Article Summary

  • Family betrayals, lost loves, and secret deals reshape Wakanda's future and Black Panther’s bloodline.
  • T'Challa's legacy is explored through unexpected heirs and the shifting power dynamics in Wakanda.

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! The first issue of The World To Come from Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada from Marvel Comics revisited Priest's original run on Black Panther, from Quesada's Marvel Knights, and gave us Ketema, a new Black Panther figure of the future who happened to be white. And got Daily Mail headlines as a result. But who was he? Well, The World To Come #2 reveals the lineage.

With Everett Ross, the CIA fellow played by Martin Freeman in the Marvel movies, marrying Noelle Adams, the sister of Nikki Adams, the former girlfriend of T'Challa.

It's not the best relationship, and it is one that Everett Ross literally walks away from. In the fashion of Michael Douglas in Falling Down

And not even knowing the fate of his wife amidst the chaos.

And for another former partner of T'Challa, Monica Lynne, who was carrying the Black Panther's child, and heir to Wakanda, encountering not what the fates were expecting.

So as the mother of Nikki and Noelle, who has lost both her children, and gained a granddaughter she does not want, with leverage on Wakanda gained from the files of Everett Ross, given the reports of his own death… there is a deal.

The child of Everett Ross, without his knowledge of their existence, is taken to Wakanda.

Raised as a possible heir to those with the leverage to do so. With a lineage that means a lot to T'Challa if not to Wakanda…

As Everett Ross has been found, the deals have been done, the back room sessions came to the fore and we have an origin for Ketema, this "pink Panther"., that no one seemed to be expecting.

The son of Everett Ross, now trying to kill his father. And no one knows who anyone is… The World To Come #2 from Christopher Priest and Joe Quesada is published today from Marvel Comics.
