Abilities: Whoever holds the Black Panther mantle in Wakanda, currently King T'Challa, is given heightened abilities after eating the Heart-Shaped Herb. He has superhuman strength, speed, durability, agility, stamina, healing, and reflexes.

T'Challa is also a master martial artist and tactician. His Black Panther suit is weaved with near-indestructible Vibranium that can absorb kinetic energy, such as blasts or punches, and repurpose it as a counter-attack.

Power scale: 8. Black Panther's strength and enhanced abilities are on par with those granted by Captain America's Super Soldier Serum. His fighting style is graceful and acrobatic, which sets him apart from many of our other heroes — as does his quiet, intense resilience. Even when he was caught off guard without his suit in "Civil War," he was essentially equal to Winter Soldier in hand-to-hand combat. With the energy-absorbing suit that made its debut in "Black Panther," he's nearly invulnerable.
