While a team of super-powered mercenaries prepares their assault on Wakanda, a contest is underway in that warrior kingdom: Who will be the next Black Panther?
Many years ago, Klaw killed the reigning Black Panther ? but not without a price. Learn how he did it.... as he readies himself for the death of T'challa!
Since his introduction to the Marvel universe, the Black Panther has fought alongside just about every major hero, both on his own and as a member of the Avengers. He has also fought for justice in several of his own series and miniseries, including a 1988 multi-issue story in Marvel Comics Presents, in which he ventured into an apartheid-era South Africa to find his mother... a rather dangerous time and place for a black man in a mask to be.
Indeed, Black Panther's adventures have often involved racial tensions, ecological issues, and conflicts between ancient cultures and Western nations. And given his identity as a king and an African, this is understandable. But the important thing to note is that, unlike the racist comic characters that came before him, he is not defined solely by his skin color or nationality; he is a product of the belief that every person should be judged by his or her words and actions, and not by the color of their skin.
The Black Panther is the ceremonial title given to the chief of the Panther Tribe of the African nation of Wakanda. In addition to ruling the country, he is also chief of its various tribes (collectively referred to as the Wakandas). The Panther uniform is a symbol of office (head of state) and is used even during diplomatic missions.
The Black Panther is entitled to the use of a heart-shaped herb that grants the person who consumes it enhanced strength, agility, and perception. The present-day bearer of the Black Panther mantle is T'Challa, who has had a lengthy career as a superhero, including a longstanding membership in The Avengers, alongside heroes such as CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN and THOR.
