In the heart of Africa lies an isolationist nation shrouded in mystery. Wakanda has never been conquered or invaded; it has massive untapped natural resources and technology beyond any known in the rest of the world, owing to its uniquely precious metal, Vibranium. What is more, Wakanda is led by the Black Panther, a formidable warrior with royal blood.
The leadership role is passed down in the royal family, but once a year, anyone can challenge the king and assume the throne. This is how T’Challa becomes the Black Panther. T’Chaka, his father, was the Black Panther before him, but he met a tragic end at the hands of Klaw, a villainous scientist intent on plundering Wakanda’s Vibranium. N’Jobu, T’Chaka’s brother, took the mantle then, becoming the Black Panther and ruling until he was defeated by T’Challa.
After killing T’Chaka and almost dying at the hands of little T’Challa, Klaw was rescued by the Dutch government and experimented on. Now he is looking to finish the job and eliminate the Wakandan royal family. Together with Rhino, Radioactive Man, Black Knight, Cannibal, Batroc the Leaper, and the forces of neighboring Niganda, Klaw organizes an attack on the nation-state.
Wakanda’s sophisticated defense system kicks into action, but the situation calls for a hands-on response from both T’Challa and N’Jobu.
Through strong leadership, sheer determination, and reliance on his loyal family, the Black Panther destroys the threat and brings peace back to Wakanda.
