History
T'Challa was born in the isolated kingdom of Wakanda to King T'Chaka and his wife N'Yami. Wakanda was an isolationist kingdom located in Africa that survived for a thousand years. Thanks to their isolation, the country was never affected by outsiders that invaded and conquered the continent. The reason for their isolationist policy was to protect the sacred metal known as vibranium, a nearly indestructible metal stronger than steel. And as a result of vibranium, Wakanda secretly became the most advanced country in the world. To the rest of the world, however, the kingdom is just a third world country. T'Challa was taught royal and national duties when he turned five. Then, he learned about vibranium and its origins at the age of six. Eventually, he found out about The Black Panther when he was ten. T'Chaka told him that the Black Panther was the protector of Wakanda and Vibranium. The few outsiders that knew of its existence wanted to steal the metal for their own selfish goals. When T'Challa asked to become a Black Panther, it was when his training begun. He spent weeks in the jungles learning to live off of the land like an actual Black Panther. Then, he was taught the basics of fighting and stealth thanks in part to the Dora Milaje, Wakandan royal bodyguard made up entirely of women.
When T'Challa was almost sixteen, some outsiders entered Wakanda with the intent to steal Vibranium. One of them was Ulysses Klaue, the relative of Firtz Klaue and famous black-market arms dealer and hired assassin in South Africa. T'Challa was made protector of Wakanda and almost became the new Black Panther; however, he still needed to do one thing. He needed to beat his own father and six of the greatest warriors in Wakanda. The fight lasted for hours, but T'Challa was the victor. With honor, he was officially made protector and given a Heart-Shaped Herb. It was a powerful plant that gives enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance, durability, healing, and senses to people that take it. With all of his training, he used it against Ulysses during the night time in South Africa. However, he was caught off guard and knocked out cold. T'Challa was beaten and tortured for days until T'Chaka and the Dora Milaje found him. It had turned out that Ulysses was training a private army to invade Wakanda in order to steal vibranium and he tried to get information out of T'Challa. Of course, the private army was technologically outmatched and lost to the Black Panther and his friends; however, Ulysses had hired help. The assassin distracted T'Challa while T'Chaka dealt with Ulysses. Despite taking the Heart-Shaped Herb, he wasn't any match for the young Ulysses and got stabbed.
Consumed by vengeance and anger, T'Challa pounced on Ulysses and started attacking him. He took the sword and cut off Ulysses' arm before leaving a massive claw mark on his face. Okoye was the one to stop T'Challa for striking the killing blow. He couldn't believe that his father was gone because he let himself get captured. Returning to Wakanda with the body of the former king was hard for everyone. However, the world kept spinning around and T'Challa had to step up. He was crowned King of Wakanda and became the official Black Panther shortly after. As for the world, they only know that King T'Chaka died of natural causes. T'Challa spent his first years as ruler understanding the Tribal Council and dealing with the White Gorilla Cult. M'Baku, the greatest warrior in the Jabari Tribe, led an attack on the royal palace to force T'Challa to give up the throne. He had managed to kill a rare white gorilla living in the jungles and bath in its blood. Then, he ate the gorilla's flesh and developed superhuman strength. M'Baku became known as the White Gorilla and challenged T'Challa to a duel. He was nearly beaten to death before being declared the victor. T'Challa was left to die in the jungle and visited the ancestral plane. He was able to meet with his father and expressed his regrets for failing. T'Chaka helped him move forward with his life as ruler and the Black Panther.
Then, he woke up. The Black Panther spent days wandering the jungle until he eventually got out of there; however, he realized that he wasn't in Wakanda. Instead, he ended up in the small country of Zambesian, a neighboring country. He stumbled upon stories of a woman with the ability to mimic animals like a lion or an elephant and that she was delivering justice to poachers. T'Challa knew that someone with that power was enough to match M'Baku in strength and tracked her down. That was when he met Vixen. She knew that he was the King of Wakanda and wondered why he was here. After explaining the situation to her, she expressed sympathy because her father, President Richard Jiwe, was killed in a coup d'etat. Vixen agreed for T'Challa to stay at her place to prepare to take back his nation. The Black Panther was rightfully cautious about revealing the truth of Wakanda to a stranger. However, there wasn't any choice and needed her help. Once they arrived and landed in the city of Birnin Zana, Shuri and N'Yami met up with them and went to the Royal Palace. All of them fought against the White Gorilla and his supporters. Vixen joined shortly with the Black Panther and managed to finally beat M'Baka. He respectfully accepted his rule and withdrew for the throne. The fighting had ended and Vixen confronted the Black Panther about the reason to hide all of this for the world.
He said that Wakanda needed to protect both vibranium and themselves for outsiders. She said how vibranium and their technological advancements would benefit the world—especially her home country and Africa. Suddenly, news reached them that New York City was under attack by the Silver Surfer. Everyone watched as superheroes fought a losing battle until his equal match arrived. Without him, the heroes might have died fighting. Vixen asked T'Challa if he was planning on resuming the isolationist policy.
He only said, "No."

