| “ | You were wrong! All of you were wrong! To turn your backs on the rest of the world! We let the fear of discovery stop us from doing what is right. No more! I cannot stay here with you.

| ~ T'Challa to his ancestors |
| “ | My name is King T'Challa, son of King T'Chaka. I am the sovereign ruler of the nation of Wakanda. For the first time in our history we will be sharing our knowledge and resources with the outside world. Wakanda will no longer watch from the shadows. We cannot, we must not. We 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 the vision threaten our very existence. We all know the truth, more connects than separates us. But in times of crisis, the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another, as if we were one single tribe. | „ |

Summary
T'Challa, also known by the moniker of Black Panther, is the protector of the nation of Wakanda. Following the untimely death of his father T'Chaka, he inherited his father's position as king. In his rush to avenge his father, he became involved in the internal conflict among the Avengers, siding with Iron Man. However, upon seeing how vengeance drove Helmut Zemo's actions and subsequently Iron Man's as well, he saw the error of his judgement and became an ally to Captain America.
After his coronation, T'Challa began hunting down Ulysses Klaue, only to be confronted by his cousin Erik Killmonger, who sought the throne for himself. After a lengthy campaign, T'Challa defeated Killmonger and decided to introduce Wakandan technology to the United Nations.
