Origin and Background: (Wakandan) T'Challa is the son of T'Chaka, king of the African nation of Wakanda. When his father was slain by Ulysses Klaw, a lawless American ivory hunter who sought to possess Wakanda's Vibranium mine, the young T'Challa swore vengeance. The young boy succeeded in thwarting Klaw's raid.         He was then sent off to be educated at the finest schools in Europe and America. T'Challa returned to his homeland, bearing a degree in Physics, to assume the mantle of leadership. He was given two tests: to triumph against six of Wakanda's greatest warriors in unarmed combat, and obtain the secret heart-shaped herb that grants great physical strength and heightened senses. T'Challa passed the tests and donned the ceremonial garb of the Black Panther, the totem of the Wakandan people.         As the Black Panther, T'Challa has both protected his land from outside invaders and led his small nation into greater industrialization and wealth. After meeting Captain America, the Panther was offered membership in the Avengers. Taking a leave of absence from his royal duties, he served with the Avengers for a lengthy interval, acquainting himself with American methods of crimefighting. Inevitably, he resumed the active kingship of the Wakandas and returned to his native land where he has ruled ever since.         Note: Origin and Background text is from "The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #2" (Deluxe Edition) and is used without permission.
