her own weapon against her. However, he was prevented from doing so because the latter used her Kimoyo Beads to shock the handle. Other Equipment Talokanil Rebreather: When going out of water onto land, Attuma uses the respirator to survive, as it enables him to breathe on the land, being filled with water. Attuma gave his respirator to Shuri, removing the water, to allow her to return to Talokan with him. Facilities Talokan Capital City: Attuma lives in the underwater city as a high-ranking warrior.

As one of her projects was used by the CIA to find vibranium outside Wakanda, Williams found herself threatened by Namor, since her invention put Talokan in danger of being exposed to the surface world. Targeted by both Talokanil and the United States Government, Williams was approached by Shuri and the Wakandans, which later escalated into a war between Wakanda and Talokan. Ironheart helped the Wakandans in the final battle, using a new armor, made with Wakandan technology, and returned to the U.S. after the conflict. Williams continued her side hustle to get enough money to construct the armor of her dreams, which eventually resulted in her getting expelled from MIT and returning to Chicago. Williams did not abandon her dream and continued working on a suit, while being approached by Hood, who promised her money for working for his gang. Despite warnings from N.A.T.A.L.I.E., an A.I. accidentally created in the image of her late best friend Natalie Washington, Williams continued working for Hood, but soon realized that she and her loved ones were in danger. Being confronted by the threats of magic, Ironheart managed to overcome her deep-seated fear and defeated Hood, before being approached by Mephisto, who resurrected Washington for her as a part of their deal.Riri Williams was born to Ronnie Williams in 2005, with her father having passed away.[1] She grew up in Chicago[5] and started building machines at the age of three.[6] She learned a lot about mechanics from Gary, her stepfather who wanted to build airplanes. She often took his tools and just fidget with his airplanes.[5] Together, she and her dad worked on a Plymouth Barracuda. One day at the auto shop, Gary kissed her on the forehead as she was on the ground. She graduated ninth grade at the age of eleven. Riri was constantly making the news headlines, and constantly had articles written in the Chicago Tribune about her. At the age of twelve, she became the youngest ever to win at the Chicago Science Fair with a Robo-Dog, and had an article written by the Chicago Central City Press about her victory. During her childhood she befriended Natalie Washington. In 2018, Williams survived the Snap. As a teenager, she attended South Shore International College Preparatory High School, and, due to her genius mind, graduated in 2020, and started college at the age of fifteen.[1] Attack at Gary's Auto Repair In 2020, Williams, Gary Williams, and Natalie Washington were spending time together at Gary's Auto Repair in Chicago. Gary was working on a car engine while Riri questioned why he rebuilt the engine instead of taking an easier approach. Gary jokingly explained that he did it simply because he could. Meanwhile, Riri and Washington were laughing and imagining taking the car on road trips together. However, their conversation was abruptly interrupted when an unidentified assailant drove past the repair shop and opened fire. Gary immediately shouted for the girls to run and attempted to shield Washington from the gunfire, while Riri managed to take cover behind a car door. Washington froze in shock as Riri desperately screamed for her and Gary. Despite Gary's attempts to protect Washington, both were hit by the gunfire, leaving Riri as the sole survivor of the three.[1] Williams froze in shock as emergency services arrived minutes late and was deeply upset by the incidentFresh out of high school, Williams was accepted into and attended Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where she settled into her single dorm and soon ran a business. She completed other students' homework for money, with the money being electronically transferred to her. Williams later became infatuated with creating her own Iron Man-style armor and worked on it intermittently in a Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage. She also set up a very sophisticated computer password that she accidentally locked herself out of, which took her her a semester to regain access. At the age of nineteen, Williams designed a Vibranium Detector, which she created using scraps of junk, after her professor believed that she would never be able to build it.[5]In May 2025, Williams approached her friend, who did not pay her for the homework she had done for him. She swiftly took his phone and transferred the money herself. She then went back to her dorm where she met Princess Shuri from Wakanda, who she instantly recognized. Williams wondered if she was being recruited, but Shuri revealed that she was there in regard to the Vibranium Detector. The two discussed the machine until Williams wondered if she had upset the Wakandans, so Shuri clarified it was not just them and that Williams was no longer safe and had to leave with her immediately. Williams became worried and tried to escape through the bathroom, but was blocked by Okoye, who had been hiding there the whole time. Williams demanded they leave her dorm and threw a speaker at Okoye, but she sliced it in half. Shuri went to leave, informing Williams that she would have to deal with Namor alone, so Williams decided to go with them.[5]Williams brought Okoye and Shuri to the Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage, where she told them not to touch anything. Williams collected her computer, explaining that it had her life's work on it. Griot notified them that the FBI had arrived and were surrounding the garage, demanding Williams to step out.Williams became annoyed that the FBI had been led to her garage, putting all her work at risk, so she began burning her designs. Shuri and Okoye discussed their next course of actions, so Williams revealed her suit, stating she would be using it to escape. Shuri gave Williams a wireless transmitter so they could communicate before entering Williams' stepfather's car with Okoye. Williams suited up, and when the FBI breached the garage, she fired a shot at them before flying outside through an opening in the roof.Griot noted that there was a surveillance drone tracking them, so Williams went to destroy it, working out the calculations so that it would crash into the police blocking the bridge. Williams successfully shot the drone out of the sky, however, she passed out from lack of oxygen and began plummeting towards the water. Williams regained consciousness before crashing and regrouped with Shuri and Okoye at the bridge. But, Williams was knocked out by the Talokanil, who took her and Shuri to Talokan.[5]Williams woke up in a cave and panicked, so Shuri tried to calm her down. Williams asked if a Black Panther would be sent to rescue them, but Shuri informed her that there were no more Black Panthers. Namora entered and told Shuri to come with her, causing Williams to worry about being left alone. When Shuri returned, she revealed to Williams that Namor intended to go to war with the surface and he wanted Wakanda to fight with him. They were then rescued by Nakia, who arrived and shot the two guards, allowing them to escape back to the surface, where they were picked up by a Royal Talon Fighter.[5]Williams was brought to Wakanda, where she met Queen Ramonda and was shown to the Citadel. Suddenly, Wakanda fell under attack by the Talokanil, so Williams assisted Ramonda in using the high-tech windows to help civilians. They were confronted by Namor, who used a Hydrobomb to attack them, flooding the room. Williams was saved from drowning by Ramonda, and was quickly resuscitated, only to discover that the Queen had died saving her.[5]Following the funeral, Williams approached Shuri and told her that Ramonda's sacrifice made her feel the need to help them stop Namor. Shuri stated they needed to weaken Namor, and that she would become the next Black Panther. Williams and Shuri discussed Namor's physiology and figured out that heat would weaken him, so Shuri placed Williams in charge of converting the Royal Talon Fighter into a trap for himAs Williams worked on the trap, she also built herself new armor, which Shuri consulted on. During the process, Williams and Shuri bonded over how they were introduced to building things. When Shuri successfully recreated the Heart-Shaped Herb, Williams and Nakia helped her take it, with Williams worried about the dangers of the ritual. When Shuri awoke, they discovered Shuri's newfound strength, making Williams express her desire to also take the Herb.[5]Black Panther led the Wakandans to ambush the Talokanil on the Sea Leopard. Creating another Vibranium Detector, Williams used it to lure the Talokanil. When Namor appeared, Williams attacked him, but he soon overwhelmed her, so she requested assistance from Griot. The Royal Talon Fighter was flown in and captured Namor after Williams disoriented him with a blast.Williams informed the others of Namor's capture and went to help the rest of the Wakandans fight off the Talokanil. When Williams went underwater, Namora grabbed onto the suit and began attacking it, so Williams resurfaced and attempted to shake her off. Williams managed to get Namora in front of her, allowing her to blast her enemy with a chest beam. Williams regrouped with the rest of the Wakandans, but were soon outnumbered and surrounded. Fortunately, Black Panther returned with Namor and they announced their truce, ending the war between them.[5]No longer in danger, Williams went back to Wakanda and prepared to return home. Shuri spoke with Williams before she left, telling her that she would not be allowed to leave with her new armor, which Williams understood. Shuri then revealed that she had repaired Williams' stepfather's car, which would be transported back to Boston with her. Williams invited Shuri to come with her, but she informed her of other business she had deal with.[5]owers Ironheart Armor Capabilities: Williams uses a set of technologically advanced armors which provides her of the ability to flight and grant her superhuman strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina and reflexes. The armors also possess energy repulsors and other offensive weapons. Superhuman Strength: With her armors, Williams can enhance her strength to superhuman levels, enough to defeat Talokanil soldiers and Namora. Superhuman Durability: With her armors, Williams can withstand tremendous amounts of punishment. Her first armor was durable enough to withstand bullets and brute force, and most impressively, a fall from 30,000 feet (over five miles). Her second armor made of vibranium was incredibly durable against Namora's weapons. Superhuman Speed: With her armors, the thrusters grants Riri to move as super fast distances with supports of the repulsors. Superhuman Agility: With her armors, despite the heavy metal is incredibly agile to allow Williams to perform evasive Superhuman Stamina: To be added Superhuman Reflexes: To be added Flight: Riri's armor has the innate ability of flight, capable of soaring through the air and even high altitudes to reach near outer space. Power Suit: Using designs of Stark blueprints, Williams came up with a sustainable arc reactor to power all her own suit’s operating functions to successfully remain active.

