Black Panther Catch Up

The Black Panther (T'Challa) is a fictional character from the Marvel Comics universe who is notable as one of the first modern black superheroes.

The Black Panther is the ceremonial title given to the chief of the Panther Tribe of the (mythical) African nation of Wakanda. In addition to ruling the country, he is also chief of its various tribes (who are collectively referred to as the Wakandas). The Panther uniform is a symbol of office for the 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. The Black Panther also has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, advanced Wakandan technological and military hardware, as well as the support of his nation's wide array of scientists, warriors, and mystics.
