Nothing against it, but the biggest Latino superheroine is White Tiger/Ava Ayala, and she's either a teenager or a young adult. There's Echo/Maya Lopez whose older and has the assassin thing going on I guess but she's Daredevil sow grabbing her might be difficult. There's Aracely/Hummingbird, who goes into the same problem as White Tiger (and thinking on it I'd love for them to team up for a couple of issues somewhere).
All cool characters, not sure about suitability though.
Also, how would it make good marketing sense?
I think he should date a Wakandan girl, he has only been shown with one (Only 4 women in total I think) even if its brief. I do think dating someone that is not Wakandan would probably be more interesting but him constantly getting with foreign women would be weird.

You're making it too complicated Flex, stop it! ;)
Black Panther... Significant Other/Love Interest... Rogues Gallery... Wakanda... Nostalgia... Period!

It's always easier to have T'challa date outside his own people because that is the whole xenophobic point of Wakanda!
He does have a Romeo and Juliet angle that can always be explored when you run dry of story arcs!
I have no problem with him having a fetish for women with super hero powers since he is a comic book character!
The only problem with him dating at all is that he is a monarch and every woman he hooks up with comes with political ramifications!
I don't necessarily want him playing the Coming to America route and considering who he is to the Marvel universe every step he takes has consequences!
Black Panther and Storm made sense at the time until it came with all the extra strength fan baggage and no longer was worth it for either fan base!
As fas as a Latino woman as the significant other does it come with the TROLLING that Storm brought and will it be something another writer could use to make an @$$ out of T'challa?
Sometimes to avoid the all black relationships people ease into it by using something in between like a black and white couple or a black and Latino couple!
For some people there is a problem with a black man and a black woman making whoopies on a subconscious molecular level that irks them!
It's probably better to use the B-Swizzy angle where Black Panther flirts with women that have a bad girl edge like Princess Zonda, Malice or Nightshade... But once must do every thing necessary to stay clear of the Bruce Wayne/Selina Kyle/Talia al Ghul type vibe!
Black Panther does however need a significant other closely resembling Lois Lane or Mary Jane/Gwen Stacy as a continual presence in his life to ground him and not be someone that can go off and scratch Wolverine's back just for the sake of TROLLING Black Panther fan clubs!
I have a few questions about the King of the Dead thing...
1) Does he have the opportunity to commune with the previous BP's that he fed to Mephisto? I have been wondering this since he first got the title. Please clarify something.
2) Does Mephisto absorb/consume souls, collect souls for enslavement or what. Because it appears to me that BP gave him an all you can eat banquet. Unless of course it is not canon or has been retconned. If not this could be an arch unto itself to liberate the souls of the previous BP's.
3) Since Killmonger, Ross, and Cole have been BP's at one point or another can he or will he eventually be able to commune with them also? Because pulling Erik's skillset alone would up his powerset.

I ask similar questions about Ava Ayala in Mighty Avengers and Captain Universe over in Avengers.
Or I don't, because they are in team books. Imagine that. In other words, Hickman could do that, but there's no obligation to. Even with the new powers, as long as it serves it's function within the story he's telling.

Doesn't matter to me. As long as she's a very good character. But right now, I'd like to see Deadly Nightshade as a love interest.

Please.
I defy anybody who reads Hickman's Avengers to tell me what Nightmask's powers even ARE.
All we know is that his shoulders glow sometimes.
By Hickman's standards of barely explained happenings, his handling of Black Panther is a 80's Marvel Guide entry in comparison.
He has the knowledge and skills of all his dead ancestors and they can see/talk to him if he wishes it.

About as fast as I am turning the next page.

Stronger than Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania.

They are Spirits In The Material World.
[QUOTE]7. What region of Wakanda does Necropolis reside in and does it have questionable national security concerns?[/QUOTE]
Necropolis sits to the left of MLK and Malcom X Aves. There are two requirements that will allow you to enter Necropolis. You have to either know the King or you have to be dead. It's your choice.

Bast doesn't live in Necropolis. He's from the Eastside. Yo!

Namor comes in through the sewers as is his station.

Before answering this question, I refer you to the Hatute Zeraze member who got pimp-slapped when he questioned T'Challa. I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may get injured.

I'll take the cash in lieu of prizes.
Marvell2100...
You get cold hard cash for that answer and a trip for 2 to Wakanda... Unless of course you want to make it a trip for one and stay in the palace in Shuri's royal chambers! :D
I like your answer for question #1 because that is the only answer that makes sense after 20 plus issues! :cool:
As others scramble to defend Hickman they fail to realize the missteps made to try to tamper with established canon and continuity without explaining his powers in detail which most other characters have already established decades ago!
A 10 question pop quiz for Reed, Tony or Namor would be clearly answered so they apparently don't have problems with weird skill sets and powers under Hickman's pen!
This was an attempt to boost Black Panther's status over three years and so far sales show a slow decline in reader retention...

43,000 for an ensemble book shows that the original 100,000 plus that bought the very first issue are not sticking around to see the dramatic conclusion to the 20 plus issue King of The Dead powers reveal in 2015... NEXT!!!

That trip for one is tempting but there is an even greater power that I would have to face when I got back. Let's just stick with the cash and two tickets.

Oh, two guys who've consistently had books since the beginning of Marvel and have barely been touched because they are the focus of more than two other comics? Shocker.
As for Namor, I'm sure his fans would disagree with you big time. Especially when it comes to the current state of Atlantis and why they weren't able to sufficiently defend itself against Wakanda.
As for defending Hickman's take on Black Panther? There's not much to defend, outside of why he hasn't killed Namor yet. IMO, it's been a rather typical take on the character. No long term damage to be had.
He's not brand building; that's not the point of New Avengers. I hope some other writer does that task for BP, maybe one as fervent about it as Pak and co. are about Storm (though we'll see if their execution amounts to anything).
