T'Challa (Earth-11584)

History
"'If you taught me anything, baba, it's that Wakandans are a brave people. They will face the world with exactly that, bravery, whatever that may mean.'"Coming Soon...

Powers & Abilities

 * Powers of the Black Panther: Due to ingestion of the Heart-Shaped Herb, T'Challa is imbued with the ritual strength of the Black Panther, including super strength, speed and reflexes. His upper limits are unknown, but he has been shown to be strong enough to withstand the Winter Soldier's cybernetic arm, fast enough to outrun cars, and quick enough to dodge close range gunfire while empowered.
 * Black Panther Habit: As the Black Panther, T'Challa has a suit that is made entirely of vibranium, and thus is Bulletproof. The suit also includes retractable Vibranium claws on the hands, capable of damaging Captain America's shield at least superficially. The newest version designed by Shuri also has sound-absorbent footware, the ability to absorb and redistribute kinetic energy, and is fully contained within a necklace via nano-technology.
 * Martial Arts Master: Even without his powers, T'Challa is a skilled unarmed combatant, as he was able to defeat the larger M'Baku in ritual combat to earn the title of King of Wakanda.
 * Vast Resources: As the sovereign ruler of Wakanda, he has access to the vast resources of the tiny nation, including near autonomous decision making on how the nation's Vibranium is utilized.

Weaknesses
While T'Challa is a skilled combatant even without the powers of the Black Panther, these powers could be theoretically removed from him via an antidote to the Heart-Shaped Herb, the formula of which is a closely guarded state secret. Without them, T'Challa would be much easier to kill.

The current version of his Black Panther Suit has also been shown to be vulnerable to high frequency sonic attacks, as it disrupts the natural properties of Vibranium.
