History
Okoye's story was identical to that of her Earth-199999 counterpart until Janet Van Dyne was infected by a virus from the Quantum Realm. Janet infected her husband Hank Pym when he tried to take her out of the Quantum Realm, which caused the virus to spread around the world. Okoye left Wakanda in search of T'Challa, later joining the group of survivors who consisted of Bucky Barnes, Peter Parker, Happy Hogan, Hope Van Dyne, Sharon and Kurt.

Human form
Two weeks after the zombie outbreak, they received Banner who had just arrived on Earth and informed him that they had received a message that apparently came from another group of survivors who claimed to be moving towards a cure for the zombie infection and concluded that the signal came from Camp Lehigh so they left to go there. Okoye sent Hope, Banner and Parker to run the train while the others guarded the station although Peter suggested it was a bad idea. Before long, they were intercepted by the zombies, with Hawkeye zombifying Happy while Okoye and Bucky were attacked by Falcon but it was only for a short time, then the survivors gathered on the train and escaped. Once they left the station, Okoye apologized to Spider-Man, acknowledging that he had been right about the risks of splitting the group, although on the trip, the train was attacked by Zombified Captain America, who was able to infect Sharon into a zombie to then be defeated by Bucky and Wasp but the latter was wounded, knowing she had little time left, she adopted a giant form to lead her group through the horde, dying shortly after.
There they were greeted by Vision who showed them that he discovered that the exposure of the Mind Stone cured the zombie infection showing as proof Scott Lang's boss, Okoye suggested using Wakandan technology as its force fields make it the ultimate sanctuary, Bucky went to find a transport but found Black Panther who was injured and took him to the survivors which surprised Okoye as he was being held by Vision to use as food for a zombified Wanda. He tried to attack Vision but were interrupted by Wanda Zombified that caused a riot in the base where he killed Kurt, along with Spider-Man tried to stop Wanda but to no avail, then Vision opened a crack so they can leave the survivors of Wanda, being the last to leave was trapped by the powers of Wanda and recited the battle cry of Wakanda for the last time and then be attracted to Wanda and be killed by her where she would become zombified.[1]
Bruce managed to force Hulk to emerge and confront Wanda, allowing T'Challa, Spider-Man, and Scott to escape the camp. The group headed to Wakanda, but it had already been overrun by zombies and a zombie Thanos with almost all of the Infinity Stones. The fight ended when T'Challa sacrificed himself by throwing himself and Thanos into a vibranium reactor, killing them both. He also caused the destruction of the Infinity Stones and unleashed a wave of power that destroyed everything, only being stopped when Hulk absorbed them and became their vessel.[2]
War against Infinity Hulk[]
In the subsequent five years, Wanda Maximoff regained control of her powers, allowing her to regain consciousness and understand the events in Wakanda and the Hulk's transformation after absorbing the cosmic energies of the Infinity Stones. To gain this power, she appointed Okoye as her lieutenant, granting her the ability to manipulate the minds of other zombies to amass an army strong enough to take on the Infinity Hulk.
The undead army advanced on the North Institute, and Okoye ordered the zombies, along with Abomination, Ghost, Hawkeye, and Captain America, to lay siege to the base. The army was temporarily halted when Melina used the Red Room's technology to control the zombies; however, Okoye overrode her control and killed her. Still, the remaining survivors managed to escape in time.[3] Okoye and his army followed them to New Orleans, but the survivors had gone into the depths of the ocean when they boarded the Raft, so Okoye sent Namor to hunt them down.[4]
Now that her army was strong enough, Wanda went to confront the Infinite Hulk, sending her entire army to harm him, but they were stopped by the survivors and the Masters of the Mystic Arts, who confronted them. When Zombified Thor arrived to confront Hulk, Okoye went to confront Valkyrie to prevent her from intervening in the fight. During the fight, Okoye managed to impale Valkyrie with her spear before Wanda managed to steal the power of the Infinity Stones from Hulk.[5]Attributes
