Bast

Bast, or Bastet (Ancient Egyptian: bꜣstjt), is a goddess and Ennead worshiped in Wakanda and Ancient Egypt. Bast is also a member of the Council of Godheads.
==Biography==
===Aiding Bashenga===
According to Wakandan legend, when the five tribes fought for control of Wakanda, Bashenga received a vision from Bast, which led him to the Heart-Shaped Herb, granting him the power to become the king and the first Black Panther. In Wakandan lore, when the soul of a man reaches the afterlife, it is brought by the goddesses Bast and Sekhmet to a mythical green veldt, where they can run freely and in peace for all eternity. T'Chaka believed in this myth, while his son T'Challa apparently did not, until he met his father in the Ancestral Plane.
===Council of Godheads===
In 2025, Bast was present in her human form in Omnipotence City at a meeting of the gods. She witnessed when Thor, Valkyrie, Mighty Thor and Korg sat in seats behind her and as Thor bought warning of the threat posed by Gorr the God Butcher. The other gods, including Bast, led by Zeus, were dismissive, as they were safe in the city beyond Gorr's reach.
