Agent Olga Pachinko (Russian: Ольга Пачинко) is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and a member of the Deke Squad.
Biography[]
Member of the Deke Squad[]
Pachinko was recruited by Deke Shaw when he was stranded in 1982. She became a member of his rock band, playing guitar during the band's performances, and was noticed for her physical strength which enabled her to beat many men in arm wrestling contests. Secretly, she was also recruited by Shaw as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent serving as a demolition expert, and was based in the Lighthouse.[2]
Fighting the Sibyl-Bots[]
- "Cursed machines will not lick defeat unless we slay head robot."
- ―Olga Pachinko[src]
In 1983, Pachinko met Alphonso Mackenzie, the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. about whom Deke Shaw had told his squad many stories. In order to impress Mackenzie, Pachinko participated in a training session designed by Shaw, the "Gauntlet", during which she surprised her teammates by using real explosives. However, the demonstration did not go as planned, and Pachinko listened as Mackenzie heavily criticized the Deke Squad for their lack of skills, which left Shaw heartbroken.
Pachinko later had a real opportunity to demonstrate her skills when Sibyl-Bots infiltrated the Lighthouse, one of them killing Tawni in front of Pachinko. Pachinko went to fight against the robot with her knife, but she was defeated and nearly killed before the Sibyl-Bot was stopped and destroyed by Mackenzie and Roxy Glass. Pachinko, while wounded, accepted Mackenzie as her leader and expressed her determination in continuing the fight.
Therefore, when S.H.I.E.L.D. was able to find another Sibyl-Bot, Pachinko helped destroy it by placing a bomb behind it, waiting for Tommy and Ronnie Chang to force it to move back onto the bomb, which was then detonated by Shaw, destroying the robot. Another Sibyl-Bot, directly controlled by Sibyl, then showed itself, and Pachinko approached it with her knife, but she was shot and wounded in the stomach by a laser beam fired by the robot.
Pachinko, who was taken to safety by Mackenzie and Shaw, survived her wounds and later celebrated the Deke Squad's victory over the Sibyl-Bots, professing her deep affection to Glass. Later, Pachinko was proudly introduced to fellow S.H.I.E.L.D. agents Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Melinda May, who had come to the Lighthouse to reunite with Mackenzie and Phil Coulson.[2]
