The Hatut Zeraze, meaning Dogs of War in the Wakandan language,[3] are a tribe who act as Wakanda's secret police, taking responsibility for the imprisonment, torture and extermination of Wakanda's enemies both domestically and globally.

History

Origins[]

Much of the Hatut Zeraze's espionage equipment was first developed by the renegade Hyena Clan, who developed it to get revenge on King Benhazin for the perceived slights upon them by the Panther Tribe.[4]

T'Challa's early rule[]

After the assassination of the Black Panther T'Chaka at the Bilderberg Conference, the Wakandan Security Forces were sent there to hunt for the band of mercenaries responsible, who had in truth been hired by the other Conference members and led by Klaw.[5] When T'Chaka's son T'Challa ascended to the throne, he banished them for their brutal methods, though they continued to act in the White Wolf's patriotic interests in exile.[citation needed]

Detaining Invaders[]

After Klaw's attempted invasion of Wakanda, Rhino and Black Knight were kept in custody of the Wakandan Security Forces, and extradition demands from the United States of America and the Vatican were denied.[6]

Wakandan/Atlantean War[]

The Hatut Zeraze were used by Shuri as a strike force to assault Atlantis, but both sides were decimated by an alien invasion.[7] They were used many times throughout the Wakandan/Atlantean War,[citation needed] as well as during the events of Infinity.[citation needed] They grew angry with their former king, T'Challa, and when they were given the chance, they accused him of being a coward. It was because of their accusations that Shuri made the decision to banish T'Challa from Wakanda.[8] Some Hatut Zeraze were made into cyborgs and sent to kill Namor; however, the sender is unknown. If it wasn't for the Superior Spider-Man intervening, they would have succeeded in assassinating Namor.[9]

Empyre[]

During the Cotati Empyre invasion, White Wolf and the Hatut Zeraze engaged the Cotati archers south of Khartoum.[3]

Paraphernalia

Equipment

The Hatut Zeraze employ the following standard equipment:

  • Vibranium Microweave Mesh: A Hatut Zeraze uniform incorporates a vibranium microweave mesh that robs incoming objects of their momentum. Bullets do not ricochet off but simply fall to the ground when they come in contact with the weave. Likewise, a Hatut Zeraze cannot be stabbed; however, the costume (and the Zeraze) can be cut if the attacker slashes along the uniform's grain.
  • Cloaking Technology: A Hatut Zeraze's uniform is equipped with advanced cloaking technology which can render the user invisible.
  • Energy-Dampening Boots: Energy regulators create varying fields from the Vibranium in the molded soles of a Hatut Zeraze's boots, enabling him to survive a fall of several stories and land like a cat. Given enough momentum, a Hatut Zeraze can also run on walls or skim across water. The field can be also used offensively to shatter or weaken objects.
