T'Challa was a brave prince of Wakanda and the son of its ruler, King T'Chaka. During the ceremony at Vienna, a terrorist named Helmut Zemo (disguised as the Winter Soldier) attacked the building. This bombing caused T'Challa's father T'Chaka to die. He blamed Bucky Barnes as the killer of his father. Later, T'Challa attacked on Barnes as the Black Panther, but they were both caught by the police.
Barnes was later prisoned into a prison on Berlin, Germany. But later, a terrorism happened again. Zemo attacked on the prison and let Barnes escape the prison but he failed. He escaped. T'Challa joined Stark's team together with Black Widow, War Machine, Vision, and a new recruited member named Peter Parker who was known as Spider-Man.
Stark challenged Rogers to fight in an airport in Flughafen Leipzig-Halle, Schkeuditz, Germany. But Rogers escaped together with Winter Soldier. Stark prisoned Rogers' members and he realized that Rogers is right. He already knew that Zemo is the enemy. He later went to Siberia, Russia to find and team up with Rogers and Barnes. T'Challa followed Stark secretly.
Zemo later gave a CCTV footage of Winter Soldier killing Stark's parents, Howard Stark and Maria Stark. Stark fight with Rogers and Barnes. While they fight, T'Challa caught Zemo, the killer of his father, King T'Chaka. After the battle, no one wins. They were both a tie. Cap leaves his shield to Stark. Bucky's bionic left hand was destroyed. Stark's armor was destroyed too. Later, T'Challa helped and joined forces with Rogers and Barnes.
In 2024, T'Challa would die due to an unspecified illness, posthumously passing the Black Panther mantle to his sister, Shuri.
