There's Teri O'Barnes, mutant tracker who once upon a time, tracked Wolverine for the Weapon X folk who introduced him to a certain subject called adamantium. So she knows of what she speaks. And we have seen mention of super soldier creators Primewarrior elsewhere.

A Wakandan herb that brings the dead back to the world of the living, maybe not in the way anyone would expect or even want…
