“What do you do when there is an evil you cannot defeat by just means? Do you stain your hands with evil to destroy evil? Or do you remain steadfastly just and righteous even if it means surrendering to evil?”

Superhero Identity:


   Black Panther


                                         


Gender:


  Male. Obviously


Appearance:


T'challa is somewhat tall (6'1") man of African descent. He is characterized by his unusual vertical cat-like pupils and impressive physique, not unlike the animal his tribal clan are named for. T'challa's overall physicality is lean but solid with definition similar that of someone who regularly engages in rigorous exercise.


As the Black Panther, T'challa appears in a formal vibranium weaved suit of sorts bearing resemblance to the animal he's named after. The grain of his suit appears to have a kente pattern-like design. A signifying touch of Wakandan-African pride.


His suit is invariably black, with silver, sometimes gold outer trimming. His overall appearance is meant to convey the presence of a sleek but intimidating looking predator. 


Personality:


T'challa's personality is a bit harder to define than say someone like Superman or Carnage, who represents absolute ends of the moral spectrum. There's three dominant sides of T'challa's personality. The scholar, the warrior, and the ruler. To understand T'challa, you have to understand what is Wakanda.Wakanda is an isolated African nation. This small African country has the largest deposits of Wakandan Vibranium in the world known as the Great Mound.


The Wakandan royal line began with Bashenga, an ancient Wakandan. Bashenga was supposedly the first king of unified Wakanda, and the first Black Panther some 10,000 years ago.In the distant past, a massive meteorite comprised of the sound-absorbing mineral vibranium crashed in Wakanda, and was unearthed a generation before the events of the present-day.


T'Challa is the son of T'Chaka, who was the Black Panther before him. Knowing that others would attempt to manipulate and dominate Wakanda for this rare and valuable resource, T'Chaka concealed his country from the outside world. He would sell off minute amounts of the valuable vibranium while surreptitiously sending the country's best scholars to study abroad, consequently turning Wakanda into one of the world's most technologically advanced nations.


T'challa is heir to the world's greatest kingdom essentially, he was raised with the idea that he'd have to earn his position on the throne. Even among Wakandans, there are always usurpers and opportunists, looking to establish their claim. T'challa may not yet be king, but he understands the weight of the crown. T'challa is both wise like a teacher, and brutal like a conqueror. He exhibits shrewdness like a politician and tactfulness like a diplomat. He's a man who speaks softly, but also carries a big stick. He has to be many things for many people.

Backstory: 


T'Challa is heir to the centuries-old ruling dynasty of the African kingdom Wakanda, and Vice-leader of its Panther Clan. A sect of dutiful warriors entrusted with overseeing Wakanda's future. As next-in-line in throne, T'challa will someday take his place as ruler to one of the most technologically advanced nations on earth. For the most part, I'd like to keep the origin story pretty consistent with what we've seen in various accounts in the comics, though with some key changes. Events like his birth mother's passing is still acknowledged in-universe, Wakanda hasn't been invaded. His father is still alive and is presently presiding as king. There is no hotel bombing ruse or anything like that.


 I'd like to take the character in a different direction then the character we saw in Civil War. Primarily, this character has a different set of circumstances and doesn't feel beholden to the burden of rulership. This version of T'challa is more of a consummate playboy and philosophy. This version of the character is a lot more relaxed in temperament if not playful. He's college-aged and doesn't appear to have any other expectations other than having a good time abroad. He doesn't take his princely duties all too seriously. To put things into perspective, he'd rather play adventurer than be ruler. He's worldly, streetsmart and a dreamer of sorts.


 He's sort of flippant, self-satisfied might be a good way to describe him. He's no joke though, he's very much as capable as any other version of the character we've seen. He only lacks a passion for royal affairs.


Quest line(s): To learn of the king's intentions for enrolling him into Avengers Academy.
