Wakanda Goes To War With Krakoa? (Black Panther Spoilers)

Published Wed, 01 Jun 2022 08:44:11 -0500

Today's Black Panther sees T'Challa on the run from his own people, charged with murder, as Wakanda is in political turmoil. With his pursuers instructed to shoot to kill. Another day in international politics. Which is why the arrival of Storm, Queen of the Solar System, and former wife of T'Challa is welcome… in the circumstances.

Though she still has a few issues with Wakanda embedding sleeper agents within Krakoa and the X-Men. But now that T'Challa is on the outs with Wakanda,, she is defending him, with all the geopolitical consequences that brings,…

… Wakanda must plan for war against Krakoa. The two states have not had the easiest of history. Wakanda didn't sign up to the initial Krakaon diplomatic protocols over medical aid, declaring that Wakanda was in no need of mutant drugs.

And yes, there was fhe X Of Swords conflict that saw Storm steal a weapon and Wakanda burn its Krakoan gateway. So there is recent stuff to throw into the fact that T'Challa declared he was divorced from Ororo with the authority of a king. Of course, these days, she outranks him on a global scale. As Regent of Sol, he is her subject, as are all of Wakanda.

Of course, they may not see it that way. Will Wakanda go to war with Krakoa? Maybe we should check in with some other realties. House Of XCII #2 shows a Storm who is part of the Quiet Council of Krakoa defending it from Saturday Morning Cartoon Sentinels.

While in Avengers Forever #6, a Black Panther with the origin of Superman and the powers of Spider-Man faces down a Killmonger with the powers of the Destroyer. And in the process gets quite the upgrade…. you wouldn't want to be on the other side of this Black Panther. Powers of a Suprman as well as the origin to match?
