More of my "Just Imagine" marvel world... Black Panther
T'Challa T'Chaka was an orphan from New York City. He grew up with his grandmother reading about his father, who had been a political activist, in the family album. T'Challa was a smart kid, especially in geology. He quickly graduated from Empire State's pre-grad program and was on his way to a doctorate in Geology. his minor in political sciences was because of his father.
He took a trip one summer to Africa to study geological findings in the nation of Niganda, where there is a mine of Vibranium, one of the most mysterious metals in the world. There are only two known sources of Vibrainium, asteroids and the mines of Niganda. However, due to unstable leadership and constant tribal warring, the mines of Niganda remain closed, because whoever controls the mines, controls the region.
Traveling there T'Challa attempts to study the mines, however he finds himself distracted by the plight of the people surrounding the mines. For miles and miles around the mines tribes and villages have been subjugated and put under. The war is tearing them all apart. T'Challa, an expert martial artist (his grandmother's way of ensure he never joined a gang), puts down a small convoy of Nigandan soldiers. The villagers begin to regard him as a hero. soon more tales of his bravery and speed spread. They begin to call him "The Black Panther" for his stealth and ferocity. They appoint him the leader of their people. They beg for the right to mine the precious Vibranium ore, and he of course gives no objection. While almost all the men are in the mines, T'Challa teaches the women to fight, so that there is no such thing as "Defenseless".
The years slip by quickly, despite the constant battle to keep the mines running. T'Challa has been named King of a very small nation, which he has named "Wakanda" after the near by mountains. The military is made almost entirely of women, and the Men have become experts at mining, forging, and working Vibranium. The nation is now becoming a major supplier for armor. But the fight is constant, no one wishes this fledgling nation to survive... lead by a man who wanted only to study, and found himself King.
Hmm..it has potential if only for the idea of BlackPanther being a sort of warlord/Rebel. Yet I think he should simply be an African schooled in America.
