T'Challa, the Black Panther, is leader of the most advanced nation on Marvel's Earth and sole possessor of Vibranium, which is used in all sorts of super-powered items like Captain America's shield! Of course being the ruler of a nation with that much technology and resources requires a hero-king...the Black Panther! Blessed by Bast and raised to the pinnacle of human perfection, Black Panther protects Wakanda and the rest of the world from evils near and far.
