Pretty much. Taking two characters and mashing them together doesn’t work unless they were designed to be a pair from the start or they’re low profile enough where no one would bat an eye if they became a thing. The examples you give show that pretty clearly. If T’Challa has to be in a power couple it’s gotta be from someone in his own mythos and even then I question why he needs a super powered love interest.
Like I said before, MJ and Lois haven’t been shown as helpless, crying civilians in awhile, why do we automatically assume that Monica has to play into comic tropes that haven’t been prominent for at least a decade now? Like Nightshade could easily be brought in as a love interest because she has no real fanbase either. But c’mon, what really makes her so much better than Monica other than the fact she can fight? That’s not to say she couldn’t work, but I don’t hold her in higher esteem just because she can defend herself.
And no Gambit and Rogue aren’t working, I want my man to get a divorce after that Mr. and Mrs. X series lol. And I’m salty Rogue gets to be on the main X-Men book while Gambit out here getting disrespected in garbage tier Excalibur.
It's weird because, to the ga, he's probably as famous as she is now
Hold up.....According to them, T'Challa was benefiting off Storm's Fame and he was the only one benefitting remember?
Black Panther has over 100+ solo issues and was on series 5 (or 4) when Storm (who only had a MINI to her name) showed up. In terms of comics who needed WHO?
It was not HER that got movie talk started that was HUDLIN. The animated series was suppose to be the start of that. Seeds were being planted long before. Hudlin added her probably in hopes of being able to use her in what would have been a Black Panther movie before IKE stood the way and fueled right wars with Fox.
MJ and Lois have held SOLOS way LONGER than Storm. Lois has over 100 solo issues by herself and that book was one of DC's top sellers beating BATMAN at one time.Like I said before, MJ and Lois haven’t been shown as helpless, crying civilians in awhile, why do we automatically assume that Monica has to play into comic tropes that haven’t been prominent for at least a decade now?
People invested in them to be more because they were being showcased in more than just comics. Same with Catwoman, Harley, Betty & Veronica.
FORGET-you can get Coates final Panther trade on Final Order Cutoff this weekend. Funny the trade will be out before or on the same day of the final issue.

To be fair, not holding a solo doesn't mean a character isn't good.
I think it's reasonable to assume Storm was generally more well known than Black Panther at one point. I don't see how that means he was "benefitting" from her popularity though
GA, absolutely
But, as we know, that doesn't really do anything for the comics lol
People know freaking Iceman too but other than" ice powers" they probbaly didn't know a thing abotu him lol. Dude was a nothing sandwich til they made him gay.
But, cool name + easy powers that fit name + cartoons can do A LOT for a character to the GA.
Comic wise, that is backed up by nothing

Yeah, wasn't he already fairly well known by comic readers before they were married?

Why would Hunter want to find them? Even if he did he probably just kill them since they're a reminder that he's not a true wakandan. The man is more loyal to his country than everyone not named t'challa.a punisheresk character who despite being N outsider has eaened his place. Also a fun antagonistic half-brother to Tchalla.
The only knock agaist him is he is white but we all need that one crazy white friend.
That was Jakarra and he wasn't the oldest
Second in line.
T'challa was first in line. He is the eldest.
It was (another) retcon by Hudlin (to be fair, it was supposed to be a separate thing) having Jakarra die there instead of becoming that purple monster dude... which was retconned back by rise of the BP
