Black Panther is a 1998 comic book ongoing series from Marvel Comics, the third volume of the comic focused on T'Challa, the titular Black Panther. It's written by Christopher Priest, with art by Mark Texeira, and color art by Brian Haberlin.The series is notable for turning Black Panther from the token black guy in the Avengers into, basically, Marvel's Batman, only smarter and cooler. And Christopher Priest did it without messing with continuity or throwing established characterization under the bus. | |

Strong as They Need to Be | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: Christopher Priest mentioned this when writing Black Panther (1998). Depending on the Writer, Panther can hold his own against the entire Fantastic Four and even trade blows with The Thing, or be overpowered and beaten unconscious by random muggers and Mooks. What makes it worse is that the Black Panther's costume is lined with vibranium (the same stuff Captain America's shield is made of), which means he should be able to shrug off blows that would wound or knock out a normal man. | |

The Call Knows Where You Live | |

The Call Knows Where You Live: In Black Panther, the Call dresses up in a kitty suit and runs the most powerful country in the world. And will come and get you, even if you get reassigned to Antarctica. Even if you'd rather stay in Antarctica. It was a really hard decision. | |

| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: Panther and Hunter definitely feel this way about each other, as do Panther and Killmonger. For a while, this was how T'Challa and Tony Stark saw each other was well. T'Chaka and Captain America started out this way, but quickly became friends. There was even a little bit of this starting to show between Killmonger and Kasper, but the book got cancelled before it could really blossom. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: In the very first issue, Ross dismisses the Black Panther as one of the second-string Avengers and questions just how dangerous he can be, which Priest has said was a deliberate reference to the way that prior to the 90s, many fans didn't see the character's worth. Nikki constantly berates Ross for his jumbled narration and inability to stay focused on one story-thread. This was actually an early criticism of Priest's run. | |

Disguised Hostage Gambit | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_5942bb71 | comment |
Disguised Hostage Gambit: T'Challa's ex-girlfriend Monica ends up captured by a Reverend Achebe. The twist is, Achebe tapes Monica's mouth shut and dresses her up in a remote-controlled exoskeleton, making it difficult for T'Challa to stop the plot without hurting or killing her in the process. Effectively, it's this trope crossed with a Human Shield. | |

Future Me Scares Me | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_ba3454a7 | comment |
Future Me Scares Me: One long-running story had a sort of subversion and played straight with. The future Black Panther was an intentional throwback homage to a Silver Age characterization by creator Jack Kirby during Panther's original solo series, which was more light adventure than his at the time serious personality. The problem was that said future Black Panther was at the final stages of a fatal brain aneurysm ailment, losing his mind, and Panther at the time himself was just starting to get the same symptoms. | |

The trope was all over Priest's run, and applied at various times to Nakia, Erik Killmonger, Henry Gyrich, and Nightshade. | |

Non-Standard Character Design | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_c55c31e2 | comment |
Non-Standard Character Design: Future Panther (and his former companions Abner Little and Princess Zanda) are drawn in a distinctly Kirbyesqe style.◊ Other characters are drawn in a more modern style, highlighting how these three are in a very different world. | |

Interchangeable Asian Cultures | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_d5a060a8 | comment |
Interchangeable Asian Cultures: Lampshaded in one issue, where Christopher Priest threw in a dig at the then-recent Iron Fist/Wolverine mini-series. When briefly recounting the ending of the mini (which saw Iron Fist becoming the protector of a group of mythical dragons from K'un Lun that had become stranded in Tokyo), Everett Ross asks why would they leave Chinese dragons in Japan. In a much earlier issue, Ross tries speaking in Cantonese while ordering some Chinese takeout. The owner is completely flummoxed by the order, which causes T'Challa to state that Ross must not realize that the owner is actually Filipino. | |

Only Mostly Dead: In issues #20-22, Black Panther was once killed during a battle with Erik Killmonger. Though his friends were able to (just barely) resuscitate his body, it took Moon Knight venturing into the afterlife to actually bring his spirit back to the realm of the living. | |

Tough Act to Follow | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_f167f5e8 | comment |
Tough Act to Follow: Christopher Priest basically redefined Black Panther in every way and to this day his run is considered by many to be the greatest book Panther has ever had. He was followed by Reginald Hudlin, whose work was immediately hit by the this trope in full force. His run initially outsold Priest's by quite a bit, but as time went on, sales fell sharply. A relaunch stunt involving T'Challa's sister Shuri taking over as the lead didn't do much better, and the title was eventually cancelled under new writer Jonathan Maberry. | |

Running Gag | |
| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag Ross was assigned to keep an eye on Panther for four days. Four. Days. "My loyalty is to Wakanda." "And its king?" "Him too." "No, I am the king of a small African nation." "But of course, as usual, I'm getting ahead of myself." When Ross is unsure of another character's origin story, he claims that they fell into a (sometimes radioactive) vat of Cream of Wheat. He does this several times in quick succession in issue 17 of Priest's run. | |

| Black Panther (1998) (Comic Book) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: You can make a case for this with a lot of the Priest-era villains. Killmonger's a pretty well-meaning guy when it comes to absolutely everything except T'Challa. Magneto and Doom are both presented this way when they show up (and more than a few parallels are drawn between Panther and Magneto). And even Man-Ape only wants what's best for his people. | |