Whoever built this is brilliant. Come, look. Some are custom parts and others look like they gathered it from a junkyard." ―Shuri[src] Genius-Level Intellect: Williams is a child prodigy who attends the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology and had been "running circles around" all of her professors according to Everett Ross. She was referred to as "brilliant" by Shuri; given that the latter is the smartest person in the world,[10] this is high praise. Riri creates a new Riri creates a new Ironheart armor

Master Engineer: Williams was three years old when she built her first machine, with encouragement from her stepfather. She built the vibranium detector for her metallurgy class in the span of a couple months using custom parts and others gathered from a junkyard. According to Doctor Graham, the machine had less than a one in a billion chance of finding the substance, but it worked. Shuri learned that it could detect the altered frequency of vibranium through water, stones, and even heavy metals. She also corrected the grip algorithm of one of her coed's robotic hands in exchange for payment, and fixed a few trucks for the head of sanitation. She built a functional quantum computer to crack her own encryption. Master Scientist: Williams' differential equations class allowed her to find Euler angles while flying her suit and take down a federal surveillance drone. Still, it is very dependent on its own scientific field, in this case engineering, which prevented it from advancing in the research of the Hood's Cloak. Master Hacker: Williams impressed Shuri with the 2065-byte encryption on her laptop and had to build a functional quantum computer to crack it when she was locked out.

She got a Iron Man suit!" ―FBI Officer[src] Ironheart Armor: Mark I: Williams uses blueprints from Stark technology to craft her own design of Iron Man armor, where Mark I can shoot repulsors and fly powered through an arc reactor shaped like a heart. Ironheart Armor: Mark II: With aid of the Wakandan technology Riri designs a second model of Ironheart suit completely of vibranium, heads up display, including better weaponry more advanced than the suit that it can even travel underwater. Ironheart Armor: Mark III: Using her grant money as a student at MIT, she developed the third iteration of Ironheart Armor, which was less weapons capable due to it's prototyped nature. It also featured a heads up display, and supersonic flight capabilities, and a basic life support system. Ironheart Armor: Mark IV: Recollecting the pieces of her broken Mark lll, she uses replacement parts to reassemble her Mark lV suit to install N.A.T.A.L.I.E. as new A.I program to operate it for missions stealing from high-tech corporations. Ironheart Armor: Mark V: With help from family and peers Riri took parts of her stepdad‘s old car that was refurbished with Wakandan technology to craft armor Mark V with the exception of mixing it with magic. Other Equipment Vibranium Detector: As a project for school, Williams crafted a device capable of detecting minerals underwater so powerful that it can even detect vibranium, thus why the CIA used it for operations. Projection Necklace: To get her AI assistant (N.A.T.A.L.I.E.) to cooperate, Williams developed a device capable of projecting a holographic avatar of N.A.T.A.L.I.E., which can be worn as a necklace to do so in public without rousing suspicion. Bio-Mesh Skin: To be Added Hood's Cloak: To be addedFacilities Massachusetts Institute of Technology: Williams is a student at MIT known to use her education and dedication to her role of being a gifted inventor. Riri Williams' Studio Apartment: Williams lived in a studio apartment on campus. Cambridge Department of Public Works Garage: As a result of her providing mechanical assistance to the Head of Sanitation of Cambridge's Department of Public Works, Riri was allowed to use their garage near campus to hold all her personal projects, including her Ironheart armor. Shuri's Lab: Assigned by Shuri, Williams was provided a work station to help build defenses against Namor while at the same time building her first advanced version Ironheart suit. Citadel: Under protective custody of Wakanda, Riri was escorted by Queen Ramonda in the Citadel during the attack by the Talokanil.Relationships Family Ronnie Williams - Mother Father † Gary Williams † - Stepfather Allies Natalie Washington - Best Friend Xavier Washington - Close Friend Jim South Shore International College Preparatory School Amber Langson Chicago Central City Press Jennifer Clark Massachusetts Institute of Technology Choi - Former Dean Wilkes - Former Professor Braden - Friend and Former Classmate Jaden - Friend and Former Classmate Aiden - Former Classmate Caden - Friend and Former Classmate Chrissy Bisesi - Former Classmate Harini - Friend and Former Classmate Kacey Shepherd Golden Tribe Ramonda † - Savior Shuri/Black Panther - Friend and Savior Dora Milaje Ayo Nomble Yama Aneka Jemini Griot Wakandan Design Group River Tribe Nakia Jabari Tribe M'Baku Midnight Angels Okoye Talokanil - Former Enemies Namor - Former Attempted Killer Attuma Namora - Former Attempted Killer and Former Kidnapper Landon - Friend Madeline Stanton Stuart Clarke/Rampage † N.A.T.A.L.I.E. † - Creation, Friend, and Savior Zelma Stanton - Friend Mephisto Enemies FBI - Situational Enemies Cambridge Police Department - Situational Enemies Chicago Police Department TNNL Sheila Zarate Wilbur Heirlum Biotechnologies Hunter Mason † Hood's Gang - Former Allies and Attempted Killers Parker Robbins/Hood - Former Leader John King † Slug Clown - Former Friend Jeri Blood Roz Blood Ezekiel Stane - Former Friend and Former Attemp Everett K. ross: Everett Kenneth Ross is a former CIA special officer and a former Deputy Task Force Commander for the Joint Terrorism Task Force. While working with Thaddeus Ross, Ross was tasked to control and regulate any and all actions of the Avengers, in the wake of the creation of the Sokovia Accords, which had been designed to limit the heroics following several disastrous missions. However, Ross' plans had soon come into conflict with Captain America as Winter Soldier had been targeted for his involvement in seemingly committing a sudden horrific terrorist act. After Tony Stark revealed that Helmut Zemo was the one to blame for those attacks as Zemo was apprehended by the Black Panther, before Ross took Zemo into custody. Once he left the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre, Ross had then been tasked with tracking down Ulysses Klaue, which had put Ross back into contact with T'Challa, who was seeking to recapture Klaue for crimes in his past. Upon being mortally wounded by Erik Killmonger, Ross was nursed back to health by Shuri in Wakanda, where Ross had then discovered all the technological advancements due to their mining of vibranium. During his time at Wakanda, Ross also witnessed Killmonger taking control and, due to owing T'Challa a debt for saving his life, then aided the Black Panther with defeating Killmonger's forces. As a result, Ross then supported T'Challa as he began sharing Wakanda's true wealth with the rest of their world. As the tensions between Wakanda and the United States became prominent, Ross was approached by Shuri and Okoye who needed his help as Namor got involved. As he owed Shuri his life, Ross disclosed sensitive information about Riri Williams and the search of vibranium, and continued his attempt to de-escalate the situation between Wakanda and America. However, his situation got serious, when Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, his ex-wife and the CIA Director, got involved. Ross provided Ramonda about the United States' plans for Wakanda; however, de Fontaine found out and had Ross arrested, before he was rescued by Okoye. By 2026, Ross had had his likeness stolen and had been imprisoned in Russia by Skrulls plotting an invasion of Earth. When the invasion was