Azari T'Challa (born early 2012) is the son of Wakandan king T'Challa known as the Black Panther and the mutant Ororo Monroe known as Storm. He was born during the traumatizing days of the event known as the "Ultron Revolution," when he had no other choice but to live in a network of underground cities in Wakanda, developed by his father, similar to the New York Underground Megacity built by the Stark in the United States. Before his parents and Wakanda itself had fallen fighting for Earth's freedom against Ultron, he was taken to safety by Iron Man and other surviving heroes alongside James Rogers, Torunn, and Henry Pym Jr. to keep them all safe from the hands of Ultron. Azari along with his other siblings only knew of the Avengers and other superheroes through their "uncle" Tony's tales of their former glory days as valiant defenders of mankind.
Black Panther
Growing up after the Ultron Revolution, he and his several companions as a child voluntarily joined the Resistance along with their newfound ally and friend Francis Barton and were trained by the previous and retired heroes so that then one day, they'll be prepared to help them against the tyrannical empire of Edward Stark and take back humanity's freedom once again. During the last days of the final war against the Empire, he was finally ready to put on the suit of succession and was able took on the mantle of his father, becoming the all-new Black Panther of the newest team known as the Next Avengers.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
As the son of Black Panther and Storm, Azari inherited the powers and abilities of Heart-shaped Herb from his father: peak human speed, agility, strength, endurance, healing and senses. He also inherited the powers and abilities of from his mother.
Peak Human Condition: Azari's physical & mental attributes surpass average humans, even Olympic athletes.
Peak Human Senses: Azari’s five senses are highly acute, although not superhumanly. He can see with greater clarity and greater distances than any ordinary human. His vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing him to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. Azari’s hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans can't and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. Azari can memorize tens of thousands of scents. His sense of smell enables him to recognize people/objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent and track them to the exact location, can smell fear, and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor. Azari's sense of taste is sensitive to the point that he is able to taste the exact ingredients of any particular food he is eating.
Peak Human Strength: Azari’s strength is enhanced to the peak of human potential. He received a blessing from the Panther Goddess Bast, which elevated his strength between peak human and superhuman levels. His physical strength is noticeably superior to any Olympic-class weightlifter and far superior to normal humans, allowing him to press lift approximately 800 lbs (363 kgs). His legs extends with his strength enabling him to vertically leap approximately 10 feet off the ground and 15 feet in a standing broad jump. He was able to bulldog a 3000 lb. black rhinoceros, and a 5-ton black rhinoceros. He has been seen to easily lifting a grown man with one arm and throwing him, tearing through a thin wall with just one hand, and wrestling a 20-foot long crocodile while using both of his hands.
Peak Human Stamina: Azari's body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing poisons in his muscles and his musculature generates considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human being, granting him exceptional endurance, and lung capacity. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for an hour before fatigue toxins begin to impair him. His lung capacity is at the peak human levels, enabling him to hold his breath underwater for 6 minutes. He was able to run for 15 miles in the New York sewer with little to no fatigue toxins begin to impair him.
Peak Human Endurance: Azari's endurance is about double that of an Olympic athlete. He continued to function for thirteen hours while fighting Killmonger despite being exhausted.
Peak Human Durability: His skin, muscle, and bone tissues are augmented to levels that are much denser and harder than normal humans, making him far more durable and resistant to damage to various degrees. He withstood getting smashed on his head by a glass bottle with no visible injury or discomfort.
Peak Human Healing: Azari's enhanced healing speed and capabilities allows him to have a conditioned metabolism and immune system that enables extraordinarily efficient healing.
Peak Human Reflexes: Azari's reaction time are beyond the natural limits of an Olympic-level athlete, allowing him to dodge multiple gunfire at point-blank range with ease. He has been noted to have reflexes faster than an actual panther.
Peak Human Agility: Azari's equilibrium, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels superior to any Olympic-level athlete that has ever competed. This gives him cat-like agility. Azari has been seen to run barefoot on utility pole wires, and leap across an entire opera room.
Peak Human Speed: Azari is able to run and move at speeds superior to any Olympic-class runners, able to run at speeds up to 35 mph. However, when pushed to his limit, Azari can potentially run up to 41-45 mph. He also has the ability to attack faster than the eye can follow. His combat speed seems more enhanced than anything else, as he has frequently kept up with other enemies in combat, and blitzed people before they pull their trigger fingers.
Energy Perception: With a blink, Azari can see the physical world around him as energy, including the human body's nervous system, which in turn allows him to counter all but the fastest attack. Added to his already formidable hand-to-hand abilities, this makes him a very tough opponent. Azari has also shown the ability to see in almost complete darkness.
Electromagnetism Manipulation: Azari like his mother can influence electromagnetic fields and energies for various purposes.
Electrokinesis & Fulgurkinesis: Azari can manipulate electricity and lightning like his mother to achieve various offensive, defensive, and supplementary applications.
Electric Blast: Azari can release electricity over a specific target area causing great damage and/or delivering great shock waves of pure force.
Electric Bolt Projection: Azari can create and project bolts of electricity and control the intensity/power of his projectiles, the bolts aren't weak, but they aren't as powerful as a full powered attack. These bolts could be used to stun, burn, injure, or even penetrate/stab the enemy.
Electrokinetic Combat: Azari can infuse his melee combat with electricity to increase his striking power & speed.
Electric Heating: Azari can generate electricity that generates heat as a side-effect which can be use to heat, burn, vaporize, melt, incinerate things.
Electric Vibration: Azari can cause vibrations and oscillations in matter by using electricity.
Electrolysis: Azari has demonstrated the ability to separate water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen via electrolysis, allowing him to breathe underwater
Lightning Calling: Azari can call lightning from the sky to strike an opponent.
Lightning Flash: Azari can create a flash of lightning to blind their enemies. By generating high temperatures to heat up the air molecules to create visible light known as photons and with the help of nitrogen gas, it stimulates luminescence to give lightning its color characteristics.
Fulgurkinetic Teleportation: Azari can teleport via lightning.
Environmental Adaptation: Azari's body automatically adapts to the environment in order to be able to use his powers under any circumstance.
Azari simply wears a black leather trench coat over his Panther Habit as a way to "look cool," idolizing Nick Fury, and reveals that he only carried guns without bullets to intimidate criminals, believing that modern firearms outside Wakanda are and will always be "primitive," unless Wakanda helps the world out. Plus Azari doesn't know how to use one, other than those that his people have built.
