―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. After 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. After the Blip in 2023, which 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.
Early Life Joining the Dora Milaje
Okoye joined the Dora Milaje and started training, becoming the greatest warrior in Wakanda. She was promoted to General of the Dora Milaje.
Training Assata
―Okoye to Assata 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.
―W'Kabi and Okoye
Okoye is a fiercely loyal protector of Wakanda who isn't afraid to question her king but would defend him with her life, fiercely protective of him despite his warrior abilities. A staunch traditionalist who is as formidable with her Sonic Spear as she is with her tongue, Okoye finds herself torn between her allegiance to her country and her king when T'Challa begins to challenge ancient Wakandan traditions and rules. Despite her position and her serious attitude when her duties are concerned, she shares a relaxed, friendly relationship with T'Challa, quick to make jokes at his expense, especially when Nakia is concerned, and was on the verge of tears after seeing him disintegrate.
She is quick to object to Erik Killmonger's challenge as not only due to Killmonger's blatant disrespect of Wakandan traditions, but also because she knows the disastrous potential Killmonger holds to the nation and to the world. Due to her utmost respect for traditions, however, she is unable to prevent Killmonger, who has a legitimate right to claim the throne, from challenging T'Challa. As the general of the Dora Milaje, Okoye is shown to be proud of her baldness. She was visibly displeased by having to wear a wig and was quick to throw it away.
When Killmonger succeeds in taking the throne, Okoye was torn between her personal loyalty to T'Challa, and her duty as the general of the Dora Milaje, which is essentially the king's royal guard. She nonetheless decides to stay and serve Killmonger, albeit reluctantly. When T'Challa came back alive and ready to continue the unfinished challenge, she is quick to side with him, and turn on Killmonger with the Dora Milaje almost immediately when the contested king refuses to adhere to the very tradition that made him king to the letter.
Okoye's immense bravery and loyalty to her country proves instrumental in stopping a full-blown civil war from happening, by standing in front of W'Kabi on a charging White Rhinoceros to prevent them from tackling M'Baku, halting his rampage from exacerbating the situation by appealing to his loyalty to Wakanda, resulting in the Border Tribe laying down their arms and allowing T'Challa and N'Jadaka to finish their duel one-on-one. Her loyalty to Wakanda outstrips her love for W'Kabi, as she told her husband she would not hesitate to kill him for Wakanda, although she did look visibly distraught and did not kill him but offered him a chance to surrender, implying she still had enough love for him to give him a chance to realize how much he had fallen.
Despite her being able to see T'Challa's viewpoint and arguments regarding the issue of breaking Wakanda's isolationism, it is yet to be seen if she turns personally supportive of the king's measures to reveal what Wakanda truly is to the world. She was even willing to let Everett Ross die to conceal Wakanda's true nature from the rest of the world. However, she does seem to have a fondness for some United States of America culture, as she was hoping to have a Starbucks in Wakanda after it was revealed to the world as well as having Wakandians participate in the Olympics.
Powers
•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.
Abilities
―Nakia to Okoye •Master Martial Artist: As the former General of the Dora Milaje, Okoye is an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, having trained extensively and immensely proficient in various forms of combat, marking her one of the greatest martial artists in Wakanda, only behind T'Challa. Okoye prefers to battle with her Vibranium Spear, which she was able to almost effortlessly incapacitate multiple foes at once during the casino fight. During the Battle of Mount Bashenga, Okoye managed to pin down Erik Killmonger alongside the other Doras and defeat many Border Tribe warriors without sustaining any injury. She has also proven to be capable of defeating many Outriders and competing against Proxima Midnight with aid from Black Widow, holding her off long enough for Wanda Maximoff to kill her, and during the Battle of Wakanda, surviving with no injuries, only being no match for Thanos himself, who easily flung her away. She went head-to-head with the very powerful Talokanil, Attuma. He respected her after their battle and called her by "warrior" during their rematches. ―Okoye to T'Challa •Spear Mastery: 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. After 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. •Expert Pilot: Okoye piloted the aircraft that brought T'Challa to Nakia then back to Wakanda. ―Everett Ross and Okoye •Multilingualism: Okoye is fluent in her native Xhosa, as well as English, French, Yucatec Maya, and Korean, as she was able to understand the exchange between Nakia and Sophia.
Weapons
•Vibranium Spear: 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. •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.

•Shara London was a stand-in for Danai Gurira in the role of Okoye.
•Danai Gurira said that "She can be serious, but she also has an unexpected sense of humor. She has a heart, but for her country and for her people. She's not a person who doesn't connect to human beings as a result of what she does."
•The strip of beadwork on the abdomen part of Okoye's Dora Milaje armor was inspired by a table runner from senior visual development illustrator Anthony Francisco's aunt's home while the rings on the tassels at the side of her uniform were meant to be good luck charms.