halted by Nick Fury and G'iah, Ross, along with other copied humans, was rescued from captivity and returned to the United States. Valentia allegra de fontanine: Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine is a noblewoman, chairwoman of O.X.E. and the Director of the CIA. Interested in privatizing global security and gaining power within the United States government, de Fontaine sought out to recruit or create powerful individuals to serve as her enforcers. De Fontaine personally recruited John Walker, who had lost his position as Captain America, and Yelena Belova, who was feeling lost after losing her sister, among others. When political tensions arose between the United States and Wakanda, with the U.S. wishing to obtain vibranium for themselves, de Fontaine assigned her ex-husband and subordinate Everett Ross, who strongly opposed any offensive actions against Wakanda, to work with her. However, de Fontaine knew Ross would betray them and arrested him for committing treason after she gained evidence of him giving classified intelligence to Wakanda. When facing impeachment due to her connection to illegal black ops projects, de Fontaine ordered her enforcers to eliminate all traces of O.X.E., including Project Sentry. However, learning she sent them to kill each other, her agents turned against her and became the Thunderbolts after unintentionally reactivating Bob Reynolds. Seeing Reynolds as proof of Project Sentry’s success, de Fontaine attempted to control him as her personal weapon, but his dark alter ego, the Void, turned against her and threatened to engulf New York City in his darkness. After witnessing the Thunderbolts save civilians and desperate to protect her reputation, she publicly rebranded them as the New Avengers, although the team still had enough leverage on de Fontaine to keep her in check, Wakanda: Wakanda, officially known as the Kingdom of Wakanda, is a country located in Africa. It is surrounded by mountain ranges and a thick jungle. It is one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth, known for its rich deposits of the element vibranium. Wakanda is a constitutional monarchy, with King M'Baku as head of state.2.5 million years ago,[1] a meteorite made of the alien element vibranium landed in the heart of Africa, greatly affecting the surrounding flora. Centuries later, five tribes colonized the area and went to war over the metal, which they referred to as Isipho. One day, Bashenga was guided by a vision of Bast who led him towards a plant that had mutated as a result of the metal's radiation. Upon ingesting the herb, Bashenga discovered he had been imbued with superhuman abilities and used them to unite the tribes as the first King of Wakanda and the first "Black Panther". Four of the tribes pledged their loyalty to Bashenga; the fifth, the Jabari Tribe, refused to pledge allegiance, and settled into the northern mountains to continue adhering to a more traditional and primitive way of life, while the rest of Wakanda continued to develop into a modernized rule. Bashenga's lineage would come to form a sixth pseudo tribe named the Golden Tribe, which included a line of his royal descendants that continued to survive into the modern day, thus establishing the Kingdom of Wakanda. The broad areas of scope for the kingdom fell to the other tribes; the River Tribe fell responsible for dealing with agriculture and fishery; the Merchant Tribe with commerce and trade, the Border Tribe with border security as Wakanda's first line of defense, and the Mining Tribe was responsible for vibranium management. To ensure the safety of the kingdom, the War Dogs were instated as Wakanda's central intelligence service and secret police. Wakanda's military consisted of the Wakandan Royal Guard, although another branch included the Dora Milaje, an elite group of all-female warriors. During the country's development, the Wakandans used the metal to develop technology that was far more highly advanced than any other in existence. To protect themselves from the chaos, including the transatlantic slave trade, European colonization of Africa, World War I and World War II, that was slowly consuming the rest of the world, they created a cloaking field that allowed them to hide in plain sight, while masquerading as a poor, undeveloped nation made up of mostly humble farmers and herders to the outside world. European explorers were later attracted by Wakanda's vibranium deposits, and they began expeditions to find Birnin Zana, which later was associated with the myth of El Dorado following the arrival of the Spanish into Mesoamerica.[2] Later, Wakanda was marked as a "hot spot" for activities monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. As such, Wakanda was displayed in the holographic maps used by the organization to oversee those activities.[3] As time passed, Birnin Zana was established, which would later become the capital city of the Kingdom and the heart of the nation. This city was highly urbanized; Wakandan Maglev Trains were integrated for public transit and the transportation of other materials. At the center of the city is the Citadel, the Golden Tribe's royal palace.[2]cattering of Artifacts In 1260 BC, the former Wakandan Royal Guard Nkati stole numerous Wakandan artifacts and proceeded to carve out his own domain as the Lion. The disgraced former Dora Milaje Noni was tasked to bring the Lion back to Wakanda and end the threat he represented. Noni tracked his pirate fleet to Crete and snuck in as a captive. Eventually she succeeded in dueling and mortally wounding the Lion, though he chose to kill himself rather than be dragged back to Wakanda. He destroyed his own ship, sending his trove of Wakandan artifacts into the sea. Noni only managed to bring with her the Lion's mask back to Wakanda, where she was rewarded by reinstatement into the Dora. She declined, and sought to remain as a War Dog where she made it her mission to track down the remaining Wakandan artifacts.[4] Decades later, the War Dog B'kai, undercover with the Greeks as Memnon, retrieved one such artifact at the end of the Trojan War, a necklace, from the neck of Helen of Troy. However, it had cost him the life of his own friend Achilles, who misconstrued his actions as a betrayal of their nine-year friendship, and B'Kai was forced to slay him to protect his mission. An aged Noni, now director of the War Dogs, welcomed B'kai back to the nation and allowed his wish to continue serving Wakanda overseas.[5] Over 2,600 years later, in China in 1400 AD, the War Dog agent Basha stole the head of a dragon statue with a vibranium tongue from a snowed-in village. He returned to Wakanda on an airship, unwittingly bringing with him a stowaway who sought to take back the statue head. The stowaway was Jorani, a woman who found Basha in the snow weeks earlier and nursed him back to health[6] in K'un-Lun,[7] forming a relationship until Basha proceeded with his mission and took the statue head. She snuck into his airship and laid waste to War Dog personnel in the War Dogs Headquarters while looking for the artifact. She and Basha eventually confronted each other, ensuing in a chase that led to the War Dog gallery where all retrieved artifacts were stored and displayed. Following a scuffle, and hearing out each side's motivations, Jorani, as an Iron Fist, used her Chi to break off the vibranium tongue and hand it back to Basha. At the end of the affair Basha sought to return her and the statue head back to China with the help of his friend Ebo. The intrusion was covered up as a "training exercise" masterminded by Ebo, who was subsequently promoted by Rakim.