    You get a bit more leeway with Norse or Greek or Egyptian Mythology as they're not practiced a whole not now (in comparison to say Christianity which is also used in a lot of comics), but it can still be an issue.

    SOmetmes it's easier to just make up religions than use real ones I suppose... like they originally did with BP before crossing it over with Egyptian Mythology.

    agreed! An Egyptian wrote the bible... Mose!

    The key of life (ANKH) gives… it does not take. It represents eternal life. Osiris’s erection given by the ankh, so that he may be resurrected.



    it's sacred. erection = resurrection.

    Aaron & Javier have no business misrepresenting ancient African culture. Gods of Egypt is another whitewashed example of non-black people controlling the narrative… IMO it’s “diet-racism”. I’m not calling Aaron a racist. He’s worked on BP secret invasion. Bravo! But he is guilty of a lack of cultural sensitivity. As a black guy, it’s my duty to honor, uphold & safe-guard African culture. I should boycott this trash-@$$ comic! Teach these editors about literary integrity. Don’t be mad @ me for pointing out the BS. It was BS before I raised a finger. MK & BP= epic fail

    Don't get me started...


    Aw heck...


    Burbank, California.

    Disney offices.

    Black Panther walks in past the national guard posted out front noticing all the random construction workers nailing boards over the outer windows.

    ISH got real in America recently and he couldn't wait to return back to his homeland Wakanda where his relationship with law enforcement swayed more in his favor.

    The secretary quickly waved him in too greet...

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "MY Kiiiiiing... Welcome back, I trust your flight was as smooth as usual I mean what the heck your Royal Talon's are first class right. You didn't park it in my spot again did you huh no harm no foul."

    Black Panther: "Mickey it's June... What's the status of my ongoing comic?"

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Oh that... Hold on a second."

    Mickey speaks over his com...

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Hey, when you guys finish boarding up the windows please remember to stack the extra rice and beans in the storage barrels and get the national guard to install the gun turrets just in case thanks."

    Mickey turns back to his guest...

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Speaking of that the world is still technically on virus lockdown and we are waiting to see how that DC and Diamond Distribution thing plays out so hold tight. But in the mean time I was wondering if you could possibly talk to YOUR PEOPLE about the madness going on in the streets."

    Black Panther: "YOUR PEOPLE... I am not AFRICAN American this problem is a local problem so good luck with that."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Oh don't give me that Christopher Priest holier than thou vibe you are still under TNC Woke agenda so I demand you follow established protocol."

    Black Panther: "Sorry Mick the last few issues on his watch are all but up and I'm feeling kind of independent lately and back on my two steps/three steps ahead agenda."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Dude, it's pandemonium out there and you are the face of black super heroes... Take one for the team!"

    Black Panther: "Mick you are one of the wealthiest most influential individuals in this country what could you possibly be worried about?"

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "BLACK TWITTER!!!"

    Black Panther: "What???"

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "They are going to come for me... I can feel it."

    Black Panther: "You're losing it stay off social media."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "Think about it... My Steamboat Willie past could be brought up and they'll 'CANCEL' me. They will ask me to kneel for the flag... I can't do that think about all the white people that buy my products I can't show out publicly like that. Could you at least leave some Doras here to protect me they are talking about defunding the police."

    Mickey ducks under his massive desk at the sound of hard hammering on boards being placed over his window.

    Black Panther: "WOW, and I thought my Killmonger Waterpark ride was wild... Mickey, get from underneath the desk and man up or Mouse up."

    Mickey shook reluctantly slides out from beneath his desk.

    Black Panther: "Look... Sometimes in intense moments like this you need to ride this storm out."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "STORM... You said Storm is she here she's black she can speak out for us too!"

    Black Panther: "Mickey... NO! Compose yourself and face your demons and this too will pass."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "You always know the right things to say."

    Black Panther: "That's only when I have the right writers depicting me... Now let's go over the list of possible writers and choose carefully."

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "You better not say Redjack I'm really not feeling that guy he gives me the creeps... Plus he tried to smooth Minnie right out from under me."

    Black Panther: "Regardless of personal history he's on the list as are a few Milestone Media candidates especially in these strange racial times so crack open your rolodex it's gonna be a long night!"

