Who would make a good Sidekick for Black Panther?

T'Challa is the Black Panther, the super genius warrior king of the African nation of Wakanda, the most technologically advanced nation on Earth. He is one of the smartest men in the Marvel Universe, a former Avenger, and Storm's ex-husband. Black Panther was the first mainstream black Marvel superhero.

I Know BP doesn't have a sidekick Storm wouldn't count . Suri might but just out of curiosity who would think could fill those shoes has his sidekick?

Well, maybe if they did an Earth 616 version of Azari, of course, they could maybe not have him related

@Rell127: I wan thinking about X-23.
1. Storm can recommend her to Panther.
2. Her powers and skills can be really halpful in crimefighting.
3. Laura owes Dadedevil for standing up for her in Target X when Captain America wanted to arrest her.
4. Laura needs to learn how to deal with the villains without killing them.

Black Panther doesn't really need a sidekick and for that matter neither does any of the characters who have ever had one. I think having a sidekick at this point is more or less grooming for the future. If Marvel was thinking about it though..most likely I think it would\should be Shuri. I've always gotten the impression that Wakandan's have trouble playing nice with others so at the very least Shuri is his sister and she's spent some time as the Black Panther so she's good enough to assist him if he actually needs it.

@Kairan1979: T'Challa wouldn't frown on her killing people remember he has killed before.

@DalekDoctor2011: That might turn out interesting if he did accept her.

But he tries not to kill as the guardian of Hell's Kitchen.

@Kairan1979: Keyword is try lol. I could see T'Challa treating her like a sister.

@KEROGA: I can't see Spyke. From the X-men I can see Shadow Kat as a sidekick of his or even beast.

I think Queen Divine Justice would be good. But I think Everett K. Ross would be even better.

Being a goof but somewhat serious? His throne would make a great sidekick, meaning get him off skyscrapers and back where his stories actually have some scale. Personally.

Otherwise, they laid seeds for a personal relationship between him and Gentle awhile back, which I thought had some pretty important issues brought up that needed development, and it seems the story just floated away somewhere * looks around room and at ceiling *. I wouldn't mind seeing Gentle as his pupil, I think a lot of good stories could come from that.

I really like that. X-23 would be a badass sidekick.
