Black Panther, a very special title. Read
Its origin is related to the religion of Wakanda.
In Wakanda, there are five objects of faith, namely the Black Panther Goddess, the White Gorilla God, the Crocodile God, the Lion God and the Hyena God. What is very interesting is that three of the gods are Egyptian gods. They are the Black Panther Goddess Bast, the Lion God Mahes, the son of the Black Panther Goddess, and the Crocodile God Sobek, while the White Gorilla God and the Hyena God are gods from other places.
Legend has it that a long time ago, a star fell from the sky over Wakanda. When the star fell, it changed the landscape, and cosmic radiation also turned many local creatures into monsters. These monsters were extremely violent and clashed with local humans.
Humans were almost extinct, and the desperate humans desperately prayed for the help of the gods. Finally, five gods responded to their prayers, descended to the earth, helped humans defeat those monsters, and restored peace to the ancient land of Wakanda.
After that, the five gods entered the Pantheon of Wakanda. People are also divided into many tribes because of the gods they worship. Today, Wakanda has 18 tribes, of which five are the main tribes, namely the Black Panther Tribe that worships the Black Panther Goddess, which is also the main tribe of Wakanda, and the throne has been passed down in this tribe.
The river tribe that worships the crocodile god Sobek lives by the water, presents themselves as fishermen and farmers, guards the longest river in Wakanda (Amas River), and is the most loyal ally of the Black Panther Tribe.
The frontier tribe that worships the hyena god settles on the border of Wakanda, presents themselves as ordinary herdsmen, but they are actually well-trained soldiers. It constitutes the first line of defense to guard Wakanda. They raise rhinos and hyenas wandering on the border. They rely on hyenas to find enemies and crush them with rhinos wearing vibranium plate armor!
The Mountain Mining Tribe worships Mahesh, the Lion God. Legend has it that the Lion God brought light and fire to the Wakandans and taught them various crafts. Therefore, the Mountain Mining Tribe is in charge of the mining and manufacturing of various mineral metals including vibranium in Wakanda. They are the physical strength of the Kingdom of Wakanda. The physical fitness of the men in this tribe is as strong as that of lions!
Finally, there is the Jabari Tribe (Ape Tribe), an outlier among the five tribes. They worship the most violent white gorilla god Haruman. The Jabari Tribe settled above the snow line of the Jabari Mountains. It is an autonomous tribe in Wakanda. They often wear fur and live alone between the high mountains and snowy ridges. They are extremely fanatical about the worship of the White Gorilla God, but the problem is that the teachings of the White Gorilla God are too barbaric, which has led to the Black Panther Tribe suppressing the belief in the White Gorilla God for a long time. This has caused the Jabari Tribe to be extremely dissatisfied, so they directly broke away from the rule of the Wakanda royal family and became an autonomous tribe.
Although the Jabari tribe has the fewest people and vassals among the five tribes, it has the strongest fighting power because of its worship of the white gorilla god. This also leads to their most special status.
People fear and even revere this tribe.
In ancient times, humans defeated monsters, but with the development of the five tribes, disputes between them increased and war was inevitable.
At that time, Bashengga, a warrior of the Black Panther tribe, hesitated and couldn't bear to see humans attack each other and bleed, so Bashengga prayed to the Panther Goddess hoping to stop all this. His heart moved the Black Panther Goddess Bast, who guided Bashengga to find the heart-shaped grass and eat the heart-shaped grass. Bashengga was able to establish a spiritual connection with the Black Panther God Bast. Bashengga was protected by the Black Panther Goddess, and he therefore gained extremely keen five senses, superhuman strength, speed, endurance, reaction, and resistance to magic.
Bashengga became the first "Black Panther" in history, preventing the crisis, and then he further unified all the tribes to form a country called "Wakanda".
Since then, Black Panther has become the leader of the country of Wakanda, which combines military, political and religious functions, although it is usually hereditary. However, outsiders can also seize the status and title from the current king through challenges, and they must convince the 18 tribes under Wakanda. Only by meeting the above two conditions can they become the new king.
Nick Fury came to T'Challa because he saw the power of Black Panther.
