Superhero Black Panther (Marvel Comics)

The Black Panther is one of the first and most popular dark-skinned heroes of the comics "Marvel". His image was invented by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in 1966, so the Black Panther was revealed to the world in comic book pages before such heroes as Luke Cage, Sokol, Blade and Groza. Since then, for more than a decade, the image of the Black Panther has inspired screenwriters and filmmakers, as well as millions of people who love the fantastic adventures of superheroes.

Different faces of the Black Panther

There are several different characters that, alternating with each other, were known as the Black Panther Marvel Comics. All of them are connected with Wakida - a fictional country, lost in the jungles of Africa. The black panther in this country was the one who wore the mantle of the king. The first Black Panther was the first king of the state of T'Chaca, and later power passed to the son of King T'Challet, who became the most famous Black Panther. In 2009, in the new comics about the Black Panther, the main role belongs to Shuri - T'Challa's younger sister. Later, T'Challa returns again.

History of the Black Panther

T'Chaca was an outstanding king. He helped his country become one of the most developed in the world and make a real technological breakthrough. This was made possible by the development of a vibranum (a fictional alien mineral), which the king began. However, the mercenaries led by Ulysses Claw saw an easy prey in Wakanda and attempted to make a coup in the country. T'Chaca was murdered, and T'Challa, still quite young, was forced to defend his country. He managed to save Wakid, but since then the attacks of greedy enemies have continued over and over again. T'Challa became an excellent and experienced warrior, but he still understood that under the onslaught of constant attacks Wakanda would inevitably fall. Therefore, T'Challa decided to go to America and became part of the team of the Avengers, enlisting the support of other superheroes.

Upon returning home, T'Challa changed his country's policy and led it out of isolation. Later, he married Ooro Monroe, a superhero with the pseudonym of Groza, and for a time they were part of the Fantastic Four. During the next attack of enemies under the direction of Doctor Dumas T'Challa nearly died and fell into a state of deep coma. The king's robes were taken by his sister Shuri, and thus the Black Panther Marvel Comics changed her face. However, in the fifth part of the comic T'Challa comes to himself and returns.

Strength and abilities of the Black Panther

What special opportunities does the Black Panther Marvel Comics have? Forces do not hold this character. For example, a superhero can lift a weight of more than 350 kilograms and develop a speed of more than 55 kilometers per hour. The muscular character of the hero exudes few toxins of fatigue, making the almost inexhaustible force possessed by the Black Panther (Marvel Comics). The abilities of the superhero are varied. His body can heal even fatal injuries. He perfectly sees in the dark and has a truly feline dexterity. The ultra-thin rumor of the hero allows him to hear something that would never have heard the ordinary human ear. T'Challa keeps thousands of different smells in his memory and is able to find out what he needs. In addition, he can smell the scent of fear. More aggravated and the taste of the hero, so he knows in minute detail the composition of any dish that eats.

At first, using the royal privilege, T'Challa multiplied his supernormal abilities, using a special heart-shaped grass, but later the Black Panther refused it.

Technological equipment of the Black Panther

At the disposal of the Black Panther are many unique technological devices. Among them:

• A network of vibrinium;
• Kimoyo map - a universal powerful communicator, similar to that used by the Avengers, but with a wide variety of possibilities;
• Energy boots, thanks to which the Black Panther, like a cat, can land on his feet, and also walk on walls and along water;
• A lens on the mask, sharpening the sight of the Black Panther in the dark;
• Heavy protective armor, controlled by the power of thought;
• Technology of camouflage: the cloak of the hero can be compressed, stretched and disappear according to the thought, and the entire costume can instantly take the form of ordinary human clothes;
• A vacancy-enhanced aircraft.

Black Panther Weapons

In addition to various unusual technologies, the Black Panther (Marvel Comics) has a powerful weapon. For example:

1. An energy dagger, a blade of which can be successfully used to stun or kill an enemy. Energy dagger can be used like a knife, or you can throw like a dart. This weapon is quickly restored.
2. Ebon Blade.
3. Antimetallic claws on gloves made of Antarctic antimetal, which due to its extraordinary strength can break any other metal.

Black panther outside the comics

The Black Panther was filmed many times. So, in 1994 came out the animated series "Fantastic Four", in the plot of which the Black Panther, enlisting the support of the Fantastic Four, fights with the super villain Klaw. Also, the Black Panther appears in the animated series "Iron Man. Adventures in the armor "and" Superheroes ", which began shooting in 2009.

If to mention the last cases, when the Black Panther Marvel Comics appeared on the screens, in 2010 the world saw six episodes of the animated series about the adventures of the Black Panther, made in the genre of an animated comic strip. In the same year came out and the animated series "The Avengers. The Greatest Heroes of the Earth ", in which the Black Panther is one of the members of the fantastic team of Avengers.

Expected premiere

In 2016, the premiere of the film "The First Avenger: Civil War" is expected, in which the Black Panther will also appear. According to the plot, the government issues a law on compulsory registration for each of the superheroes, which will force them to extradite their identity and enable the state to monitor the activity of superhumans. The superhero team, led by Captain America, supports such a policy, and another team led by Iron Man opposes it. So former friends become enemies, and between them begins a fierce confrontation. The Iron Man team is among the other heroes and the Black Panther Marvel Comics.

Appearance outside the comics in the feature film about the Black Panther itself is scheduled for 2018. The proposal to become the director of the new film company "Marvel" made Ryan Kugler, whose famous work is the dramatic film "Creed: The Legacy of Rocky." Negotiations on cooperation with this director were already conducted in 2015, but the parties' agreement was never reached. The negotiations resumed after the success of Kugler, when "Creed: the legacy of Rocky" collected 70 million in the first days of the rental. For the role of scriptwriter, Marvel Studio plans to invite Mark Bailey, who is successful in creating documentary stories about prisons and a pandemic in Iraq. The main role of the Black Panther was proposed to be performed by Chadwick Bozeman, known for such films of recent years as "James Brown: The Way Up", "Draft Day" and "42".

Reviews about the Black Panther

It's easy to explain the creators' plans to shoot a new film, where the main character is Black Panther Marvel Comics. The movies about this superhero are really rare, and T'Challa is one of the most popular comic book heroes in the world. Therefore, although Marvel studio is working on such projects as, for example, "Doctor Strange" and "Guardians of the Galaxy", the main focus, according to Stan Lee, is given to the Black Panther.

In 2009, the Black Panther (Marvel Comics), which is not completely unambiguous, took 51st place on the list of 100 top comic book superheroes, leaving behind Blade, the Black widow, the Falcon and the Ant-Man.

Of course, the comic book "Marvel" can not be valued for their entertainment and intriguing dynamic plot. The creators of this product seem to know exactly what the readers want and what can surprise them. Hopefully, the films that are due to be released in the near future and show the modern story of the character Black Panther Marvel Comics, the criticism can rightfully be called worthy adaptations of the legendary comic books.