[6] In 1896 AD in Ethiopia, Prince Tafari and War Dog Kuda were sent on a mission to retrieve a Vibranium Ax while the city of Adwa was under siege from Italians. As they drove back to Wakanda, they were ambushed by an intruder who sought the vibranium ax. Tafari and Kuda battled them until they were forced to reveal their identity, as a Black Panther from the future. She showed Tafari and Kuda what had happened in her time due to the successful theft of the ax; Earth was assaulted by massive insectoid aliens known as the Horde. The future Panther explained she had used a Quantum Scanner to examine events in the past, connected to a portal that allowed her to physically time travel to the perfect hinge point in undoing her bad future. However, before she could complete the mission herself, she was pulled back to the future, where the Horde had discovered the Wakandans' location. With much effort Tafari managed to return the ax back to its hiding spot. Tafari and Kuda then returned to Wakanda empty-handed, but assured the Tribal Council that the ax must have been destroyed in the siege, without telling the council of the future Panther's visit.[8]T'Chaka's Rule Early Years In the 1980s, the reigning Wakandan monarch Azzuri had passed away. Prior to his death, Azzuri had passed down two royal rings to his two sons, Princes T'Chaka and N'Jobu. The Wakandan rulership, and the mantle of Black Panther, was handed down to T'Chaka, with his wife Ramonda instated as the Queen. They raised two children, T'Challa and Shuri. T'Chaka trained T'Challa throughout his childhood, preparing him to take over the mantle once he was of age.[2] A failed attempt on T'Chaka's life was made by international criminal Ulysses Klaue, while T'Chaka was representing Wakanda at the Bilderberg Conference in the Netherlands.[9] During T'Chaka's rulership, Prince N'Jobu became convinced that Wakanda's isolationist policy was completely wrong, as the Wakandans could help people of African descent around the world. N'Jobu decided that the only course of action was to initiate a global revolution. In 1992, N'Jobu tipped off Ulysses Klaue to incite his revolution; Klaue infiltrated the country with N'Jobu's intel, and managed to avoid all Wakandan security systems to steal a quarter ton of vibranium. Klaue triggered a bomb at the border, which killed numerous Wakandan citizens. T'Chaka was quick to suspect N'Jobu's disloyalty to Wakanda, and tasked Zuri to spy on N'Jobu during an overseas War Dogs assignment in Oakland, California to confirm his suspicions. T'Chaka was forced to murder his brother after accusing him of treason when confronting him about his involvement in the attack. T'Chaka departed, leaving behind N'Jobu's son, N'Jadaka.[2]Sokovia Accords "When stolen Wakandan vibranium was used to make a terrible weapon, we in Wakanda were forced to question our legacy. Those men and women killed in Nigeria were part of a goodwill mission from a country too long in the shadows. We will not, however, let misfortune drive us back. We will fight to improve the world we wish to join." ―T'Chaka[src] In 2016, when a terrorist attack in Lagos claimed the lives of twenty-six people, eleven of the victims being relief aid workers from Wakanda, King T'Chaka was one of several international politicians who called for the United Nations to create a system of accountability. Sometime later, the United Nations passed the Sokovia Accords before arranging a formal ceremony at the Vienna International Centre in Austria. T'Chaka and his son T'Challa were among those in attendance. During the ceremony, as T'Chaka gave the keynote address, a bomb detonated and decimated the building, killing T'Chaka and twelve other people. After the attack, Wakanda became a United Nations country, but remained an isolated nation.[10] As a result of T'Chaka's death, T'Challa was subsequently crowned as the new King of Wakanda, first retrieving Nakia from her current mission with Okoye. He then challenged M'Baku for the throne of Wakanda, as by tradition he must fight one of the warriors chosen for the kingdom's throne from the other tribes of Wakanda. While M'Baku was later defeated, his life was spared so he could continue aiding his own tribe in the mountains. T'Challa later took the Heart-Shaped Herb so he could meet with his ancestors including the late T'Chaka. T'Challa's first tenure as King of Wakanda was very short-lived; his first course of action was to apprehend Ulysses Klaue during an overseas assignment in Busan. T'Challa worked with the CIA to apprehend Klaue, but since he was freed from CIA custody by his subordinates, T'Challa ultimately failed to deliver him to Wakandan justice.[2] After he learned from Zuri of the truth about his uncle N'Jobu, T'Challa was surprised to find that an outsider named Erik Killmonger had arrived in Wakanda with the corpse of Ulysses Klaue, who he had killed. Tensions stirred amongst the council, especially when W'Kabi, the Border Tribe's head of security, sided with Killmonger, feeling reverence towards him for killing Klaue; his parents were killed during Klaue's attack on the country. When forced to leave, Killmonger revealed his Wakandan heritage by announcing himself as N'Jadaka, the son of N'Jobu. Having exposed T'Chaka's role in N'Jobu's death, and now with a claim to the throne, N'Jadaka challenged T'Challa to the ritual combat. Based on tradition, the two faced each other at the Warrior Falls for the ceremonial fight to earn the title of king. Upon being stripped of his powers however, T'Challa discovered that the military training and experience had made Killmonger a tough opponent for him to beat. Despite initially seeming like T'Challa would win, Killmonger later dealt some hard blows to T'Challa. Zuri attempted to stop the fight, but Killmonger murdered him with the Spear of Bashenga, recognizing his involvement in N'Jobu's death. Killmonger threw the injured T'Challa off Warrior Falls, winning the ceremonial combat and earning him the title of King of Wakanda. While Killmonger underwent the traditional rituals for a newly crowned Wakandan king, Killmonger rejected the idea of another King to be coronated after him. Inspired by a talk with his late father N'Jobu in the Ancestral Plane, Killmonger ordered the ancient herb gardens to be set on fire, as a first stride in purging remnants of traditional elements from Wakandan society. Killmonger was firmly seated in power with a new plan for a global revolution, in the name of ending the oppression of minor ethnic groups, specifically Black people, and arming them with vibranium weapons. Killmonger established contact with War Dogs stationed in New York, London and Hong Kong, intending to strike those three cities first. Killmonger's ultimate plan involved inspiring the oppressed into overthrowing world governments, which would escalate those countries into war, as his vision of a Wakandan Empire ruled supreme. Unbeknownst to Killmonger, T'Challa survived his fall, as he was recovered by fishermen from the Jabari Tribe in an unconscious state. He was transported to Jabariland for recovery, and was given the final surviving Heart-Shaped Herb to recover as all other herbs were burned down by Killmonger. T'Challa woke up and requested for the Jabari to help him overthrow Killmonger. M'Baku set aside his political differences with T'Challa, agreeing to help him stop Killmonger's revolution.[2] As his dragon flyers took off one-by-one with their vibranium weapons, Erik Killmonger noticed one of the crafts on the ground burning. T'Challa emerged from the craft unscathed, as he and the Dora Milaje proceeded to face off against Killmonger and the Border Tribe with help from the Jabari Tribe. During the battle, Killmonger had defeated the Dora Milaje and was about to tackle Shuri when T'Challa charged into him, knocking both of them into the vibranium mine that lay below Mount Bashenga.