Black Panther

"Say hello to T'Challa. Also known as Black Panther. T'Challa, or the Black Panther is the King of Wakanda... and yet, a superhero. Now this place won't be watching from the shadows anymore. They cannot. They must not. They will work to be an example of how we, as brothers and sisters on this earth, should treat each other. Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. They all know the truth: more connects them than separates them. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. They must find a way to look after one another, as if they were one single tribe. Now my village would do the same as what they would do, including me."

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Fall of Wakanda

T'Challa is the current monarch of the African nation of Wakanda. As the Wakandan monarch, he is also the current holder of the Black Panther mantle. After his father was killed in a bombing attack orchestrated by Helmut Zemo, the new monarch set out to kill the Winter Soldier, whom was widely believed to be responsible for the attack. After being drawn into the Avengers Civil War and siding with Iron Man, T'Challa learned the truth about Zemo's deception and decided to help the Winter Soldier by granting him asylum in Wakanda and also help him get a cure for his mental programming.
