An authoritarian leader, M'Butu was violent with his subjects and proceeded to barbaric actions, such as purges against doctors.[1]

After the fall of the segregating Genosha, he welcomed the unethical geneticist Erich Paine, and let him free to perform his monstrous experiments in exchange of a massive bribe. Paine's facilities was among the grief advanced by Wakanda against M'Butu's rule.[2]

Beating up his General

Invasion of Wakanda[]

M'Butu was approached by Klaw, who proposed him to join their forces in order to annex Wakanda to Niganda, offering him vast funds he invest part of to built a giant statue of himself over the capitol. As his General wasn't receptive to his command, criticized his actions and disliked taking orders from Klaw's men, M'Butu beat him up.[1]

During the attack, T'Challa contacted M'Butu, who revealed him that Klaw was behind the invasion. The Black Panther promised to take M'Butu's rule down, having hoped that the Nigandan people would do it before, and that he had now a reason to make Wakanda intervene.[3]

Flying to Niganda with the intention of killing M'Butu, T'Challa chased and beat him up, stopping only when Klaw contacted from Ramonda's apartment in Wakanda.[4]

He was removed from his post by Wakanda, who took action against Paine's facility.[2] His current whereabouts are unknown.
