Black Panther
word of advice ! Spoilers before forAvengers # 55
In the latest issue of Marvel Comics’Avengers , one ofBlack Panther’sbiggest flaw has been exposed now that T’Challa has leave Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes . Typically , Black Panther ’s frequent struggle in the comics is balance his treble roles as Billie Jean Moffitt King and warrior . However , recent upshot in Wakanda have revealed a prominent topic : T’Challa ’s demand to be in control . Motivated by shifts toward greater democracy , it ’s become evident that Black Panther has a Batman - level need to be the one shout out the shots .
In Marvel’sBlack Pantherfrom John Ridley and Juann Cabal , King T’Challa has been grappling with Wakanda ’s modulation to a constituent monarchy ( unadulterated with a new fantan ) . This mean that the Black Panther ’s persona as king is now more of a traditional figurehead . Likewise , it also means that he no longer has the one-sided government agency he once had , something he ’s found frustrating and problematic rather thanWakanda ’s new democracy being viewed as good . showcase in point , the potential exposure of a sleeper assassin political program he built in arcanum has incite T’Challa to ill-use down as chairman of the Avengers as he desperately seek to cover it up .

Interestingly enough , Avengers # 55from Jason Aaron and Javier Garrón see commonwealth thriving in Black Panther ’s absence . Having left their ranks , it ’s reveal that the Avengers have formed a new leadership council , allow for Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes to vote on a assortment of issues such as whether or not torecruit the vigilante Nighthawk as an Avenger . What stands out is the fact that Black Panther could have easily formed this leadership council when he was still around as president . Instead , he retained the purpose of leadership for himself . combine with his frustrations with Wakanda ’s young republic , there ’s more than enough grounds to suggest that Black Panther has a pretty significant control job whether it ’s with his own nation or start the Avengers .
All in all , it ’s a fairly classic and cool character defect where the uber - competent hero ( such as Black Panther or Batman ) is also a control freak . It ’s also an entertaining way for Marvel to occupy with the idea Black Panther has almost always been an unelected crowned head over an unrepresented arrangement of authorities ( and been okay with it ) . Now that his nation has a representative , Black Panther is losing much of the control he once had . While T’Challa would likely demonstrate to his altruistic motives of keeping his nation safe by hold that control , the pros of equal representation preponderate the dubiety the Black Panther is feel during this fresh geological era .
The same logic give to the Avengers as well . In the facial expression of a major threat likeMephisto and the Council of Red , it ’s pass to be crucial that no one hero is work the show . As such , it ’s ultimately a good thing that Black Panther is no longer in charge . While both Marvel’sAvengersandBlack Pantherhave exposed this significant character flaw for T’Challa , here ’s hoping theBlack Panthercan recover a means to overcome it as both series continue .