Powers And Abilities
Thanks to the Heart-Shaped Herb, T'Challa was given enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance, durability, healing, and senses. The Panther Habit gives him additional protection against firearms and collisions, but the suit doesn't protect him from electrocution and magic. He wears a pair of sound absorbing sneakers that T'Challa personally requested and his claws can break down most metals at ease. And it is capable of absorbing and manipulating energy for various purposes; however, it's a prototype that no-one has tested yet. All of the suit is stored in the teeth of a ceremonial necklace. In order to wear it, he has to be mentally command it. The one weakness that the herb has is that bright lights, loud noises, & strong smells can overwhelm him if he isn't wearing special products designed to deal with the problem.
But, his suit isn't the only important thing about T'Challa. He was taught by the best martial artists and acrobats in Wakanda in order to be worthy of becoming the Black Panther. Thanks to his father, King of Wakanda, he was taught to become the next leader. Eventually, he became one of the best tacticians in the country thanks to Okoye. And he was taught English along with various languages.
What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?
I want to focus on the political aspects in a world filled with super powered individuals. King T'Challa, ruler of Wakanda and the Black Panther, is the perfect character to explore that aspect. And with that, I am planning on using elements in a nation roleplay game. If you don't know what are nation roleplays, it is where a person creates and controls a country and they will interact with other countries. And if you are still confused, then I suggest taking a look at Precipice of War to understand what I am doing.
Of course, you will still see the Black Panther kicking ass and taking names. I want to explore the politics in a world where there are superheroes. With the Silver Surfer attacking the Raft, people are demanding the governments of the world to react. Wakanda will offer some comfort to those worried thanks to that shiny metal known as Vibranium. As a result of their isolationist policy, the hidden capital city of Birnin Zana will be revealed to outsiders for the first time. And they will offer their advanced technologies and vibranium to the world in preparation of another Silver Surfer situation.
Meanwhile, T'Challa will have to deal with his ruling his country while protecting it as the Black Panther. He doesn't want people to think that the Black Panther is like Superman. He just wants to protect Wakanda and only Wakanda. And he doesn't trust outsiders, especially those with super powers besides Vixen (sort of). Season Two, however, will show him that he can't live forever like that. He has to put faith and trust in the outsiders to face new threats and challenges. And Vixen is the only outsider to guide him towards success.

The Black Panther was crouching to bend with the jungle scenery during the night. He was watching a camp that traffickers had set up on the side of a dirt road. There were at least a dozen men with AK-47s and two machine guns mounted on jeeps with several captives in one of the trucks. After a few minutes of observing the camp, the Black Panther hopped down and went further into the jungle until he met with the White Gorilla and Vixen. They were waiting for the Panther's return.
"What did you see?" Vixen asked.
"A dozen men with weapons, two machine guns mounted, and the captives in a truck northwest of the camp." the Black Panther answered. "When you hear the signal, come in and join. Got it?"
Both of them nodded and the Black Panther went back towards the edge of the jungle. He then noticed two guys nearby as one of them was zipping up his pants. They were talking about the payment for giving the captives and what they were going to spend it on. Suddenly, they heard something hitting a tree and turned in panic. Their guns aimed at the jungle. One of them turned on his flashlight and went to investigate the noise while the other one decided to head for camp instead. Then, he heard noises in the tree and pointed his flashlight up there. And the Black Panther was sitting on the bench like an actual panther. Before the man could react, the Panther pounced on him.
After returning to camp, the guy noticed that his buddy wasn't with him and asked the captain to check on him. The captain annoyedly grabbed his radio and questioned the man's location. But he didn't get an answer. A second later, they heard one of the vehicles getting hit by something. Everyone ran towards the source of the sound and found the man nearby a vehicle with the right side crushed. Immediately, the captain ordered everyone to defend the captives while telling two men to use the machine guns. One of the men ran towards the machine gun and was about to get on. However, he felt a swift kick that caused him to fall to the ground.
The Black Panther landed in front of two men and they opened fire. Thanks to the suit, their guns were useless and he easily knocked them out cold. He grabbed the AK-47 and threw it towards the other gun running to the jeep. For there, it was an easy fight. The captain watched in horror as his men were getting beaten one by one and ordered a man to help him get out. They got into the car and saw that the keys were ignition. With a simple turn, the car started up and drove away without the captives. After knocking the final guy out with a car door, the Black Panther watched as a car was leaving the camp. He placed his fingers on his communicator and simply said, "Stop them."
As the car turned into the dirt road, they were horrified about the event that took place seconds ago. Then, a woman appeared in front of them as she placed her hand on her necklace. The aura of an elephant appeared as the woman struck her hands out to stop the car. The driver laughed at her attempt and stepped hard on the pedal in the hopes of running her over. Unfortunate for them, she was able to stop the car as her hands pressed against the car hood. Out of nowhere, a guy dressed as a white gorilla rushed towards the car. Before they could respond with gun fire, they saw some kind of disk landing on the hood and shutting the car off. Another man dressed like a black panther torn off the car door and grabbed the driver. The captain watched as the driver was thrown far away from the dirt road. Before he knew it, he was knocked out by the White Gorilla and pulled out of the car.
Vixen walked towards the captain to make sure that it was him. The White Gorilla looked at her and asked, "Is this him?"
"Yes." she answered with a satisfying tone. She went to freed the captives while the Black Panther went as the White Gorilla was dealing with the captain. After telling them that they were free in their native language, she looked up at the sky to see that the aircraft had arrived. The Black Panther and the White Gorilla (who is carrying the captain) arrived as the captives were smiling at their freedom. Then, they all looked up at the ship as it flew away and faded into the night sky.
