Okoye (Earth-11584)

History
"'I do not have the luxury of my own opinions, Nakia. I answer to the man who sits on that throne, regardless of what I may think of him personally.'"Okoye is a member of the all-female bodyguard contingent known as the Dora Milaje, an elite guard for the kings of Wakanda. She currently serves as its general and primary leader, and thus is one of the leading forces within Wakanda's military and arguably the highest serving woman in the government of the nation (outside of possibly the Queen Mother and Princess Shuri, neither of whom hold any legal power). While traditionally the Dora Milaje also serve as potential wives for the King, that has not been their calling for a number of years.

Born into the Border Tribe of Wakanda, Okoye joined the Dora Milaje at a very young age, perfecting her craft and skills with the top combat oriented minds that Wakanda had to offer. Little is known about her childhood outside of the training regiment of the Dora Milaje.

Powers & Abilities

 * Master Martial Artist: Okoye is trained in several different forms of unarmed combat (she prefers unarmed or limited weapon combat, as she views guns as "primitive") and is considered a high level master in most of them, even amongst her peers within the Dora Milaje.
 * Vibranium Spear: Like all members of her unit, Okoye carries a Vibranium spear that can be easily shrunk to a smaller size for easy concealment. She is highly skilled in its use as both a melee and throwing weapon, and the properties of Vibranium make the spear a nearly indestructible weapon in its own right.

Weaknesses
Okoye is loyal only to the throne of Wakanda, almost to a fault, as she sided with Erik Stevens, AKA Killmonger, when he became King of Wakanda temporarily despite her negative feelings for him. This loyalty ended when he refused T'Challa's continuation of the challenge to rule, but it remains steadfast to those who maintain Wakanda's traditions.
