Zawadi is a fictional character from Marvel Comics who first appeared in "Marvel Universe" #4. She was a member of the Monster Hunters.

Fictional character biography

Not much is known about the past of the woman known as Zawadi. She was born in Wakanda and her name means "Precious Gift." When she was young she ate of the Heart-Shaped Herbs grown in the hidden valleys of Wakanda and eaten by members of the Panther Cult. This in turn granted her enhanced strength, agility, and endurance. [Marvel: The Lost Generation #2 (January 2001)]

In the late 1940s or early 1950s, Zawadi joins the Monster Hunters after helping Ulysses Bloodstone defeat a "T. rex". The team goes on many adventures including stopping the Deviant Kro and his army of monsters from taking over the world and fighting a Skrull created monster. [Marvel Universe #4-7 (September-December 1998) & Marvel: The Lost Generation #2 (January 2001)]

After the team disbands sometime later, Zawadi simply disappears and ceases to contact anyone. [Marvel Monsters: From The Files Of Ulysses Bloodstone And The Monster Hunters (2005)]

Powers and abilities

Zawadi is a skilled warrior and huntress. She is almost always seen with a knife strapped to her right leg, although she has been known to use a spear. Due to ingestion of the Heart-Shaped Herb she has superhumanly acute senses (especially eyesight, night vision, and sense of smell) and presumably strength, speed, stamina and agility increased to the peak of human development much like the Black Panther or Erik Killmonger. Whether her abilities have been enhanced to the same degree is unknown.
