“I am The King, I am Wakanda!”

Black Panther, T’Challa was the son of T’Chaka, King of Wakanda. He became the Black Panther after beating the previous Black Panther and taking the heart shaped herb to link him to Bast, the Panther God. The herb also enhanced him to become nearly superhuman.

After his sister took over the kingdom of Wakanda T’Challa went to meet Bast who made him into her Black Panther and gave him the title of King of the Dead. Now Black Panther has the knowledge of all Black Panthers before him and has become truly superhuman. WOG Statement from Jonathan Hickman to Confirm T’Challa is now superhuman.
