We all know that Marvel may or may not get 20th Century Fox to share the X-Men with the rest of the MCU like they have done with Spider-Man recently which begs the question: Who can be the Bride of the Panther if not Storm? There are two candidates that come to mind but both of them are feminine fatales.
Nakia aka Malice was part of the Dora Milaje which are the king's royal concubines. She represented one of the rival tribes that T'Challa was obligated to marry in order to maintain peace within the Wakanda Region. T'Challa loved Nakia at first until her blood thirsty nature for power became more apparent with her jealous tendencies towards other Dora Milaje. Nakia desired to become Queen Regent of Wakanda whose royal authority is second only to the king's. When T'Challa turned his attention to Omoro Munroe aka Storm, Nakia plunged into a dark pit of envy. Nakia was a well versed practitioner and she entered a pact/ relationship with Eric Killmonger who desired the crown of Wakanda as well. When Rev. Achebe was pulling the strings, Killmonger and Nakia came very close to eliminating the future king and queen of Wakanda.
Princess Zanda is the only other unworthy lady to take the throne. Zanda is a self made woman who would never settle for anything less than Queen Regent of Wakanda. Zanda also believes in the ancient ways of her people. She along with other scrupulous antiquity collectors have tried to steal or procure various occult objects that will enable them to take over the world. When Zanda learned that T'Challa was marrying Storm, she launched her own plan to prevent the wedding without the help of Achebe or his cohorts. Zanda's plan eventually failed and Storm became the rightful Queen of Wakanda. Zanda eventually met her end along with the rest of her collectors when a dark force turned its own power against them.
Other than these two ladies, who else would be worthy to become Queen of Wakanda? I'm hoping that Valkyrie or whoever this female Thor is becomes the Black Panther's bride because she could bring the thunder and lightening to Wakanda's enemies and make it rain in the dry and humid Wakanda region. What do u think?