    Mickey "Money" Mouse: "You sticking around... I feel so much safer with a super hero of color here."

    Black Panther: "Rolodex Mickey... The Rolodex!"

    From the 'Create a street level event' thread:

    Quote Originally Posted by DrNewGod View Post
    The Dispossessed:

    A new criminal entity - The Dispossessed - begins to make a push into Organized Crime across the entire US. Almost Hydra-like, The Dispossessed is distinguished in seeming almost completely decentralized. They are also unique in being made up largely of Latin American and African immigrants, although a substantial minority of their ranks include native born American citizens of color. As the event unfolds, it becomes apparent that all members of The Dispossessed are, or are descended from people who had to flee persecution in their native lands.

    The Dispossessed aren't like the gangs they seek to supplant. Aside from feeling more like a movement than an organization, they are as likely to covertly fund protest movements and civic programs as they are to run criminal operations, and they rigidly refuse to move drugs within their own ethnic and racial communities. In fact, some of their most intense battlegrounds with other gangs are not to take over drug trade, but to eliminate it. All that said, they are running rackets of all kinds, real estate swindles, identity theft, prostitution, kiddie porn, extortion, murder for hire... the list is endless.

    The Heroes reacting to this are the usual suspects: Daughters of the Dragon, Cage+Iron Fist, Spider-Man, etc., but one extremely surprising character, The Black Panther. T'Challa's stake in all of this is as mysterious as The Dispossessed’s origins. The only one that seems to have some notion of what's what is Daredevil, and for some reason, he's not talking.

    In the end, it’s revealed that Wakanda has a direct role in the roots of The Dispossessed. Klaw, it turns out, didn't just walk into Wakanda way back in the day when he killed T'Chaka, he had help. A cabal with members from all of the Wakandan tribes had colluded to aid Klaw in hopes of creating enough unrest to depose the existing order. The putsch failed, and there was a pogrom of these insurrectionists (in which more than a few innocents were swept up). The children of the traitors were driven out of the country, almost all of them on a ship bound for New York, where they grew up in squalor, surviving as best they could.

    T’Challa, still being a child, was told none of this by the Wakandan council that exercised regency until he was of age, and they concealed it for some time, even after his coronation. This was one of the main reasons The Black Panther came to the US to join the Avengers, not just to spy – as he allowed others to believe – but to have a discrete base of operations from which to find as many of the lost children as he could. This is why, for a time, T’Challa adopted an alias and worked as a school teacher. This is also why The Black Panther would periodically return to the Avengers for no other discernable reason, to continue his search.

    Early attempts proved that such a large number – particularly of second generation children – could not be repatriated. Being Wakandan is about more than birth, entailing many ritual rights-of-passage that earn one a place in the society. Instead, Wakanda set up a program to provide relief and aid for the exiles, and their children. Lawyer Matt Murdoch had been the program’s attorney and steward for several years (it gets overlooked a lot since the 1970s, but BP and DD had almost as tight a relationship as BP did with Captain America).

    Thing was, The Black Panther was not the only one seeking these displaced children, so was Erik Killmonger. Exploiting their oppression by the powers of both their ancestral and current lands, Killmonger helped the children organize The Dispossessed. If The Dispossessed succeed, and create a power-base within America, that’s all well and good with Killmonger. Should they fail, he means to use their origins to turn the entire world on Wakanda.

    Like the Triad idea I proposed, this one is tricky, requiring a very culturally aware pen, but it also offers some real dilemmas for Cage, Misty, The Falcon, Battlestar, Ms. Marvel and a several others as the nature of The Dispossessed are slowly exposed. The sympathies of some of the heroes could swing more than once, and there’s an opportunity for a real collision between Cage and The Black Panther. Writing the gang members and BP would be the key. The Dispossessed, have genuine grievances, want a better world, and are looking for a place in the world that was stripped from them. BP is trying to honor his obligations to the Wakandan-descended among them, but he can't countenance their crimes, nor can he take responsibility for their non-Wakandan members. Above all, he must protect Wakanda, not only diplomatically, but what it means to be Wakandan.

No spying to learn because he is a scientist at heart BS, he is a King and warrior first above all. Hell you could even tie this group into killmongers son and his group from hudlins run.

    This would take a very clever writer to pull off and if done properly, could easily fall into a top BP storyline