Nick Fury did not give up the Avengers plan. He has been secretly looking for a suitable candidate to join the Avengers.
Aquaman was the first, and the humanoid shark caught by Aquaman and Phil was the second.
Shark King Nanasse.
This is an extremely stupid guy. He ate people in Australia and Atlantis not for any evil purpose, but simply because he was hungry. Aquaman once wanted to kill this fat shark boy.
But since he learned the real thoughts of the Shark King, Arthur was speechless about this guy.
Nanasse's view of humans is very simple, just a kind of weak food. In his mind, humans are no different from the fish he eats.
So Nick Fury took advantage of this and easily subdued this silly shark boy.
The third one... is T'Challa in front of us.
He sees T'Challa as a replacement for Tony Stark and Captain America. First of all, T'Challa has undergone complete Black Panther training and is an excellent hunter and good at tracking. He is also a Ph.D. in physics and an excellent inventor and scientist who graduated from Oxford University. He is also a tactician and military strategist. Black Panther himself also has a battle suit made of vibranium, equipped with stealth technology, which can evenly absorb kinetic energy, making him invulnerable. The soles of his boots have vibranium additional pads that can adjust different vibration frequencies, allowing him to run silently on the side of a building or walk on the water. It can also generate energy daggers for cutting and long-range attacks.
He is simply a rare good candidate, not to mention that he has the support of an entire country behind him, and has stronger scientific research power and various resources than Tony Stark. (Nick Fury thinks this is true)
Of course, there is another reason, that is, T'Challa will not be a member of any force, and Nick Fury can be completely assured.
…
"Your Highness, do we really want to cooperate with him? To be honest, I don't like his eyes. The way he looks at us is not like looking at friends or fellow tribesmen, but full of calculations and exploitation."
After Nick Fury left, the royal guard Ayu looked at his prince and expressed his thoughts.
As mentioned earlier, Okoye is the captain of the Royal Guard and has the power to advise the king. In fact, the Royal Guard has this power. Every king of Wakanda is protected by a group of all-female guards who are good at using various weapons, the Dora Milaje, whose members are all women selected from various tribes in Wakanda.
Don't look at them as women, but in fact, each of them is the best warrior. Because according to the tradition of Wakanda, these guards may also become princesses, so to a certain extent, these women are selected as members of the guard not only to be loyal to the king, but also to compete for marriages among various tribes to consolidate their political positions. So each one must be the best, because they are the candidates for the next generation of Black Panthers, and they will not be selected if they are not good enough in any aspect.
T'Chaka, who was killed in the explosion, is actually an open-minded person. After marrying the queen, he originally wanted to abolish the guards. It is undoubtedly a waste to keep these young and beautiful girls around. But the conservatives had a lot of opinions about this, so T'Chaka had to withdraw the proposal and choose to keep the guards, but he regarded these guards as daughters rather than candidates for his wife.
Every Dora guard is equivalent to growing up with T'Challa, so when facing T'Challa, they will not hide their opinions.
"We can't ask everyone to be as kind and amiable as our relatives and friends. The outside world is full of conspiracies and calculations. This is also the reason why my father is unwilling to open Wakanda."
T'Challa is a young man, and he has also received a complete Westernized education, so his mind is full of ideas to fight for more rights and interests for his black compatriots, but at the same time he can understand why his father and elders are unwilling to disclose the secrets of Wakanda.
Vibranium is great, but it can also be a source of trouble.
Okoye nodded with relief. Okoye is a conservative. She doesn't trust people from outside and thinks that it is best for Wakanda to maintain the status quo. But at the same time, she is not pedantic. She knows very well that they can't avenge their king by themselves, so she is not stingy with some means to achieve their goals.
Wakanda is not as closed as imagined. Wakanda not only has rare metals, high-tech weapons and advanced education, but also has its own intelligence agency PRIDE. This intelligence agency is more powerful than the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States, but slightly inferior to S.H.I.E.L.D., at least that's what Okoye thinks.
She knew that this matter was beyond their ability as soon as she saw the murderer. In this case, it is natural to seek cooperation and help.
