The Black Panther Title is Stripped From T'Challa in Marvel Comics
Warning: Spoilers for Black Panther #5!
The former King of Wakanda, T’Challa, has been accused of treason against his country, and now he’s been forced to relinquish his status as the iconic Marvel hero known as Black Panther! T’Challa clearing his name and earning back the trust of his people is going to be a tall order to fill, but doing so without the suit and title of Black Panther ensures that things are about to get much harder for him.
Stripped from his title in the pages of Black Panther #5, by John Ridley, Juann Cabal, and Stefano Landini, this issue comes at a time when T’Challa is reeling from the assassination of his best friend, Jhai, and his fellow Wakandan sleeper agents spread out across the world. Realizing that someone from within their ranks must be up to no good as they attempt to destabilize Wakanda and get rid of any loyalists (like T’Challa’s secret agents) that might throw a wrench into their plans, T’Challa and Shuri have little time to mull over their options before an even bigger wrench is tossed into the mix.
