The highlighted line is how it originally happened when Claremont wrote it. Tchalla wasn't popular back then so it didn't matter. Lol

[Ezyo]

Yeah except now he is bigger then storm.. and this is his book so why go back to the original? Why even have them needing to rescue either at all? Just say T'Challa was whooping ass, Storm showed up to help but she could see very clearly that her intervention was t needed. Let her zap a retreating foe and call it good

T'Challa the Black Panther was popular back then that's why Claremont chose him. I think young T'Challa was holding his own and would have defeated or escaped his attackers.

This is how Eric Jerome Dickey saw it and even in his story Ororo saved T'Challa. I got no problem with that but I got to admit, Dickey's narrative is more to my liking.



















I want to see the story of Storm and Black Panther's first meeting retold and with even more detail. Hopefully the new telling won't have T'Challa running along in just a loin cloth. Throw in a vibranium laced wardrobe and some Kimoyo beads. T'Challa and Ororo subtitled Black Storm would make a great Disney+ series. Just sayin'.

Cause the X-Fans fav token & wallpaper has to get some shine somewhere and if she doesn’t outshine those African savages it makes them mad

[Ezyo]

Yeah but who cares though because it's not her book. They don't need to appease the x fans. You can have a respectable showing for her while keeping T'Challa the focus

I can get with this. Since we have two tellings of the same story both from the Storm camp (X-Men author Claremont and her own mini series) it could be interesting to see another take on the story with a little more Black Panther centering. I want young T'Challa to display his talents, pack some Wakandan tech of his own making and dress in some fashionably functional Wakandan clothing.

Wouldn't that make him a bigger target? The point if the walkabout was to prove he didn't need any Wakandan advantages to survive. And the clothing choice was to make people think  he was from a tribal village. The same way the MCU wanted the general public to think of then.

Like other plot devices i.e. T'Chaka's killing and selecting a leader through combat, the "walkabout" was too contrived and leaves me both disquieted and with questions.

Bigger target, he's the biggest target in Afraka, period. So why senselessly risk him especially without precautions in place.

How do we see young TChalla proving his survival skills sans any Wakandan advantages. By walking around in a loin cloth and engaging in some fisticuffs. Maybe we could see him hunting and gathering. Perhaps he get a menial job to make ends meet and learn how the poorer less fortunate Afrakans eek out a living?

If he wanted people to think he was from a tribal village I would have preferred him configuring a Kimoyo bead to hollgraphically depict him as such. Or have T'Challa be the first to invent a process through which his clothing can change form and function for appearance's sake. What's all this nonsense about not using his own culture and its resources? The Wakandan walkabout could task the would be king  with finding a way to solve a particular social ill or have him traversing the many territories of the astral plane and being taught by ancient Black Panthers the art of leadership.

For a young Wakandan especially one of T'Challa's caliber survival outside Wakanda should be fairly simple. If they want young T'Challa to prove himself send him off planet. Create obstacles worthy of a Wakandan boy seeking to become king. Provide circumstances that truly challenge T'Challa's intellect and surpass his physical limitations. Make becoming the Black Panther monumental.

[Ezyo]

I like your ideas Ture m honestly I think a walkabout should have him complete specific tasks, whole placing him in all types of situations. He should have to build his own tech and supplies and thus in his walkabout he creates the self altering clothing

[Ture]

From his introduction he stole or owned every scene.

















Whether after the wars, during his homecoming or at the endgame, each time he appeared we rejoiced and wanted more.











And now we are told that we're supposed to accept that this was all the T'Challa, all the Black Pantherwe we will have. 







THEY ARE IN FOR A VERY RUDE AWAKENING!

Black Panther & Storm Can Finally Have an Equal Relationship
The King of Wakanda and the Regent of Arakko have loved each other for years, and their new roles could be just what their relationship needs.

BY TRISTAN BENNS



As one of Marvel Comics’ most iconic romantic pairings, the relationship between Black Panther and Storm is one for the ages, but their dynamic wasn’t always entirely equal - until now. The King of Wakanda and the newfound Regent of Arakko have always been a valuable part of each other's lives. And a reunion between T’Challa and Ororo Munroe is exactly what fans have been waiting years for.

Now that they’re both occupied with responsibilities on a cosmic scale, the pair have a better understanding of each other than ever before. And while Storm and Black Panther haven’t been an official item since way back before Avengers vs. X-Men, plenty of readers still see them as soulmates. And if recent developments in both characters’ lives are any indication, those readers just may be right.

S.W.O.R.D. #8 by Al Ewing and Guiu Vilanova cements Storm’s new reign as the leader of the planet Arakko. With an entire world of highly advanced mutants looking to her for leadership, she knows better than ever the weight of the crown T’Challa wears. Meanwhile, his crown has only gotten heavier as Black Panther #25 by Ta-Nehisi Coates and more cemented his rule as the leader of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda.

But despite their fancy new titles, the duo is still very much in love. Throughout Black Panther #25, they still refer to each other as “beloved,” and in the King In Black: Black Panther one-shot by Geoffrey Thorne and Germán Peralta, the King of Wakanda finds himself torn between doing everything he can to protect his people from the Symbiote invasion and rushing to Storm’s aid. The pair’s feelings for each other are clearly still incredibly strong, and with their newfound roles, there’s never been a better time for them to reunite.



Storm has always been incredibly powerful on every level, and she was even treated as a goddess before her time with the X-Men, but her recent political upgrade has taken her to a whole new level. As an iconic X-Man, and even a member of the Avengers for a brief time, Storm had her fair share of responsibilities both as a hero and as Wakanda’s Queen. But despite all her duties and titles, Storm’s various influential roles still created a dynamic that was very different from the relationship between her husband and his people.

Now, T’Challa’s Wakandan expansion has forever changed the mantles of king and Black Panther. It was never a question that Black Panther and Storm’s relationship was one based on love, but their separation in Avengers vs. X-Men proved that the Black Panther's duty to Wakanda came first. And as the leader of the intergalactic Wakandan Empire, T’Challa’s responsibilities have only grown.



But with her new position as the Regent of Arakko, Storm’s responsibilities have grown as well. As the ruler of a planet of superpowered beings, she’s become the default voice for the Sol system in the cosmic corner of Marvel Universe, making her every bit as politically powerful as her beloved. And were they to finally reunite as recent events have hinted, they would both have incredible responsibilities to ground them and keep their love in perspective.

In the eyes of the fans, Storm and Black Panther belong together. And their recent promotions just further prove that point. With their new responsibilities occupying even more of their time, Marvel Comics would be smart to reunite these two separated lovers before they’re literally star-crossed.


It has never been a question of equality to me but one of respect. Even in this article there remains a slant towards Storm's new responsibilities while knowing full well that T'Challa's emperorship of an intergalactic empire literally dwarfs Ororo's regency of a planet or even the solar system. The Black Panther and Wakanda have always shown much (perhaps too much) respect for Storm, can the X-Men and mutantkind say the same?

Properly written T'Challa and Ororo would recognize their love and fidelity for one another and seek a union that would consummate in a new royal family and herald a new leadership throughout the cosmos. Ororo would petition for Arakko to become a member of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda and together the Black Panther and Storm would face the challenges of the universe lightening charged hand in vibranium powered glove.
