T'Challa

Heir to the ruling dynasty of the ancient kingdom of Wakanda, T'Challa became king and Black Panther as a young man and has transformed Wakanda into a high-tech powerhouse. Wary of outside interests that seek to exploit Wakanda's enormous Vibranium deposits, he is a powerful ally but always keeps his home country's interests first and foremost. He is married to Storm but the demands of the X-Men and Wakanda often keep them apart.
