It’s true! Back in the pages of Captain America #169, Sam got beat up one too many times and decided something had to change. Running around with a super-soldier put him in situations that were too much for a “costumed athlete.”

As Cap had been friends with the Black Panther for some time at that point, Sam had heard stories about Wakanda and its technological wonders. So he asked Steve if he could ask him for some help. T’Challa happily obliged and showed up the next morning to take him to Wakanda.

After spending some time exploring T’Challa’s lab, he and Sam go over some ideas about how to “match and complement” Cap’s abilities.

Word of trouble involving Sam’s girlfriend reaches T’Challa and as he goes to tell Sam, we see what they came up with for the first time!

The two have worked together many times since, sometimes with Cap involved and sometimes not. We’ll cover more about that soon so stick around!
