Ada Wong: The Enigmatic Anti-Heroine
Origins and Early AppearancesAda Wong, a prominent character in the "Resident Evil" video game series by Capcom, first appeared in the background of the original game. Initially conceived as a scientist named Linda for the second game, the developers later transformed her into Ada Wong, linking her to the first installment's plot. In the game, she receives a message from a dying scientist requesting her assistance in exposing the horrors of the mansion from the first game.
Role in "Resident Evil 2"
Making her on-screen debut in "Resident Evil 2," Ada works for unnamed competitors of the Umbrella Corporation. Her agenda revolves around stealing the experimental G-Virus from a laboratory in the zombie-infested Raccoon City. Disguising her intentions as a desperate woman seeking her lost lover, she teams up with rookie cop Leon Kennedy. However, her true motives are eventually revealed, and she faces peril in her efforts to save Leon.
Fate and Redemption
Ada's fate remains ambiguous in "Resident Evil 2," but supplemental materials in subsequent games suggest that she escaped the contaminated city. Her plans and actions are further explored in "Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles" and "Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles." Notably, these games depict her daring escape from Raccoon City by hitching a ride on an Umbrella helicopter.
Involvement in "Resident Evil 4"
In 2005, Ada returns as a major character in "Resident Evil 4." Joining forces with Leon, she embarks on a mission to rescue the U.S. President's daughter. Despite assisting Leon throughout the game, her ulterior motive is to acquire a parasite sample for Albert Wesker. Alongside Jack Krauser and Luis Sera, she retrieves the virus but faces capture and a near-sacrificial fate. Ultimately, she helps Leon defeat Krauser and the cult leader, Osmund Saddler.
Complex Motives in "Resident Evil 6"
"Resident Evil 6" allows players to experience Ada's own campaign, set after the completion of the main storylines. It reveals that she once worked for Derek Simmons, a former national security agent who developed an obsessive desire for her. While pursuing her own agenda, Ada inadvertently becomes involved in the main plot and allies with Leon against Simmons. Her gameplay involves stealth elements and puzzle-solving, reminiscent of earlier "Resident Evil" titles.
Confronting Her Clone
The character of Carla Radames emerges as an important figure in Ada's arc. Created by Simmons as a clone of Ada, Radames believes herself to be the original. Driven by delusions of grandeur, she leads Neo-Umbrella and orchestrates the release of the C-Virus. Upon discovering the truth about her identity, Radames succumbs to madness and attempts to infect the world. Ada faces off against her clone, ultimately vanquishing her and destroying her greatest creation before receiving a new assignment from an enigmatic organization.
Appearance in Film
Ada Wong has also graced the silver screen in the 2012 film "Resident Evil: Retribution." Portrayed as a hostage held by Jill Valentine, she aligns with Alice to battle Jill and Rain. It's worth noting that Alice's character itself draws inspiration from Ada's traits.
