June 10, 20178 yr This should be interesting. The Black Panther is one of the most unusual heroes in Marvel's stable, with a truly staggeringly complex of issues. Like I said elsewhere, Marvel's classic heroes always have problems - one or more. T'Challa's problems all come from being the king of a small, but powerful nation whose wealth is coveted by all. He doesn't even have time for the kind of entanglements that come from having a private life. Hmmm. It occurs to me his relationship with Klaw would be more complicated. In the original comic, Klaw murdered T'Challa's father when he was just a boy, forcing him to grow up really quickly into a very young king. But here, Klaw is just a thief with no personal connection to T'Challa. Also in the original story, Klaw had been aided by a Wakandan native, who died in the assault; but his family was nevertheless banished as a result. His son returned years later, full of anger and hate, to avenge his exile and that is Eric Killmonger (born as N'Jadaka) - who is apparently the main villain in this piece.
