BEsauro my man... use the multi quote button lol
And Roy Thomas BP had his balls cut off. Pretty sure Roy wrote the "won't hit a woman" even though she was evil thing too. Horrible rendition all around.

T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
For when my rants on the forums just aren’t enough: https://thevindicativevordan.tumblr.com/
I’m coming around to the idea that if T’Challa must be part of a power couple (and I really don’t think he needs to as he’s already surrounded by a bunch of combat-oriented women) him and Nightshade would work. The big issue with Storm outside being from another franchise is that she embodied a lot of the same traits that T’Challa already has. While she’s not quite as stoic or cunning as he is, a huge part of her character was keeping her internal peace and trying to be as stately as possible in spite of her love of freedom.
As a love interest, she reinforces T’Challa’s stoic badassery in a way that makes her a lot like the Mera to his Aquaman. What I think T’Challa needs is a Catwoman, someone that he can’t read so easily and who lives a bit on the wild side. Someone who brings out that more passionate, DGAF element of T’Challa he suppresses due to his responsibilities and hidden traumas (dead daddy, lost friends, loneliness of the throne). Nightshade does that pretty well because unlike Storm she’s not good at hiding that she’s a street rat at heart lol. She would do a much better job of coaxing T’Challa out the vibranium shell he’s built around himself with her own brand of wit and power. She’s fun-loving, has a bit of villainous streak she’s trying to leave behind, and is foreigner meaning she personalizes this central issue of T’Challa trying to have Wakanda be an open member of the world community. At the same time T’Challa and his qualities (knows who he wants to be, strong moral compass, sees hope in most people) are a stabilizing influence on Nightshade, meaning they benefit and both grow from their relationship.
She’s not as smart or quite as powerful as T’Challa so you’re not really stepping on his toes the way you would if you had him dating an omega-level character like Storm or Spectrum. But she’s still capable enough to never be a damsel. And she’s basically free real estate as she’s not tied to any other characters or franchises. Meaning a writer can really redefine her and flesh out a backstory while having a range of story elements to draw from in her past publication history. Plus while she’s undeniably a D-lister she’s more visible than most of the other options due to her appearances in the Luke Cage show, meaning outside Nakia (should stay dead), Storm (not possible), and Spectrum (dating someone else), she’s the most high profile black woman T’Challa could end up with in the comics. Short of reinventing someone else like Monica Lynne or Zanda.

I've seen the outcome of the tournament because of Bleeding Cool, but have not read it. It was one of those subverting expectations stories. lol
spoilers:end of spoilers
I wasn't expecting Tchalla to win, but I was thinking the path was going to be BP vs Namor in the finals. But "Echo" is the phoenix holder. There were no hints at that unless I missed it.
I liked seeing TChalla and Cap go at it. But the issue wasn’t gripping nor conclusive about much in my opinion. But TChalla was in it so I bought anyway.

We will never have a clear cut Tchalla vs Steve winner and oddly enough I'm cool with that..
Speaking of the BC Avengers do we know anything about that BP? I think we've gotten issues that focused on the origins of the other members besides for him. Looking at the roaster I don't know what he brings to the table if he's just a human. Besides the line from the Phoenix of how if he believed that if he needed to, he would try and destroy them if he had to, it sounds cool but unless we get a flashback or issue that makes that somewhat believable that he could be a threat, I don't see it. Fan Fei at least had the powers of the Iron Fist while he's just a guy in a loincloth.