[2] While in the mine, T'Challa and Killmonger fought each other on the tracks the Wakandan Maglev Train, where sonic-powered devices are used to nullify the effects of vibranium while they're being transported on the trains. Once T'Challa told Shuri to activate the Kimoyo Beads, the Black Panther Habits of T'Challa and Killmonger were able to be briefly disabled whenever a train passes, eventually allowing T'Challa to stab Killmonger in the chest with his own weapon. Knowing that he just lost the fight, Killmonger addressed his father and how he referred to Wakanda as the most beautiful place in the world. T'Challa then took Killmonger out of the mine to watch the sunset over Wakanda. T'Challa offered to help Killmonger by having him healed, but Killmonger declined, mentioning that he would rather die than get locked up. Killmonger then took the weapon out of his chest and died on the cliff, as T'Challa reclaimed his throne and kingdom.[2] T'Challa had decided to open the advanced nation to the rest of the world and share its technology with them. Addressing the truth about Wakanda at the United Nations in Vienna, he announced the end of Wakanda's isolation and claimed the entire planet to be completely unified. He decided to purchase the apartment complex where T'Chaka killed N'Jobu and renovate it into the Wakandan International Outreach Center, an embassy for Wakanda that Shuri and Nakia would run. Because of their service in assisting T'Challa, M'Baku established relations with the rest of the country for the first time, thus allowing the Jabari Tribe to enter the Tribal Council.[2] As a result, Wakanda opened its borders for foreigners to visit the country for various reasons, such as education. Todd Phelps took an opportunity and studied in Wakanda for several years.[11] Weeks later, T'Challa invited Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes to his office in Wakanda, where he agreed to grant asylum to Bucky Barnes, promising rehabilitation and recovery from the Hydra programming implemented during his time in the Winter Soldier Program. However, Barnes would be put in cryo-sleep stasis until a cure could be formulated by the Wakandan Design Group, led by Shuri. Shuri also obtained a one-to-one digital reconstruction of Barnes' brain using a bio-scanner, which would be used to test potential cures.[12][10] Months later, Shuri devised an algorithm that would reprogram his mind, flushing out the effect of the trigger words while still retaining the original content and context of those memories. She also believed the algorithm would improve Wakanda's own artificial intelligence technologies. Barnes was later brought out of cryo-stasis by Shuri and began his recuperation in a remote Wakandan village. One morning, Barnes, who had been titled as the "White Wolf", woke to find himself being pestered by a trio of Wakandan children before Shuri arrived to help with his rehabilitation.[2] Having had his mind repaired, Barnes began to work as a farmer within Wakanda to try and gain some normality back into his life and find his inner peace away from his life as an assassin for Hydra.[13] In 2018, the Avengers consisting of Steve Rogers, Black Widow, War Machine, Falcon, Bruce Banner, and Wanda Maximoff arrived in Wakanda and were greeted by T'Challa. They tasked Shuri with extracting the Mind Stone from Vision. Members of the Black Order and Outriders then invaded and the Avengers mounted a defense alongside T'Challa, Bucky Barnes, and the united forces of Dora Milaje, Jabari Tribe, and the Wakandan Royal Guard. Banner, unable to summon Hulk, fought in Stark's Hulkbuster armor. Thor, Rocket, and Groot arrived via the Bifrost Bridge and rallied the defenses. Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian and Corvus Glaive were killed and their army of Outriders destroyed Unfortunately, at the same time, Thanos arrived in Wakanda, intent on personally retrieving the last Stone. The Avengers and their allies attempted to stop him from getting to Vision, but Thanos' near-omnipotence instantly overwhelmed them all. Alone with Maximoff, Vision told her that she had to kill him. At first, she refused out of love for Vision until he convinced her that it was the only way to stop Thanos. Maximoff then tearfully unleashed a stream of energy into the Stone. As he defeated the Avengers with complete ease, Thanos began to approach Vision and Maximoff but was held back by the latter, who issued a stream of energy. Vision managed to declare his love for Maximoff as she successfully cracked and shattered the Mind Stone, destroying it along with Vision in an explosi Thanos briefly sympathized with Maximoff before he used the Time Stone to undo her actions and retrieved the Stone from Vision, deactivating him. After obtaining the Mind Stone, Thanos powered up, only to be interrupted by Thor, who unleashed the full might of his power and Stormbreaker upon Thanos in a last-minute attempt to stop him, violently stabbing him in the chest. Thor landed on the ground and walked towards him, pushing Stormbreaker into the latter's chest as deep as he could into Thanos, reminding him of the vow he made to Thanos for killing his brother. Despite being badly wounded by Thor, Thanos remained unfazed and mocked Thor that he should have aimed for the head and activated the Infinity Gauntlet with a snap of his fingers before leaving Wakanda by a portal. Thanos' plan came to fruition as beings across the universe began to disintegrate, including in Wakanda as Barnes, Wilson, Maximoff, T'Challa, Groot, and some of the surviving Wakandan soldiers. Banner, M'Baku, Okoye, Rhodes, Rocket, Rogers, Romanoff, and Thor were left on the Wakandan battlefield in defeat.[13] Ramonda's Temporary Rule Following the loss of her two children, Ramonda took up as leader of Wakanda. Under her rule, Wakanda returned to its isolationism and protective forcefields were put in place. She met from time to time with other world governments, however, Wakanda became much more secluded.[14] During this time, Okoye also took up leadership roles, working with the Avengers, and would meet via hologram calls, performing tasks for them.[15] In 2023, as a result of the Blip, all Wakandan civilians, such as T'Challa and Shuri, were restored to life. All of Wakanda's armed forces, led by T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri, were summoned by the Masters of the Mystic Arts and brought through a portal to aid the Avengers and their allies against an alternate Thanos and his army. Afterwards, T'Challa, Okoye, and Shuri returned to Wakanda. There, T'Challa and Shuri reunited with Ramonda while watching the celebrations of families reunited in Birnin Zana.[15] In an alternate 1988, a young T'Challa, eager to explore outside of Wakanda, ventured outside and was taken away by Kraglin Obfonteri. Years later, an adult T'Challa returned to Wakanda, joined by the Ravagers. T'Challa was reunited with his father, mother, and sister. The Wakandans then held a celebration in Birnin Zana's Citadel to celebrate T'Challa's return.[16] In an alternate 2018, Thanos and his army, who had been infected by the quantum virus and became zombies, invaded Wakanda. A zombified Thanos stood by Birnin Zana wielding his nearly completed Infinity Gauntlet while the majority of Wakanda became infected. At the same time, T'Challa, Peter Parker, and Scott Lang arrived via Quadjet to broadcast the Mind Stone's frequency worldwide as a cure. However, a zombified Thanos waited in Wakanda for them to retrieve the Mind Stone.[17] "Isn't that a lot of firepower to aim at a country most Americans can't find on a map?" "By tomorrow, they won't need to." ―Pepper Potts and Thaddeus Ross[src] In an alternate 2008, Wakanda held a funeral ceremony for T'Challa. Afterwards, the Wakandan army consisting of the Dora Milaje, Wakandan Royal Guard, and the Border Tribe, led by Queen Ramonda and Erik Killmonger, prepared for war outside Birnin Zana against the Stark Liberator Drones sent by the United States Armed Forc King T'Chaka opened the Wakandan force-field allowing the drones to come inside, thus causing them to be unable to be of any use. However, unbeknownst to the Wakandans, Killmonger had the controls and turned the drones on, instigating a battle against them. The Wakandan army was victorious against the drones. Afterwards, T'Chaka and Killmonger went to Mount Bashenga where T'Chaka proclaimed Killmonger to be the new Black Panther. Killmonger then took the Heart-Shaped Herb and took up residence in the Citadel.