But this does not mean that she will let down her guard.
When she saw that T'Challa could look at this matter soberly, she was certainly relieved.
...
Tony carefully stared at the video footage sent by Jarvis from cameras in various corners of the city, trying to find the trace of Bucky Barnes.
He couldn't wait any longer.
But at this moment, someone he didn't expect found him.
"Sir, a friend of yours is visiting you." Jarvis suddenly reminded.
"I'm busy!" Tony is now busy looking for Bucky, so he has no time to receive irrelevant people. Except for Kai and Pepper, he basically doesn't see anyone during this period. Including his aunt Peggy. As for friends... He has very few friends. Except for Kai, there is Iron Patriot James Rhodes... and then there is nothing else.
James is following the president and protecting his safety during this period, so he has no time to come to him. Therefore, the people who come to visit him during this period are not important characters.
"I think you have to meet him."
"Huh?" Tony asked.
"Because he is already in the house." As Jarvis spoke, several extremely powerful laser cannons instantly appeared from the roof of the room and locked onto the figure behind Tony. "Sir, I suggest you put your hands up, otherwise I will immediately open fire on you according to the Castle Act!"
The Castle Act is the legal basis for the famous saying "If you dare to enter my private territory without my permission, I will open fire!"
Happy America, shooting every day.
This is the so-called unlimited right of self-defense.
"Oh, are you really going to make it so exaggerated, Tony?" The figure raised his hand, looking very relaxed, as if it was not a machine gun but a camera pointed at him.
"Is it you?" Tony turned his head to look at the person who came, twitched his mouth, and then said helplessly: "You are not my friend. Don't call me Tony... Hannibal."
The person who came was Hannibal, who had met Tony twice.
"You owe me a favor, Tony. It's too ruthless to say that." Hannibal always had a perfect smile, not too much, not too little. People couldn't find any fault with it. But it was also like this that made Tony a little scared of him. Because his manners were too perfect, so perfect that it was unreal. Instead, it made people feel a chill.
Tony helplessly put down the work in his hands.
Hannibal was right, he owed Hannibal a favor. Tony was not afraid of any debt, anyway, he had money. But the debt of favor is different. It may not be repaid even if you have money.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"Help me find someone."
"Huh?" Tony was stunned. He heard Kai mention Hannibal and knew that this guy had two hellhounds. These two dog-like things are the best hunters. Anyone who is targeted by them will never escape their pursuit. "Is there anyone in this world that you can't find?"
"I can find it... but they run too fast." Hannibal was a little helpless when he said this.
Frank gathered Logan, Tank, Victor and Wade sent by Kai some time ago, and together with the surviving members of the X-Team, Beast and Darwin, re-formed a new X-Team to hunt down the Hellfire Club.
Unfortunately, the US government's intelligence agencies have never had any clues about the location of Sebastian Shaw and his gang.
Frank, who couldn't wait, could only ask Kai for help again.
So Kai released the hounds and let them track these guys.
Unexpectedly, there was more than one mutant who could teleport in this group. Although the Red Devil's ability was amazing, he could only teleport with people who had physical contact with him. His ability was simply unsolvable for small-scale transfers. But once it came to large-scale transfers, it was much worse.
The first time, the Tindalos Lords quickly found Sebastian Shaw and ate several mutants. Then Sebastian Shaw ran away.
An Asian female mutant ran away with all of them. According to the FBI's intelligence, the woman's name was Clarice Ferguson, a missing person, and her disappearance case was still listed on the Federal Missing Persons Investigation website. No one knew she was a mutant before. This woman created a portal by distorting space, and could teleport multiple people to the location she designated at a time. She could also teleport over long distances. Last time, she took the people of the Hellfire Club across half the globe and ran to the other side of the earth.
Then the Tindalos Lords' several hunts were all escaped by them. Moreover, they are becoming more and more cunning. They can even predict the arrival of Lord Tindalos in advance and run away in advance. Later, the hounds have no way to deal with them.
This makes Kai helpless. After thinking about it, he can only seek help from Tony.
I hope his strongest brain can come up with a solution.
