List of Black Panther supporting characters

This is a list of Black Panther supporting characters.

Black Panthers

These are the known Black Panthers besides T'Challa:

  • T'Chaka: T'Challa's father and the previous Black Panther and King of Wakanda. He was killed by Ulysses Klaw.
  • S'Yan: The uncle of T'Challa and the brother of T'Chaka.
  • Shuri: T'Challa's sister. She has taken up the role of Black Panther and is current ruler of Wakanda after T'Challa was badly injured by Doctor Doom.

Allies

  • Ramonda: T'Challa's caring stepmother and biological mother of Shuri.
  • Monica Lynne: A singer who saved T'Challa from drowning after being bested by Killmonger. His longest love interest, whom he pledged eternal devotion towards.
  • Everett K. Ross: A U.S. State Department employee, whose job was to escort foreign diplomats on American soil. His world changed forever when he was assigned to T'Challa, the Black Panther, the ruler of Wakanda.
  • N'Gassi: Adviser to T'Challa, acting regent when he goes away on missions.
  • Okoye: One of the former Dora Milaje, a ceremonial betrothed/bodyguard of T'Challa. Okoye is of the J'Kuwali tribe and acted as a traditional, proper concomitant to the king, speaking only to the king and only in Hausa, an African language widely spoken in Wakanda and thus affording the king and his wives a measure of privacy.
  • Queen Divine Justice: Ce'Athauna Asira Davin is the street-smart queen of the Jabari tribe of Wakanda raised in Chicago, and former Dora Milaje of T'Challa. She originally went by the name Chanté Giovanni Brown.[1]
  • Storm: Ororo Iqadi T'Challa (née Munroe), a member of the X-Men; she was the Black Panther's wife and Queen of Wakanda but the marriage was later annulled.
  • W'Kabi: T'Challa's competent second-in-command, completely loyal to his liege.
  • Zuri: A grumpy and gigantic elderly warrior. A close friend of the late T'Chaka, and one of T'Challa's most trusted advisers.
  • Azari: Son of Black Panther and Storm and future Black Panther from the Earth-555326 timeline.

Antagonists

  • Achebe (later known as Reverend Achebe): A poor farmer somewhere in South Africa, Achebe sold his soul to the demon Mephisto. He is portrayed as a grinning, unpredictable, lunatic, warrior-mystic, regularly talking to his hand-puppet Daki with delusions that it is truly alive.
  • Erik Killmonger: A powerful warrior and strategic genius in politics and economics.
  • Kiber the Cruel: A scientist who gained the ability to absorb the psionic consciousness/life forces of human beings.

  • Man-Ape: Ruler of the Jabari Tribe, a recognized micronation within Wakanda's borders. Founding member of the "Pan African Congress on the Treatment of Superhumans".
  • Venomm: A man who can control the behavior of snakes through training, chemicals, and apparently some form of psionic influence
