Black Panther is now in theaters and it's breaking countless box office records. The movie feels like more than just Marvel's latest effort to expand its Cinematic Universe too because the cultural importance of the Ryan Coogler helmed release is massive and given the success it's found, it's clear that T'Challa is going to have a huge impact on the genre and could become the face of this world.

To celebrate the movie's release, we're taking a look at some amazing Black Panther concept art and this batch focuses on King T'Chaka as a youngster when he had the title of Wakanda's Black Panther. 

As well as providing some surprisingly comic book accurate takes (including T'Challa's cloak from the source material) on the character, we get to see a more regal take on the character and some armoured designs similar to what Black Panther wore when he was protecting Hell's Kitchen in Daredevil's absence. So, to check out this artwork, simply click on either one of the buttons below.

I'm happy with the look we ended up getting but man, I wouldve loved to see the caped look with the collar and all

I love that they considered giving him the cape at one point.

@BlindWedjat - did they blatantly stole Daredevil's moto?
Kumkani
Kumkani - 2/24/2018, 7:46 AM
@ODanil - Well it's from a comic where T'Challa loses his powers and replaces Daredevil as the crime fighter of Hell's Kitchen to "find his way".

ODanil - 2/24/2018, 7:52 AM
@BlindWedjat - oh, then I'll allow it.

So who made the outfits before Shuri?
Kumkani
Kumkani - 2/24/2018, 7:22 AM
@Forthas - Someone. The suit T'Challa wore in Civil War was his father but sightly redesigned. She just designed new ones

@BlindWedjat - I thought his suit had gold accents in the 1992 Flashback? It looked different.
Kumkani
Kumkani - 2/24/2018, 7:47 AM
@SonOfAGif - It was a different helmet (like the one above) and yes it did. Which is why I said it was redesigned. Not sure if it was the exact same suit though but it looked like it with just different colour accents.

@Forthas - who knows, but not Shirk. When we first met her, she calls the CW suit an old design

@BlindWedjat - The suit T'Challa wore in CW was designed by himself.

@LarryDee - yep, he clearly said that the CW suit was his design

@LarryDee - He said that but his fathers suit was exactly the same other than the helmet and it had gold parts instead of silver.

@Forthas - I'm sure T'Chaka had a tech guy or two making his stuff.

Kinda wish they went with the popped collar and cape version.

@Boyle360 - I'm not sure. I thought that the father's suit looked very different. It remind of a less advanced version of Killmonger's suit.

I loved the look of the suit in the opening apartment scene. So regal.

Badass suit.

KingNomarch - 2/24/2018, 7:30 AM
His suit is easily one of my favorites

Also, for some strange reason I can't change my profile picture, I tried to change it to Black Panther and then it wounded up being an infinity war pfp, so I tried to change it into the Killmonger gif but it turned out to be my old Thor Ragnarok gif profile picture...pretty weird and I can't find a solution to this odd problem.
Kumkani
Kumkani - 2/24/2018, 7:48 AM
@JustAChillDude - It's showing up as the Killmonger one for me. Give it some time

His suit was really great in the beginning scene, I've never really been a fan of the open mouth look but even here it looks great

Regardless of your thoughts on the film, I think we can all agree....T'Chaka let himself go.