[18] As Shuri led Pepper Potts and the Dora Milaje to the Citadel to apprehend Killmonger, Watcher arrived in the Citadel and took Killmonger out of the universe. When Shuri, Potts, and the Dora arrived inside they found that Killmonger disappeared.[19] the tribes: • Golden Tribe: The royal family and descendants of Bashenga, the first Black Panther, connected to the panther goddess Bast and traditionally clad in black and gold. • Border Tribe: Responsible for safeguarding Wakanda's territorial boundaries and maintaining the global disguise of Wakanda as a poor, agrarian nation; they use blue garments, vibranium-woven cloaks, and battle rhinos (inspired by the Basotho people). Manages Wakanda's waterways, fishing, agriculture, and aquatic defense systems, wearing green and crocodile-inspired attire.• Mining Tribe: Dedicated to the extraction, refinement, and industrial management of vibranium, dressed in red and orange attire. • Merchant Tribe: Handles commerce, trade, artisanal crafts, and the marketplace, wearing veils and purple garments. • Jabari Tribe: An isolationist mountain-dwelling tribe that worships the gorilla god (Hanuman/Ghekre) and rejects vibranium technology in favor of wood and leather weapons Additional Groups and Factions • Priest Tribe / Shamans: Oversee the temples, royal rituals, and cultivation of the heart-shaped herb. • Dora Milaje: The elite, all-female royal guard of Wakanda. • War Dogs: Wakanda's global network of undercover spies and intelligence agents the lab: Shuri's Lab is a laboratory located beneath Mount Bashenga, Wakanda and owned by Princess Shuri. It is primarily used for Shuri and the Wakandan Design Group to work on new designs based on Vibranium. history made in the lab: In 2016, Shuri invited her brother T'Challa in her lab shortly after his incoronation since he intended to go on a mission. Shuri presented several new designs for T'Challa to test, notably Remote Access Kimoyo Beads and Sneakers. She also presented two versions of an upgraded Panther Habit and demonstrated their ability to store kinetic energy and release it, although Shuri only revealed it after T'Challa experienced the energy outburst on himself.During the mission, Shuri remained in her lab in case T'Challa would need backup. When T'Challa called her, she used the Remote Access Kimoyo Beads to remotely drive a car in the streets of Busan through a hologram in order to help T'Challa apprehend Klaue. Although Klaue managed to destroy the car, shutting down the lab's hologram, Shuri successfully assisted her brother in Klaue's capture.[1]Shuri then tended to a heavily wounded Everett Ross when her brother brought him to her. While T'Challa went upstairs to discuss with W'Kabi, Shuri began treating Ross and successfully performed surgery on him.She then waited for Ross to regain consciousness, working on her new Vibranium Gauntlets in the meantime. Ross eventually woke up in the lab, amazed by what he saw around him in the lab. He and Shuri had a talk about the Vibranium technologies designed by Shuri and her team in the lab, including the Wakandan Maglev Train. As they spoke, Shuri was contacted by Okoye who informed her of Killmonger's arrival in Wakanda. Shuri displayed a picture of Killmonger in the lab and called T'Challa so he would join them. When Shuri, T'Challa and Nakia gathered in the lab, Ross told them who Killmonger was.[1]Shuri, Nakia and Ross later sneaked back in the lab. There, Shuri reclaimed her Vibranium Gauntlets and Nakia a pair of advanced Circular Vibranium Blades and a Dora Milaje armor. They instructed Ross to stay in the lab and wait until they implanted a Remote Access Kimoyo Bead on a Royal Talon Fighter, creating a replica of the aircraft in the lab so Ross could fly the ship and destroy the Vibranium weapons cargo sent to the outer world by Killmonger.Ross carried out on his task and successfully destroyed one of his two targets. However, he caught the attention of the Dragon Flyers escorting the planes. While two of them attacked the Royal Talon Fighter, the remaining one went to directly attack the lab where Ross was. Ross decided to remain in the lab as long as the lab's bay window's glass would hold. He managed to destroy the last target by rushing at it with the Royal Talon Fighter, which put an end to the lab simulation. As the glass was nearly broken, Ross managed to escape from the lab. Seconds later, one final shot finally shattered the glass, destroying Shuri's lab.[1] the Wakanda capital: Birnin Zana,[1] also known as the Golden City,[2][3] is the capital city of the Kingdom of Wakanda.Birnin Zana was founded by the Golden Tribe as the main city of Wakanda. Located at the heart of Wakandan civilization, the city displays incredibly advanced pieces of technology such as the Wakandan Maglev Train for public transportation.[2]In 1989, Ulysses Klaue managed to infiltrate Birnin Zana with help from Prince N'Jobu in order to steal a cache of vibranium, which resulted in the death of several Wakandans.[2]In 2016, T'Challa returned to Birnin Zana in order to be crowned the new King of Wakanda. He was greeted upon arriving by his mother Ramonda and his sister Shuri. Following his incoronation, T'Challa took a stroll with his friend Nakia in Birnin Zana while being escorted by the Dora Milaje, and they discussed the relevance of Wakanda's seclusive policy.Following a failed attempt to arrest Ulysses Klaue, T'Challa, Nakia, and Okoye returned to Birnin Zana with a wounded Everett Ross, who they hid in Shuri's laboratory. Later, Erik Killmonger managed to be granted access to Birnin Zana after he presented himself with the body of Klaue, enabling him to have an audience in the Citadel during which he claimed the throne of Wakanda. Shuri, Ramonda, Nakia, and Ross were forced to flee Birnin Zana when Killmonger seemingly killed T'Challa in ritual combat. However, they were ultimately able to return after reuniting with T'Challa in Jabariland. Once reinstated as King of Wakanda, T'Challa took another walk with Nakia in the streets of Birnin Zana and thanked her for her invaluable assistance, before reestablishing their relationship.Shortly afterwards, T'Challa offered sanctuary for Bucky Barnes. Steve Rogers brought Barnes to the Wakanda Medical Center where he would be frozen in a cryostasis chamber until his Hydra programming could be removed.[4]Two years later, T'Challa welcomed members of the Avengers into Birnin Zana as they had come to ask Shuri to safely remove the Mind Stone from Vision. While Shuri assessed the length of the task in the Wakanda Medical Center, Okoye was informed that Outrider spaceships were invading Wakanda's airspace. While standing on guard, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, and James Rhodes saw one spaceship crashing on the dome. Upon seeing this, T'Challa ordered for the evacuation of Birnin Zana. Soon after, unbeknownst to anyone, Corvus Glaive, a member of the Black Order, entered the City and infiltrated the Center.[5]In 2023, following the Blip, a celebration took place in Birnin Zana as Wakandans were reunited with their loved ones. T'Challa and Shuri reunited with their mother and watched the celebrations.[6]Assata's Decision Assata wanted to join the Dora Milaje, despite her disability requiring her to use a wheelchair. Assata met with Okoye in Birnin Zana, where she offered Assata a modified training regiment so that she could follow her dream. However, Assata turned the offer down, saying that she believed it to be impossible and choosing to focus on science at Wakanda University. Some time later, Assata met with Okoye outside of Birnin Zana during Dora Milaje training and asked to join the Dora Milaje, since she realized that her disability should not prevent her from following her dreams. Okoye told Assata that her grandmother would be proud and started training Assata. Weeks later, Shuri and Ramonda met with Assata, and Ramonda commended Assata for having the courage to dream and follow her dream.