About this listen
In Episode 119 of CEREBRO, Connor and Marvel writer Murewa Ayodele (Storm, I Am Iron Man) heat things up with the inimitable Idie Okonkwo! Created by Matt Fraction, Kieron Gillen, and Whilce Portacio for the series Generation Hope, Idie — best known by the codename Oya — was one of the first post-Decimation mutants to manifest following the messianic arrival of Hope Summers. A devout Catholic teenager from rural Nigeria, Idie was hunted as a witch when her new powers over fire and ice catalyzed to disastrous effect. Her resulting self-loathing made her an unlikely superheroine, but in the 15 years since her debut she has played a critical thematic role in the X-Men franchise. After a memorable role in Victor LaValle's work during the First Krakoan Age, Idie has taken the new codename Temper as a regular team member in writer Jed McKay's current run on X-Men.
The CEREBRO character file on Oya/Temper begins at 49:41.
(Content Advisory: Idie's story includes racism, religious trauma, and the legacy of colonialism in Africa.)
