His fighting style is often a mix of Leopard-Style Kung-Fu, Capoeira, and Muai Thai, though he can and will switch to something different if he deems necessary. Intelligence - While not being as intelligently gifted as his father, he is still a remarkably smart individual, as a future(now present) King should be. It can be considered to be on par with someone with gifted intelligence, such as Nikolai Fury, but not quite at the Genius level. He has the mental discipline enough to resist mental control to a higher level than most. Being trained all his life to be a king, and with the line of intelligence passed to him, he is a natural-born leader, albeit still very distant. Heightened Senses - Due to his training, possessing the X-gene, he possesses senses that are animistic in nature. T'zarri can see and hear clearly for several miles, catch a scent without losing it in most cases, and taste things on a molecular level. Further, with the heart-shaped herb's enhancements, he can see in pitch-black darkness, hear the heartbeats of any other organisms in his immediate vicinity and distinguish between them for their unique heart patterns. Supernatural Agility/Dexterity - Another instance of T'zarri's being a mutant, is his level of agility. While his father was agile in his own right, he can easily be comparable or even eclipse someone such as The Spider. In tandem with his level of muscle control, his reflexes and speed are augmented to superhuman levels, making him a difficult target to hit. Enhanced Durability/Endurance - While originally only being a bit more durable than normal humans, the herb's effects have given him enhanced durability just as his father. This allows him to take several tons of force while still retaining consciousness and functionality. It also allows him to withstand large levels of pain without giving in to it, in part due to his mental discipline and willpower. Current Strength Level - 14 Tons Beginner-Level Lightning Manipulation - Being that he somewhat inherited abilities from both parents, he has also gained a portion of his mother's ability to control electricity and lightning. The extent of this ability is unknown however, as it has only recently manifested. Drawbacks - T'Zarri is still a human male, vulnerable to the weather, starvation, dehydration, bloodloss, extreme pressures, and other typical human weaknesses. Biography: T'zarri is the 20 year old Prince of Wakanda, named after his grandfather "Azzari the Wise". At an early age, he was very much influenced by his father when it came to a desire to be a good ruler to his people. As required of an heir to Wakanda's throne, he was sent through the best schools that Wakanda could offer. His father was critically crippled in a battle with a robotic-alien race from the sky known as the Mekkans. It was a victory for Wakanda as well as the earth, but at the cost of a disease plaguing him, known only as the Techno-Organic Virus. There seemed to be no palpable that they could find for this virus. Yet with the technological advancement of Wakanda, they had managed to prolong his lifespan to a year and a half in extension. Being that his father, T’challa, lost his own father due to similar circumstances, T'zarri had been heavily trained for dire situations and to prepare to become the next King of Wakanda. The latter margin of his teenage years, unfortunately had been lost in this training. Due to this, he had inherited his father's colder and reserved personality. His mother, Ororo, although heavily saddened herself, still did what she could to comfort both of them. With his father’s time running thin, he is currently unable to perform the combative duties of a Black Panther. As such, T’Zarri had taken up the ceremony to become the Black Panther, in his father’s place, but not as King quite yet. This had made this the first and only instance in which the Black Panther role is separate from the Wakandan King. He tends to be well-respected by what would soon be his people to look after. Some aren’t necessarily happy with his being the Black Panther, as he isn’t truly the King or necessarily ready to be so. A recent decision of the King and Queen, was that T’zarri was to be placed on the team that SHIELD was setting up, at least part time. T’challa saw this as an opportunity for T’zarri to learn more about the outside world, as well as to keep him grounded and humble. This would hopefully keep him from getting corrupt with the power that a King of their position has. Though..there's another piece of the story that he will have to decipher on his own one day soon.
