Black Panther: The Powers of T’Challa Explained

The trailer of Black Panther proved to us that T’Challa was not to be taken lightly. But where does he get his powers? Ryan Coogler and Kevin Feige tell us a bit more.
If there is one thing that can not be blamed for the very first teaser trailer of Black Panther , it is to lack of striking images! Between two mind-blowing glimpses of the Wakanda and two appearances of the famous Dora Milaje, T’Challa, the eponymous hero of the film, gives us the full view by sending mercenaries and jumping from one car to another. And it’s without counting his costume that pushes the balls! If Black Panther will a priori not a film backgrounds – we have already seen the superhero donning his outfit in Captain America: Civil War – he will have us still says two or three small essentials. So start with the origin of his powers! Because yes, T’Challa may not be like Thor or Vision but he possesses rather impressive mystical abilities. Those who are fans of the character already know clearly from where he draws his power. But for others, the source of these powers remains perhaps a little obscure. Fortunately, Ryan Coogler, the director of Black Panther , and Kevin Feige, the boss of Marvel Studios, are there to give you some directions!
And the first thing to know about this is that, to play the heroes, T’Challa benefits from the use of one of Wakanda’s most incredible resources: the Vibranium . You know, this is the very rare metal that is partly made up of Captain America’s shield. The costume of Black Panther, which we have been able to detail on the recent poster of the film , is composed of Vibranium, which is therefore only found in Wakanda. But that’s not all ! His other capacities, T’Challa also draws them … of the Mystical Grass in the shape of a heart , which possesses a very spiritual dimension and which is probably related to Vibranium. Kevin Feige explains to Entertainment Weekly: Those who have read the comics know the Mystic Grass in the form of a heart and the ceremonies attached to it. It is partly spiritual. We do not call it magic, but the Vibranium has intermingled with the ground and the earth [of Wakanda] for thousands of years, so there are other things that need to be taken into account. “According to the comics, the Vibranium would indeed originate from a meteorite that would have crashed on Earth thousands of years earlier, and it could be that the metal caused a mutation of a certain plant, Creation of the Mystic Grass. Then there are other things that must be taken into account. “According to the comics, the Vibranium would indeed originate from a meteorite that would have crashed on Earth thousands of years earlier, and it could be that the metal caused a mutation of a certain plant, Creation of the Mystic Grass.

And it is this grass that has allowed all Black Panther in Wakanda history to develop incredible physical abilities ! The director of the film clarifies a few points, pointing out to Entertainment Weekly: ” It is thanks to the Mystic Grass that Black Panther acquires his powers and can fight on equal terms with Cap, who is a super-soldier. Has a tenfold physical power and sharper instincts that give it improved abilities . ” In short, Black Panther is clearly not to be taken lightly! Then the wicked would do well to distrust. Of course, chances are that Erik Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan), who is part of the Black Panther trailer that should not be missed , Also uses the Mystic Grass. After all, if he wants to be a tall opponent of T’Challa, he must have at least the same kind of power! And you, did you know?
