Ok... Zenzi has me curious. I feel like there is more to her. Her power is too weak in the grand scheme of things to be this big bad super villain to fight at the end.
We have seen and been told that she not only "reveals" peoples emotions from the 'heart"... but she also FEELS it. It was mentioned in issue #1 that "The auras never truly pass. The agony was in me. I felt it all." And when the suicide bombers blew sh*t up, we saw her "awaken" or feel it despite being now where near there.
We also know she has some tragic ish backstory involving Killmonger... wasn't she about to be executed before her powers kicked in?
In issue #1... she also bows at Tetu's feet. He is the one in charge.
For some odd reason she is being put into the WoW book and given a backstory. So much so she is on the cover. Technically she was asleep during the suicide bombing that that even gives her a pass there if you really wanted to squint at it.
So.... what if she turns on Tetu and Stane towards the end. What if she "feels" what's in Tetu's heart and sees nothing but a Tyrant? It would fit the narrative (no one man) for her to turn on the one that she acts like a subordinate too.
In addition to, what if she feels T'challa's love for his country and his people towards the end? So much so that it changes her allegiances because it is the direct opposite of what she felt in Tetu and Stanes heart? Even better, what if she could use her powers so that others (possible a city full of civilians) could feel that love and devotion as well? It would be one way to explain the civilian populations 180* turn back to trusting and adoring the Royal family again.
