After the death of his father, TāChalla claimed the throne and the role of Black Panther. He was exposed to a mystical herb that enhanced his strength and agility to near-superhuman levels. Upon meeting the Fantastic Four, TāChalla chose to use his powers to help all of humanity, despite Wakanda being traditionally isolationist. He relocated to New York City to fulfill his new role.
