Black Panther[src]

History

T'Challa became the king of the African and technologically-advanced nation Wakanda after his father was killed over the rare metal Vibranium. Although he keeps his home country's interest first and foremost, the Black Panther had allied with the United States numerous times, even becoming a member of the superhero team the Avengers.