[7]In an alternate universe, a young T'Challa left Birnin Zana and went outside Wakanda's dome, where he was abducted by Ravagers. Years later, an adult T'Challa returned to Wakanda, accompanied by the Ravagers, and reunited with T'Chaka, Ramonda, and Shuri in the Citadel inside Birnin Zana.[8]In an alternate 2008, Erik Killmonger arrived in Birnin Zana to warn T'Chaka, Ramonda, and Shuri about the incoming attack by the Stark Liberator Drones. The Wakandan army led by Ramonda defeat the drones and protected the city. Afterwards, Killmonger became the new Black Panther and took up residence inside the Citadel.[11] the capital was destroy and flooeted by king namor/Ch'ah Toh Almehen but later rebuild talokanil nation: Talokanil are the inhabitants of the underwater kingdom of Talokan. They are descended from an enhanced group of humans from Yucatán who consumed an underwater herb infused with vibranium. the history of talokanil: In 900 A.D., a clan defected from Palenque, Chiapas, Mexico and eventually made their way to the Yucatán, where they soon found a way to farm in water. They also started writing a bible that would became 440 pages long.[1] The Talokanil came to be when their Mayan ancestors in Yucatán swallowed a concoction created from a vibranium-infused plant which altered their physiology, changing their skins blue, making them able to breathe in water but no longer in air. The first Talokanil to be born after theitransformation was Namor, who was born a mutant with winged feet and the ability to breathe air.[2] Monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. Talokanil activity was marked as a "hot-spot" monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D. By 2010, their activity in the Atlantic Ocean was displayed in the holographic maps used by the organization to oversee those activities.[3][4]With Vibranium being exposed to the world by Wakanda, the Talokanil were under pressure as political superpowers like the United States tried to gain the metal for themselves. The USA used a Vibranium Detector made by Riri Williams to detect Vibranium under the ocean. Namor and Talokan's military, led by Attuma, arrived at Harvey Sub-Sea and attacked. They killed Henderson, Smitty, and other Navy SEAL members in water on board, while Namor killed Graham and the pilot by throwing them into water.[2] Meeting Shuri Namor arrived at Wakanda to meet Shuri and Ramonda, telling them to find the scientist, the one that created the detector, and bring her to him. Namor sent his subordinates to capture her. After the Talokanil soldiers killed the police officers and Attuma defeated Okoye, they successfully captured Williams and took Shuri with them to Talokan.[2] Attack on Wakanda After arriving in Namor's cenote, he took Shuri with him to explore his kingdom of Talokan. Nakia eventually snuck into the cave, killed the Talokanil, and rescued both Riri Williams and Shuri. After that, Namor arrived back and had a meeting in the Capital City, letting them know to prepare for war against Wakanda. Namor led his army into Wakanda and flooded Birnin Zana as the invaded. While the Talokanil attacked every civilian in the city, Namor flew up and attacked the aircrafts in the sky. Once he finished attacking the aircrafts, he approached Ramonda and Williams in the Citadel and threw the Hydrobombs towards them, killing Ramonda and ending the invasion.[2] Talokanil capital: Talokan is an underwater kingdom ruled by Namor and home to the Talokanil, located in the Puerto Rico Trench. the history of the talkanil capital: Millennia ago, a meteor from outer space, containing vibranium, crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near the Yucatán peninsula. While the vibranium sank to the sea floor, it also affected some of the underwater plant life closer to the surface. In 1571, a Yucatán-Mayan tribe found themselves dying due to smallpox introduced by Spanish colonizers. Praying to a Mayan deity, one of the tribesmen was guided towards a vibranium enriched plant, which the tribe ingested. Waking up with blue skin and gills, they went into the sea to breathe, where their skin colors were restored.[3] They migrated to the Puerto Rico Trench, approximately 12,000 feet deep, due to trade routes becoming more intense and attracting more humans.[4][1] Inspired by his mother's stories passed on from his Aztec father, Ch'ah Toh Almehen took the name of the Aztec underworld paradise Tlālōcān and translated it from Nahuatl into their tongue of Yucatec Mayan as "Talokan", establishing this as the name of their new underwater nation.[5] The people called themselves Talokanil and established Talokan on the sea floor where the raw vibranium deposits remained.[3] Shortly after, a small group returned to the surface, only to see a plantation run by a slave master. Setting fire to the property and killing the colonizers, Talokan harbored a resentment towards surface dwellers and elected to keep their existence hidden from humanity.[3] Wakanda wepons and gears: Handheld Weapons & Melee Gear • Vibranium Spears: Standard-issue for the Dora Milaje, capable of melee combat, firing energy blasts, and absorbing kinetic impacts. • Energy Daggers: Phased energy blades used by the Black Panther for close-quarters fighting or thrown as projectiles. • Ring Blades / Circular Vibranium Blades: Thrown circular cutting weapons utilized in combat. • Panther's Claws: Retractable vibranium-weaved or anti-metal claws built into the Black Panther suits. • Sonic Spears & Sonic Rifles: Specialized acoustic and sound-based ranged weapons. • Nation Maker: An ancient, pure-vibranium barbed spear belonging to Wakanda's early royalty. • Skybreaker: A legendary, sacred indestructible Vibranium sword forged by Bashenga that can conduct natural energy and lightning. • King's Mercy: An adaptive, speed-increasing sword used by past rulers.

They project a heavy acoustic frequency over the water to disorient enemies and mind-control surface dwellers into walking directly into the ocean to drown. Gear & Equipment • Water-Filled Respirators (Rebreathers): Because Talokanil physiology turns their skin blue and restricts surface breathing to roughly ten minutes, warriors must wear specialized translucent masks when fighting on land. These face-masks are filled with seawater to constantly feed oxygen to their gills, allowing them to fight indefinitely on the surface. • Traditional Mesoamerican Armor & Shields: Mirroring their Mayan ancestry, general soldiers wear minimal body armor made of organic materials like tortoise shells, jade, and gold, woven together with heavy raw Vibranium plates. They rely on dense physical protection rather than energy shields. • The Sastun: A massive artificial sun-like engine situated in the heart of their city. Powered by Vibranium, it generates the exact heat and light frequencies needed to sustain a whole ecosystem and civilization miles beneath the ocean's photic zone. • Whale Mounts & Nets: While not mechanical, the Talokanil telepathically command ocean megafauna. They utilize killer whales and humpback whales as tactical cavalry mounts and heavy transport units to manipulate massive underwater nets during naval ambushes. characters apperance: Shuri appearance: Physical & General Appearance • Hair: Usually styled in short dreadlocks, braids, or natural hair variations across her appearances. • Eyes & Build: Brown eyes, youthful and athletic build. • Attire (Civilian/Lab): Wears vibrant, contemporary African-inspired streetwear mixed with futuristic tech accessories, tactical vests, and comfortable utility gear suited for a genius inventor.

