Biography
T’Chala was the prince of the African nation Wakanda and believed he could do everything himself. His father was murdered by Klaw and thus; T’Chala succeeded the throne of Wakanda and also the alias of the Black Panther. T’Chala spent the next three years of his life training himself in fighting and educating himself in some of the world’s greatest schools. Panther attacked the Four’s Freedom Plaza to test his skills. Panther initially had the advantage over the startled four but they eventually gained the upper hand and defeated the king.

After loosing, Panther considered giving up the super hero business, however, Thing talked him out of it. Soon afterwards, Klaw returned and the Fantastic Four and Panther teamed up to fight against the murderer. Klaw was quickly and easily dispatched and Panther showed mercy on the villain and resumed his role as king of Wakanda.

Black Panther apparently later married the X-Man, Storm as she was shown as his queen in a cameo appearance. Black Panther made an appearance when the Silver Surfer was flying around the world, apparently scouting the outer rims of his kingdom for signs of those who might steal his Vibranium.

Panther was also shown to be a member of the first team of Avengers as he appeared in a painting in the Avengers conference room where the founding member’s portraits reside.

Comics
The version of the Panther in the comics was almost identical to hiss appearance in the Fantastic Four show. The only major difference is that he is not shown as being the Avengers’ freelance member as he was in the comics. However, the Avengers were drastically changed for the cartoons so Panther had no real place.
