Hey Gang!

  I am so excited about this! Episode 53 of Heroes and Coffee Podcast is live, AND it is the first episode that has my segment Superheroes 101! This episode is all about Black Panther and I am so flipping excited to show you it! I wrote up a small speech on Black Panther that I'll include here so give it a read and then listen to the rest of the podcast.

  Appearing in 1966, Black Panther was Marvel's first black superhero and the protector of the magical land of Wakanda. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, he has worked with The Fantastic Four, Avengers, Defenders and the Ultimates. T'Challa is Kind of Wakanda, and as such is protected by the Dora Milaje' an all female bodyguard team, made up of women from every tribe in Wakanda. They are elite in hand to hand combat and after the war with Doom, some magical ability.
 In the distant past, a meteor of Vibranium crashed into Wakanda, and the Black Panther protects it. The Panther title is Royalty passed to those that complete the trials. Unlike the film Civil War, T'Chaka, his father is killed by Ulysses Klaw and is succeeded by his younger brother Syan until T'Challa is old enough to complete the trials. Around this time, he meets and falls in love with the street urchin and thief Ororo, who would later become Storm. They continue to have off and on relationships through various comic runs and creative teams.

 T'Challa defeats, disbands and exiles the Hatut Zeraze (Wakanda's Secret Police). He invited the Fantastic 4 to Wakanda, only to defeat them individually to test his strength. He even replaced DareDevil as protector of Hell's Kitchen for a short while. Black Panther married Storm after their encounter with Klaw and Deathlock armies in a coup to steal Vibranium from Wakandans. After that he defeats Killmonger with the help of Pulsar Monica Rambou. Later he is recruited by Prince Namor for the Cabal, a group of Super Villains. After he refuses he is attacked by Doom and during this battle, T'Challa is left comatose and Shuri his half sister takes up the Black Panther Mantle.

 T'Challa possesses various African martial Arts and acrobatic skill. He is considered one of the
8 smartest people on the planed. He is also a brilliant inventor. You can find Black Panther in the following Titles: The Ultimates 2 by Ewing and Foreman. Black Panther by Coates, Stelfreeze and Martin, Black Panther, World of Wakanda by Coates and Richardson and his own film slated for release in 2018 starring Chadwick Boseman.