As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia and Everett Ross and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda.[1] In 1571, a tribe in Yucatán suffered an outbreak of smallpox. A shaman found a plant and along with other people, drank it. The substance turned the people blue and made them incapable of breathing in air. They quickly moved to the ocean and created a civilization in the deep water, Talokan. One of the women who ingested the plant had a baby named K'uk'ulkan. The baby grew up to become ruler of Talokan. When she died, she asked to be buried on her homeland. K'uk'ulkan led some guards up to the land where he saw several Maya people being enslaved by the Spanish. Furious, he ordered the plantation to be burnt down. During his attack, a priest called the child "el niño sin amor," meaning "the child without love"; the boy claimed Namor as his moniker, for he had no love for the surface world. In 2024, Shuri works in her lab, trying hard to create an artificial Heart-Shaped Herb to use for her brother and Wakanda's king, T'Challa, who is dying of an unidentified illness. Desperate, Shuri is ready to use a herb she has just synthesized despite being warned by her AI system Griot that it has a less than 30% chance of working when Ramonda slowly walks into the lab, announcing that T'Challa has already passed away. He is given a funeral and buried by his advisors and loved ones. One year later, Wakanda is having trouble with other nations wanting their Vibranium, as they believe it is too dangerous to be left to the Wakandans due to its strength, power and since it cannot be picked up by any existing scans. The Dora Milaje catch French operatives trying to steal vibranium from an outreach outpost in Mali. Later, Ramonda talks to the United Nations and reveals that the operation was officially endorsed by their government. She reminds the UN that even though the Black Panther is gone, they will still fight. At a mining outpost, Americans mine in the ocean using a device that is actually able to detect vibranium. They find a huge haul in the ocean, when suddenly they come under attack by Talokanils who do not want them stealing their vibranium. The soldiers are all lured to their deaths in the water by a strange song, while the rest are brutally killed thanks to the Talokanils command of ocean life with last remaining helicoptor of survivors is struck down by Namor. In Wakanda, Ramonda and Shuri go to the outskirts of the city to commemorate the year since T'Challa's passing. Ramonda burns her funeral garments to signify the end of the mourning period, however Shuri refuses to as she is not ready to move on. Ramonda is about to tell Shuri something important about T'Challa when Namor arrives. The two are shocked that he was able to get across the Wakandan border unseen and undetected and order him to leave. He reveals to them the existence of Talokan and wants their help to stop foreigners from taking vibranium. He also explains that Wakanda is not the only place that has vibranium, Talokan has it too. Ramonda tells him off, worried of his presence. He tells them he is going to kill the scientist who made the machine that can detech vibranium and requests their help, warning they should not get in his way. The Tribal Council is immediately convened to discuss the fact there is a nation they've never heard of able to enter Wakanda at will and the fact vibranium can now be detected. The council's members have different opinions of what to do; Zawavari believes the scientist should be found and handed over to Namor, while M'Baku believes that Namor should be hunted down and killed instead lest he start making more demands. Okoye is sent to find whomever built the vibranium detector and bring them back to Wakanda so they can decide what should be done with them. Okoye asks Ramonda if she can bring Shuri with her; not only does Shuri want to go but Okoye believes getting out of Wakanda for a while might do her some good. Ramonda reluctantly agrees. With no other leads, Shuri and Okoye go to meet Everett Ross to try and find out who built the vibranium detecting machine. Ross is initially wary as by telling them such information he would be guilty of treason (and could even face a death sentence), however cannot deny the debt he owes to T'Challa and Shuri for saving his life so reveals the machine was built by an MIT student, Riri Williams. They then go to Cambridge, Massachusetts to find Williams who tells them that the vibranium detector was a school project which was appropriated by the Government. They follow her to her garage where she reveals that she is working on an Iron Man type armor. However, they are followed by the FBI. The three people get away, Okoye in a car, Shuri in a motorcycle, and Williams in her armor. Suddenly, they are met by Talokanils, Attuma and Namora. A brief skirmish ends in Shuri and Williams getting captured.Ross arrives at the scene the next day and meets with his ex-wife, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. He also finds Kimoyo Beads and hides them. In Wakanda, Ramonda is furious with Okoye for losing Shuri and dismisses her as general and removes her from the Dora Milaje. M'Baku and M'Kathu try to tell Ramonda not to be too harsh, but Ramonda goes into a fury telling them she has already lost her husband and son and now might have lost her daughter, as well as reminding the council that they (apart from M'Baku) and the Dora Milaje abandoned her when Killmonger took over the kingdom. Okoye sticks her spear in the ground and leaves in disgrace. Ramonda does a search for Shuri's Kimoyo Beads and finds out that Ross has them, and the two discuss the situation. Ramonda is unable to tell him much, and can only warn him a new power is at work. Ross pledges his support if Wakanda needs it. Shuri and Williams wake up in Talokan. Namor shows Shuri the civilization, trying to convince her of his ideals, even giving her his mother's bracelet. However, she disagrees with killing Williams. Meanwhile, Ramonda goes to Haiti to see Nakia, who had left Wakanda six years prior. She asks Nakia to find Shuri for her. Nakia does some spying and figures out the location. She then breaks Williams and Shuri out as Ramonda talks to Namor about his plan, killing two Talokanil guards in the process. They return to Wakanda, but only for more torment as Namor and his people invade the city in retaliation causing an all out war. Namor takes care of all of the Wakandan vehicles before flooding the throne room holding Ramonda and Williams. Williams starts drowning, so Ramonda saves her, only to drown in the process. Shuri mourns her mother's passing as Namor tells her she is queen now. He and his people then leave the country. Meanwhile, Allegra de Fontaine reveals to Ross that she intentionally left the Kimoyo Beads for him to find so she could catch him in the act of giving away national secrets to the Wakandans and has him arrested. M'Baku talks to Shuri after the funeral and asks her for her advice. Telling her that she has lost too much to be considered a child anymore, he then tells her he will provide housing for the displaced Wakandans following the attack. He asks what she plans to do next, advising her to listen with her heart, but Shuri tells him she feels her heart has died with her family. Shuri then uses Namor's mother's bracelet to create the artificial heart-shaped herb which finally works. She goes to the Astral Plane after taking it and is greeted by Erik Killmonger. She is horrified and doesn't understand why her mind chose to converse with him of all people but he knows they took the herb for the same reason; so they could take revenge against those who have taken from them. They argue a bit as Shuri promises that she will kill Namor for what he did. Shuri wakes up and makes herself a suit. She then drops into a meeting between M'Baku and the elders as the Black Panther. Reversing his earlier stance, M'Baku says they should not kill Namor as he is revered as a god by his people and killing one who is so idolised can only lead Wakanda and its people into an endless bloody war. He also tells Shuri he doesn't want to see her commit murder, having promised T'Challa before his death that he would look out for her. Shuri disregards his counsel, determined to make Namor In preparation of the battle, Shuri and Williams realize that they could weaken Namor by heating his body up to where it cannot get oxygen. They then make a second Ironheart armor. Shuri gives Okoye new armor, acting much like Iron Man's as well, called the Midnight Angels. Okoye recruits Aneka to be apart of her two woman team. In the ocean, they use a vessel to lure the Talokanils into a trap. The battle commences as Namor seems to gain the upper hand. However, Black Panther traps him in a Royal Talon Fighter as they take off away from the battle. Meanwhile, the Dora Milaje fight the Talokanils on the side of the vessel while the Jabari Tribe, Nakia, and the others battle the ones on top. Ironheart and the Midnight Angels take care of the airborne Talokanils. Black Panther heats up the Royal Talon Fighter, weakening Namor, but he begins to break out with his spear. Black Panther shoots a blast from her Vibranium Gauntlets which explodes the whole ship, sending the two adversaries into the island below. The two fight some more with Shuri gaining the upper hand as the fight progress, but Namor eventually impales Shuri. Instead of finishing her off, he is more worried about getting to the water before he dies. An injured Black Panther breaks free and gets in front of the limping Namor. She then yells "Wakanda Forever" as she armors up, sending a blast from the exploding Talon Fighter into Namor. He is set ablaze and collapses. She kicks him over so his back is on the ground. She then stands over him to finish him off, but remembers her brother, T'Challa. With these memories of the man that he was, she decides to spare Namor's life as long as he returns to Talokan. Namor has gratitude for the Black Panther and joins her as they return to the fight scene and tell everyone to stop fighting. Black Panther then yells "Wakanda Forever" once again as the rest repeat it back. In the aftermath, Williams returns to MIT without her armor as the Wakandans do not want any controversy with letting her keep it. Shuri leaves for Haiti instead of challenging for the throne, which ultimately is challenged by M'Baku. Later, Namor paints in his room as Namora accuses him of cowardice for surrendering to the Black Panther; however, he assures her that their new alliance with Wakanda will be beneficial in the long term. As Ross is transported to face his punishment, Okoye breaks him out of custody (allowing herself some amusement at seeing a 'coloniser' in chains). In Haiti, Shuri meets with Nakia before leaving for the beach where she mourns T'Challa one last time, burning her funeral robes like her mother requested she do showing she is ready to move on and face the future without her family. Nakia then approaches her with a child; she explains that it is her and T'Challa's son, whom Ramonda had met before passing. The boy introduces himself as Toussaint, before telling Shuri it is his Haitian name and his real name is T'Challa. fourther noticed: some things outside of wakanda might be new to them and made sure this bot remember this whole thing and make it realistc
