#1 T’Challa/Black Panther






The Black Panther (T'Challa) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and penciller-co-plotter Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966). He is the first black superhero in mainstream American comics, debuting several years before such early African-American superheroes as Marvel's the Falcon and Luke Cage, and DC Comics' Tyroc, Black Lightning and John Stewart.





dmb1511: From the comics to Ultimate Avengers 2, My anticipation for a live adaption of this character has done nothing but grown. I am however disappointed that only 12 episodes of the live TV show ever aired it had so much potential. I can only hope he is cast in the avengers or is what leads to the sequel. T’Challa is awesome and I enjoyed every minute of my observations of each one of his adaptations, from the pages to the small screen and hopefully the big screen.








bigshow2312: I truthfully adore the inspiration or history behind this character, for the actual Black Panthers played a momentous part in the Black community. To have a character as an allegory for a movement that was eradicated and swept under the rug means a lot, particularly to educated comic book fans. A lot of folks would debate on T’Challa’s nationality and how he’s not necessarily American; however, I argue that this squabble is dense considering that he was based off of an American occurrence. In addition, he is probably the only Black character with such a high rank as one would consider of Captain America.

Black Panther is our #1 Black Superhero!
