Abilities:
Thanks to the Heart Shaped Herb , T'Challa has enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance, healing and senses. All of these attributes have been raised to near superhuman levels. With his enhanced senses the Black Panther can see in complete and total darkness as if it was bright as day, and can see something 100 feet as if it were right in front of him. With his sense of smell he can track someone across a continent with his sense of smell, memorize tens of thousands of smells and can detect fear lies in a person. He can hear things that normal humans can't as well as sounds that they can, but at a distance not possible with normal ears. He can hear the breathing and heartbeats of enemies. With his sense of taste he can determine any ingredients in anything he eats. He can use his senses together to sometimes predict his opponent's moves ahead of time.
The Heart Shaped Herb also created a connection between T'Challa and the Panther God, the deity his people worship. On top of all his powers, T'Challa is a skilled martial artist. He learned to fight both at home (from the best warriors in Wakanda) and abroad. When he was still a teenager he traveled the whole world to learn various skills, some academic and others focused on physical combat.
Captain America entered Wakanda during World War Two on a search-and-destroy mission. He was hunting Nazis who were out to exploit Wakandan science. Cap didn't know the Wakandans had already beheaded the Nazis days ago. Black Panther (Azzari the Wise)and Cap had an extended hand-to-hand battle. And Cap lost.
In addition to all his physical strengths, the Black Panther is an intellectual giant, he's one of the eight smartest people on the planet and in the marvel universe. Not only is he recognized for his brilliance by his peers across the seas, he's one of the smartest of his own people, which is impressive considering that his nation holds some of the smartest people in the world.
T'Challa is a scientist, an engineer, an inventor, a aviator, a weapons designer and a tactical and strategical genius. It is T'Challa who designed the Avengers Quinjet, and the Wakanda Design Group built it. T'Challa is also the religious leader of his people. He has access to the wisdom of the previous Wakandan chieftains, whose souls dwell in the Panther Pavilion, a holy temple within the city. Once he even encountered and fought the embodiment of his God/Tribal Totem The Panther God when it manifested to test his worthiness to remain the tribal leader and to also punish him for maintaining a policy of neutrality toward South Africa during Apartheid in the 1980's.
What's hidden behind the mask:
Personality: As king of Wakanda, T'Challa has brought electronics and industrialization to his country without destroying the small African nation's traditions or ancient values. His calm, regal bearing is apparent to even casual observers.

History: The Black Panther is the ruler of Wakanda. Citizens of the country are members of a spiritually-based warrior cult, which gives the leader of the country spiritual, political and military authority. The Panther is a hereditary title, but one still has to earn it. The series of test that a Panther must pass are so arduous that only candidates who've had special training from childhood can qualify. But just so everyone gets a chance, once a year there's a day when any Wakandan can challenge the king for the throne. T'Challa being the son of T'Chaka put him in line to be the next King of Wakanda and Black Panther, but even as young super genius T'Challa was not yet ready to become the leader of the nation, but felt his childhood ended the day his father die and that it was time to start act as a King would. So S'yan, T'Chaka's young brother & T'Challa's uncle under took the Black Panther trials. S'yan passed and became the Black Panther. During his youth, T'Challa while on his Wakandan Walkabout/Rite of passage met and fell in love with apparent orphaned teen named Ororo Munroe, and later known as a member of the X-Men, Storm. The two broke off there relationship off due to his need to avenge his father’s death & to become the type of man who could lead the nation of Wakanda, but they would see each other over the years when they could. After studying Wakanda young T'Challa traveled around the world to learn, study and train.
He returned home once he felt that he was ready to lead the country. At 19 years old, T'Challa, wearing a mask, challenged the then Black Panther & King (his uncle S'yan) and beat him in fair combat. After that T'Challa was required to take the rest of the Black Panther trials such as defeating the various champions of the 18 Wakandan tribes, being judged & found worthy by the Panther God / Bast. Next the Heart Shaped Herb/Heart of Wakanda was applied to his body and ingested by him (the process would kill any person who was unworthy or not a member of the royal line) and that process also link him to Bast. The competition of Panther trials made him a superhuman granting him has enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance, healing, memory and senses (sight/vision, hearing, smell, etc).
The Black Panther began as a warrior king in Africa and now serves as the protector of Hell's Kitchen.
A huge meteorite made with the mineral known as Vibranium crashed in Wakanda. T‘Chaka then King of Wakanda , knew outsiders would manipulate or destroy Wakanda for this valuable resource. So King T'Chaka concealed his country from the outside world. T‘Chaka's 1st wife & T’Challa 'sbirth mother N'Yami died while in labor with T’Challa. So T'Challa was raised by his father & his father's 2nd wife Ramonda/Queen Mother. That is until explorer Ulysses Klaw found his way to Wakanda and created a vibranium-powered, sound-based weapon. When Klaw was discovered he then killed King T’Chaka. His son T’Challa who was just a boy turned this sound weapon on Klaw and destroyed Klaw’s right hand. Klaw and his men fled Wakanda and swearing to return one day.
To test his powers, fighting skill, & genius King T'Challa invited the American superhero team the Fantastic Four to Wakanda, then he attacked, neutralized & defeated them individually. Once T'Challa apologized for attacking them & explained he also wanted to test the team to see if they could be an effective ally against Klaw & his mercenaries they all became fast friends and allies. The more Wakanda became a technological global power, the more T'Challa realized the threats of the outside world. While developing nuclear weaponry inside Wakanda, he began to invite super-powered people to his country, as well as infiltrate groups like the Avengers in an effort to test the limitations of their abilities. Although once he found out what kind of people they were, T'Challa saw them as allies as well as friends. Even so, he only allowed most members of the Avengers to know him as Luke Charles, an American teacher romantically involved with a singer named Monica Lynne.
Walk with me my son.
The young T'challa looked to his father, the wise king of Wakanda.
I will show you the secrets of our people, I will show you the way of the Black Panther.
T'challa rose in his bed, looking to the far end of the room. "Father-" T'challa said stopping, then relaxing back to his bed. T'challa knew his father had been dead many years, and he accepted the fact that what was done was done. But the dreams- the nightmares of his father's death lingered on. "T'challa, late to rise I see." T'challa turned his head to his Mother, who entered the room gracefully.
"Mother." T'challa acknowledged. "Why will you not talk to the people?" His Mother pleaded him, "They need the Black Panther again." T'challa turned from his Mother, and stood from his bed. He paced across the room away from her. "The people." T'challa repeated, "Why can they not see what their king needs?"
His Mother lowered her eyes.
"Oh, my son, I know a boy should not be without his father." She said, "It is a dreadful truth, but a truth it still remains." "Mother, this doesn't have anything to do with that." T'challa said, "I can't help them anymore-!" "Oh, but you can-!" His Mother said, "The Panther always helps."
T'challa frowned, and again turned from her. "Not this time." T'challa said, "This time, he can only hurt those whom he loves. Don't ask me about the Panther again. I will not venture there again." The Queen Mother, T'challa's Mother, looked at him with sad eyes. "You will see the truth before the end." She said.
T'challa reached the door of his room.
