Omolola was a member of Wakanda's top secret sleeper agent program, pulled into a conspiracy to overthrow the Wakandan parliament by her fellow agent and lover Jhai.
History
When T'Challa first formulated his sleeper agent program, lovers Omolola and Jhai faked their own deaths in order to join.[1] Despite swearing to absolute secrecy and celibacy as part of the program, however, Omolola and Jhai maintained a dangerous ongoing affair. When the pair met in Santiago, Chile, they were trapped in a "kill box" by Wakandan terrorists, and despite their best efforts at self-defense, Omolola was led to believe Jhai had been killed. She immediately contacted T'Challa to inform him of the attack, and the two visited his body in a nearby funeral home together. Though T'Challa ordered her to stay put, she followed him to Moscow on his mission to retrieve the rest of the agents, and he begrudgingly allowed her to join him.[2]
After visiting Russian, Belgium and German agents, Omolola and T'Challa came to Georgetown, Washington, D.C. to inform agent Kimura of the program's conclusion. Though they managed to protect Kimura and her family from another terrorist attack, they were again ambushed in Rock Creek National Park; emerging victorious from the battle, the surviving terrorists self-destructed, preventing them from being questioned. Omolola subsequently accompanied T'Challa to Arakko, though she did not know the purpose of this trip - contacting another sleeper agent, Nezhno.[3]
Following a direct attack on Princess Shuri's laboratory, T'Challa became suspicious of Omolola as the only surviving sleeper agent, and accused her of being the traitor. Though he threatened to kill her, he was interrupted by the arrival of Akili's Hatut Zeraze, led by Shuri, who had discovered fabricated evidence of her guilt. Omolola was instead arrested and taken before the Wakandan parliament; after some further research, however, it was determined T'Challa himself must be the traitor, and Omolola was released.[4] Omolola joined Shuri in a secret lab in the savanna, assisting T'Challa by contacting the Dora Milaje. Omolola, Shuri and the Dora joined forces with Storm to beat back the rogue Hatut Zeraze threatening T'Challa's life.[5]
Omolola's life seemed to calm down for a time after this, and she was found in Milwaukee, Wisconsin when T'Challa had to deliver the difficult news that Jhai had only faked his death. She then joined T'Challa and Wakandan politician Imani on a direct attack on Jhai's base.[6] When T'Challa ultimately could not bring himself to kill his childhood friend, Omolola stepped in to quickly and painless decapitate the terrorist leader, and then presented the head to her former king.
After a life of violence and secrecy, Omolola found it difficult to think of herself as anything but an assassin. With T'Challa banished from Wakanda, Prime Minister Folasade sought Omolola out, suggesting that she use her skills as part of a new Wakandan black ops unit.[7]Attributes
