T'challa's Greatest Comic Book Feats: http://blackpanthermarvel.blogspot.c...her-feats.html
Fellow BP fans, please vote for BP here: http://community.comicbookresources....nament-Round-1
And if it's not too much to ask, please vote for Storm too. Thank you in advance.
Funny thing is that the two writers who had T'Challa get angry at Storm for interfering (which I thought was BS and actually did bother me) were Hudlin and Liss, two guys who apart from that wrote the couple pretty well.
As far as why they were broken up... we might never know. I personally think it was probably a variety of things. I think it was probably logistically more difficult to handle a couple in 2 different franchise, especially if one or both didn't necessarily want to utilize the marriage at the time. I think both ending up on different ends of the movie side of things made it a potential issue since Storm in the Fox movies and T'Challa in the marvel movies might end up with seperate love interests. And I think marvel might have notices the marriage to a degree was actually causing a divide in the fan bases between the X-Men and Black Panther rather than bringing them together (though I'm not entirely sure why they'd expect Wild Kingdom, the story arc which started the whole thing, would bring them together).
It is also possible that some writers wanted to pair Logan and Storm. I think there was a sort of sexual tension there which Claremont teased back in the day (they kissed once or twice) but was never followed up on. Maybe they wanted to explore that.
Yeah. I think Fall of the Hulks was a sort of "Bad Guys Win" sort of event too. And that IMO helped establish the Intelligencia as being credible threats... pity they weren't really used a whole lot since then.
I think marvel just needs to do more events like that once in awhile, just to remind readers that these guys are credible threats who should be feared, even if they do end up losing 99.99% of the time. Having the good guys get their behinds handed to them won't hurt too much, because we know the good guys will still win in the end anyways.
Yeah, but the good guys losing should be the ones that can take a loss. Like Spidey, or the X-Men, or the top Avengers, or even some of the younger teams.
Not the ones they should be building up into brands, like Guardians, Ms Marvel, Captain Marvel, and BP.

I have a feeling Wakanda will be involved with Egyptia in some shape or form since they are connected to the mythology. If the 2,000 Wakandans showed their physical might against them I think it would be pretty cool.
Then you aren't paying attention. BP hasn't had a truly notable win since the Skrulls. And this is a character they are making a movie for. Don't you think there's a disconnect when the movie character is awesome, but the comic character is useless?
Marvel notices it; Ant-Man has a comic, Guardians has multiple comics. Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man have been in the forefront of multiple events. The only one where it didn't really matter was Big Hero 6 because Disney all but completely ignored the source material (for good reason).
If Marvel wants Strange, Carol, and T'Challa to have a chance in theaters, the push needs to start before the movies. And in T'Challa's case, before Civil War.

I disagree that he's useless. For all the complaints about Doom War, T'Challa did end up stopping Doom. Doom tried taking over the world, and he failed. T'Challa won. He didn't kill Doom but that wasn't the point. The point was to prevent him from gaining the power to control the world and he suceeded.
And T'Challa had plenty of victories in Liss Man Without Fear book. I'm not sure what you consider "truelly notable" but in the end he saved the day and beat the guy.
