Black Panther: Great and terrible Marvel Comics facts about T’Challa
By Mark Lynch
2. Black Panther and the Fantastic Four
After Marvel Comics Civil War, Reed Richards and Sue Storm’s relationship was rocky. To ensure that their marriage would last, they went on a honeymoon. Apparently, this was their first. Since they couldn’t leave the Fantastic Four without two members, Reed and Sue asked Storm and Black Panther to take their place.
The adventures Storm, T’Challa, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm went on were split into two comics. During Black Panther, the new Fantastic Four bounced around the multiverse using King Solomon’s Frogs (seriously). In Fantastic Four, they fought a few Heralds of Galactus. The latter showed how T’Challa planned to take the Silver Surfer’s powers and how the cosmic surfer is no match for Black Panther.
This may not have been the best run for Black Panther, but it was certainly fun.
1. Black Panther sent the universe a message
During Secret Invasion, the Skrulls thought it would be a good idea to invade Wakanda. If they were going to conquer Earth, they’d have to defeat one of the world’s greatest nations. At first, the Skrulls seemed to be winning. They had the numbers and the weapons to win. Unfortunately for them, their victory didn’t last. After defeating and slaughtering all of the Skrulls, the Black Panther has all of the dead aliens would be invaders placed on their ship with a message in blood that said, “This is what happens when you invade Wakanda.”
