| History-
T'Challa
is the king of the small African kingdom of Wakanda. His parents
were killed by Ulysses Klaw in an attack on Wakanda's Vibranium
mine. The child T'Challa thwarted Klaw's plans to posses the
only known source of the rare metal on the planet. The young
King was sent to be educated in the US and Europe and he gained
a degree in Physics. He returned to his people to be tested
against the greatest warriors the nation had to offer and defeated
them all, thus tested and found worthy, T'Challa took on the
identity of the Black Panther protector of Wakanda, and his
duties as monarch. With his knowledge of science and the worlds
only source of Vibranium to hand, T'Challa led his people towards
industrialisation and bought great wealth to his land. During
a long term trip to America, Black Panther became a full time
member of the Avengers winning the respect and friendship of
many of the American heroes. |
