For me the Black Panther is the ruler of Wakanda and sometimes in USA.Because these days i haven't talk with his wife(Storm).I think the writers don't what to do with him as you said G-Man.

The Black Panther as a ruler is cool, but comic book readers do want to see him fight crime all over. I want him to be the ruler of Wakanda, him and Storm's relationship needs to be written better. And that better not be T'Challa under that mask for the American Panther.    " Black Panther is a complex character. He just might be more complex than he needs to be. Since T'Challa's debut back in 1966, he has gone through quite a bit of changes. It's almost enough to make you wonder if he knows what he wants to do with himself or whether writers know what they should do with him.  " VERY true.

happy birthday leonardo da vinci

ok black panther is jacking captian america's swag

he's a real new yorker now.

The american panther is what i think batman would look like fused with Captian America...

" I would love an on-going taking place there instead of New York like a bazillion other Marvel heroes... "

If that really is him in the new costume maybe he is taking over as leader of the secret avengers.

Could there be a digital version of Morlun?

Bingo. The character isn't as complex as we've been mislead to believe. He's no more complex than Aquaman, Namor, or any other "torn between two worlds" hero. In fact, the only reason he's "torn" is because writers don't know what to do with him. I've noticed that many writers (including black ones) really don't know what to do with black characters. They often fall into the pathetic habit of making their ethnicity their distinguishing feature. With T'challa, a man's who's heritage is such a big part of who he is, it always struck me as disappointing how little we see it displayed and analyzed in his comics. Point blank, most writers lack the ability and and are afraid of tackling the task of fleshing out Wakanda, its culture, its people, its politics, and T'challa's relationship to it. Writers have a hard time changing their view of Africa as do audiences. So having an African nation be the most advanced on the earth pushes their suspension of disbelief pass it's limits. And that's saying something considering the medium.  Another problem is the assumption that american audiences lack the ability or desire to relate to stories that take place outside of it's borders. While this holds true to some extent I think the world has advanced to the point where most WASP now realize that there's a world outside of the U.S. and people who have both wholly unique perspectives and stories as well as universally relatable ones. Until a writer is bold enough to say "No, we're going to make you breathe in Wakanda's air, bath in it's rivers, speak and listen to it's people" then the Black Panther title will always be in this constant flux of inconsistency.

If I was writing his character I would end the Panther Cult in Wakanda. Have a miniseries about the choice of a new one ( Lion, White Gorilla, Crocodile) Bast the panther Goddess showed up when Vibranium did and should leave with it now that there's no more! Have Shuri become the avatar of that God so there's only one Black Panther.

I would also reintroduce the Wakandan Secret Police to help facilitate her reign. After losing vibranium Wakanda must be in chaos! Shuri is the kind of character that would sanction one.

During Doomwar, T'Challa was exploring what he called "Shadow Physics"... considering that he's a genius I would like to see him find some way to harness this new power so that Wakanda can capitalize on it and work it's way back to greatness.

Like Spider-man, Batman and any other successful hero, the Black Panther has his own rogues and villains. It would be interesting to have them reimagined and sent against Wakanda seeing how Hudlin left them out when he rewrote The Black Panther's origins.

Finally I would have T'Challa lead a team of global heroes to solve humanity's problems. With US Agent, Captain Britain, Red Guardian, a new Major Mapleleaf and him as the Black Panther (A superhero not a ruler and living wherever Storm is). This series could easily replace one of the many Avengers titles... "

Looks like they put Captain America, Black Panther, and Batman in a blender

" The Black Panther should never be portrayed as just another urban crime fighter. This is a well designed character, with a rich back story, containing several elements that are unique to the Black Panther.  As a character, he's been allowed to grow in ways that most Marvel heroes never do.  Returning him to New York, not even as an Avenger, but as a simple costumed vigilante is a step backwards for the character. Several steps, in fact. The Black Panther has been here before. As much as I'm enjoying the "Man without Fear" story line... & I am... it's a bit of a retread over ground well-covered in the Panther's past. Get him back to Wakanda. Return him to his status as ruler of that land. Let him get back together with his wife.  The Black Panther's tales should be a blend of high adventure & political intrigue. His series have been consistently good, & I don't understand why they keep getting cancelled, just to be brought back a few months later with a new creative team. Marvel is clearly invested in telling tales of the Black Panther. There's a long standing fan base in place. Let's get a new book going, & this time, let's keep it going.in the meantime, while we're waiting for that new Black Panther series that Marvel will inevitably launch, how about letting the Black Panther spend some time with the X-Men.  He'd be reunited with Storm.  The Black Panther has never spent much time interacting with Marvel's premiere mutant heroes. The idea of having the Black Panther, The Sub-Mariner, & Magneto, all deposed heads of state, all in self exile on the same island, is rife with story ideas. "

WTF!? Seriously what are they smoking at Marvel these day! I tolerated Man Without Fear because even though it made no sense for T'Challa to leave Wakanda in it's time of need, it was a good book but this American Panther BS is downright....unnecessary!? It doesn't fit him at all, Marvel is just looking for new way to bury my favorite character

The "American Panther" is without a doubt the dumbest idea i've ever heard from Marvel.

it wouldn't be the Marvel way if they didn't mess up a solid character with a new outfit. he'll fight for america, get mad at the government, divorce his wife, and probably reclaim his old kingdom. i say all within a year.

Seriously, Black Panther sucks now. How is he still married to Storm when they live on opposite coasts and never appear together anymore? It's like their marriage is more of a loveless political one than Crystal and Ronan The Accuser.

I don't care if he is in Wakanda or not, I just think he should spend more time with his wife, perferably on the same team.  Maybe they could both be Avengers together.  It would be cool to see Storm on the Avengers, like she was in the Marvel Adventures Avengers series.  Besides the X-office doesn't seem to have much use for her anyways.  It was cool when they were both on the Fantastic Four.  I'd like to see something like that again.

These were all great ideas. But, I fear they won't listen. "

Honestly I just wanna Thank G-man for writing this. Marvel has ruined my Favorite character and now seeks to kill him( If that is indeed him under there.) What about his wife, what about the rebuilding of his nation what about providing aid to his sister nations. The Panther can be doing so much more than running a diner using a fake name that is a bad Homage to things fall apart. And in this case they have his whole life and legacy. Thanks alot marvel  .

I agree, I wanna see Black Panther deal with something that is pertinent to him, like a 'Black Panther x Unknown Soldier' kind of story. Yes, I get that he's in Hell Kitchen doin' his thing, but he must care about Wakanda just alittle. And PLEASE shake up the Storm/Black Panther angle, I mean I know it's a marriage, as dull as that can be (j/k), but this is comic books.
