Nigerian Marvel Superhero: Oya by Nobody: 4:18pm On Aug 21, 2016
Name: Idie Okonkwo
Alias: Oya
Citizenship: Nigerian
State of Birth: Delta
Gender: Female
Eyes: Blue (right eye), Orange(left eye)
First Appearance: Uncanny X-MEN #528

ORIGIN:
Idie (Pronounced "Ih-Dyay" ) was a fourteen year-old girl living with her family in Delta State of Nigeria when her mutant powers manifested. She was located by the X-Men using Cerebra. With the advent of her mutant abilities, Idie accidentally burned down her village and killed her family. A paramilitary group that tracked down Idie attempted to murder her, but the arrival of Hope Summers and Storm prevented the troops from harming her.

POWERS AND ABILITIES:
Thermokinesis: Idie has the ability to alter temperatures around her. However, she cannot simply create heat and cold; she can only rechannel temperature, thus, she needs presence of heat to generate cold, and vice versa. These temperature manipulation powers results in:
Pyrokinesis: Idie is capable of generating flames from thin air, not requiring the consumption of oxygen or combustible objects to maintain the flames.
Cryokinesis: Idie is able to reduce the kinetic energy of atoms and thus reduce temperature, often used to generate ice.
She needs fire to make ice and she needs ice to make fire.

NOTE:
•Idie's name is pronounced "Ih-Dyay" and not "Eye-Dee" as is commonly thought.
•Idie's last name is likely a reference to the protagonist of Things Fall Apart Okonkwo.
•Idie's field name is labeled after Yorùbá deity Oya (Pronounced "Aw-Yah" ) who is the Òrìshà of the wind and all standing water bodies.
Although a pipe dream, wouldn't it be cool of she got her own live action movie?
