He's already been retconned, though. He even has a whole mini about it.
M'Baku, OTOH, is apparently dead (twice!). So bringing in the MCU design now wouldn't work.
Doubt it, no matter what it is. At this stage in the game, it's almost certainly wishful thinking, like all the rumors about BP1, _none_ of which were true.
That's also from a cover of said book. Which makes it unlikely to be the actual logo.
Probably another fan trying to make Namor a thing because of a throwaway line in Endgame.
You telling me someone just used the snipping tool on a google image and some of y'all are falling for it lol?

T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
The Black Panther needs a scene stealing moment like this...
Get Hectic!
I must admit that I love these pages for the twisted sense of irony they fill me with. It feels to me that T'Challa is detailing to Ororo exactly how he felt having his accomplishments and the legends they spawned acting as a weight around his neck as he made his way through the galactic empire. That reeks of irony to me because that's exactly what Storm was trying to avoid by rejecting the name Hadari Yao. She's known in Wakanda Prime, but her name was mocked by Nakia last issue. Ororo isn't known to the empire, but T'Challa is pushed beyond the mere mortal coil as the myth and legend of Wakanda's greatest King and Bast's greatest avatar.
I'm over here racking my brain trying to understand how T'Challa managed to lose his kingdom only to gain an empire? How did Storm or anyone else take the spotlight from him when the narrative suggests that he is the greatest champion and warrior that Bast or Wakanda has ever known? I honestly can't think of one thing T'Challa's supposedly lost as king that he hasn't gained back tenfold. I could be totally about the trajectory of this issue, but the tone feels pleasing to me. I'm ready for this impeccable king to claim another victory in a long succession that Shuri, Ramonda, Okoye, Nakia, Ororo and Dr. Eliot have credited to him.
He hasn't gained an empire. Also show don't tell. This has been one of the biggest issues among others with Coates series. He does alot of telling (sometimes not even in the book) and doesn't show anything. Previous writers had no issues showing why T'Challa is the greatest BP and king Wakanda has ever had, however Coates will say alotnof stuff butnthen show him struggling against non powered goons, or D list villains and needing the help of Supporting cast (doesn't matter who it is, he will pull any random ass Characters in and make them the MVP) but then people will say he is showing T'Challa as powerful?
Honestly I find the dig at Wakandan traditions Coates made to be really the only thing he has consistently shown and told readers. He doesn't get Wakanda or T'Challa abd he has Zero issues throwing shade and Making up isht to shade throw onto the mythos
Did people miss the emojis accompanied with the image on Twitter?
This is where our biases start to run counter to one another's. You say T'Challa hasn't gained an empire, but it doesn't quite make sense to me. How did Ororo gain worshippers in Wakanda? How did T'Challa appeal to the better side of Thunderball's nature? In my understanding it's all reflective of T'Challa reclaiming his name. T'Challa the man is trying to reckon with holding onto tradition as king. I don't see any digs at Wakandan tradition either, considering it all has come full circle and fallen back into his lap. If the constitutional monarchy is everything its cracked up to be, then why is T'Challa still the beacon of hope and the personification of Bast annointed excellence?
There's a bunch of evidence that suggests that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Wakandan mythos is ever expanding and T'Challa is at the epicenter. If the empire is shaped in his imagine and his very name has been repurposed to reflect the greatest act of Vengence known throughout Wakandan lore, how isnt that elevating his actions to legendary status? How is it that T'Challa could be so inconsequential to the current state of Wakandan splendor, but his legend and the stories told about him amongst his people spanning 5 galaxies exalt his name like no BP before or after him. N'Jadaka is living in T'Challa's shadow and it drove him mad enough to seek out the means to steal Bast's power. Even in his rage and jealousy of T'Challa's position in Wakandan lore he can't help but to be consumed with feelings of inadequacy. T'Challa is a man that sees his vision for Wakanda being perverted into something he can't just allow to continue without correcting their trajectory. I can agree that we could use more clear victories for T'Challa. I can't in good faith suggest that T'Challa isnt the premiere ruler of Wakanda when Coates has neglected to show the council working effectively. We have seen the other characters react notably to his absence and we see their hopes and dreams of Wakanda in relation to T'Challa as king and Black Panther.
