Black Panther was the first black superhero ever created in the Marvel Comics. Unlike in the comics, Black Panther did not join the Avengers to spy on them but to earn their trust. Fans thought Black Panther died in Operation Galactic Storm, but he returned in Live Kree or Die. Like his comic book counterpart, Black Panther is King of Wakanda and wears a cape when he is sitting on his throne. Notes and references
