Since some of yall nikkas clearly don't know what's up, here's a breakdown of what T'Challa is capable of as of today:
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Upon becoming chief of the Panther Clan and king of Wakanda, T'Challa was entitled to eat the ceremonial Wakandan
Heart-shaped Herb, which provided him with enhanced strength, endurance, and reflexes. The herb also heightened his senses to superhuman levels. Later blessings from the
Panther Goddess elevated his enhanced strength, endurance, and reflexes to superhuman levels.
- Superhuman Senses: After consuming the herb T'Challa's sense of sight, hearing, and smell was enhanced to superhuman levels. His superhuman senses enables him to see within complete darkness and hear sounds that an ordinary human can not. T'Challa has memorized thousands of scents and is proficient in tracking them. His sense of smell is powerful enough to allow him to smell fear and detect if someone is lying, by sensing a change in their body odor.
- Superhuman Strength: The Heart-shaped Herbenhanced T'Challa's physical strength to the pinnacle of human perfection, which allowed him to lift upward to 800 lbs and demonstrate exceptional feats of strength such as stopping a charging adult elephant in its tracks. Since then, T'Challa has received a blessing from the Panther Goddess, which elevated his enhanced strength to superhuman levels.
- Superhuman Agility (reflexes): T'Challa's agility, balance, and bodily coordination were also heightened to the pinnacle of human development. His reaction time is far superior to most opponents, which allows him to evade attacks from potential enemies.
- Superhuman Stamina: Years of conditioning and training, combined with the effects of the Heart Shaped Herb, allows T'Challa to exert his body to higher degrees of stress.
- Superhuman Durability: T'Challa's ability to endure and resist damage is exceptionally high. His body can withstand powerful crushing blows and puncture wounds. The effects of the Heart Shaped Herb, combined with the blessing from the Panther Goddess, allows T'Challa to heal at an accelerated rate far superior to the average man. He also possesses a nigh-invulnerability to various diseases, poisons, virus/bacteria, etc.
- King of the Dead: As of late, T'Challa has given up his title as Wakanda Monarch to and has since then become the ruler of Wakanda's City of the Dead (The Necropolis). As "King of the Dead", he has the ability to gain knowledge centuries old, as he now possesses the knowledge of every king/queen that has ever been laid to rest in the Necropolis and apparently anyone he personally kills.
Abilities
- Genius-level Intellect: T'Challa is a master tactician, physicist, and engineer. He has been groomed in battle tactics since his youth by his father, who encouraged him to always think two steps ahead of his enemies and three steps ahead of his friends. His exceptional tactical prowess has enabled him to out maneuver individuals such as Reed Richards, Tony Stark, and Dr. Doom. T'Challa's knowledge of physic and engineering ranks him among the top eight intellects of the world. He has proven to be able to invent weaponry that rivals his peers engineering capabilities such as: Kimoyo, the Quinjet, and most notably "Shadow Physics," which combines alchemy and science. T'Challa (along with Reed Richards) was able to reverse engineer (and recreate) multiple interdimensional bombs capable of destroying entire planets.
- Master Combatant: T'Challa has been groomed to be a warrior since birth. He is a master in practically all forms of armed and unarmed combat, having mastered various styles of martial art from around the world. He is a formidably skilled swordsman and often wields daggers, spears, and has even wielded theEbony Blade. T'Challa is widely considered to be one of top martial artists in the world. He has stalemated, and at times even gained the upper hand, against various highly skilled martial artist such as:Iron Fist, Captain America, Daredevil etc. in combat.

Weapons and Equipment
As royalty of a technological advance nation, T'Challa has access to some of the most advance technologies in the world. As a proud warrior, he primarily relies on his keen intellect and combat prowess, but will often use a few key gadgets.
- Kimoyo Card: an extremely powerful portable supercomputer invented by T'Challa. It has the ability to access/hack technological interfaces via Wakandan satellites.
- Anti-Metal Claws: retractable golden vibranium claws that allow its wielder to cut through various metals by breaking it down on a molecular level.
- Projectiles: T'Challa possess non-lethal (gelatin/rubber) and lethal projectiles that are usually fired from his gauntlets. However, they are sometimes depicted firing from his claws or Energy Daggers.
- Energy Daggers: energy constructed blades. The wielder has the ability to gauge between power levels, releasing a beam, powerful enough to slice through various structures and foe. This weapon can also be fired as a projectile. Energy daggers are T'Challa's default weapon of choice in armed combat situations.
- Boots: vibranium-based boots that allow T'Challa to scale great heights with little effort. This combined with his enhanced panther-like reflexes allows T'Challa to leap and land from great heights without sustaining injury. Using his vibranium boots, he can sometimes skim through water and cling to walls.
- Energy Shield: Wakandan tech that creates a shield constructed of energy
Panther Habit (Vibranium Suit)
As chieftain of the Wakandan Panther Clan, the ruler is crowned with a ceremonial regalia in the form of a vibranium laced panther habit. T'Challa received this crown after being judged by the Panther God. This uniform has the ability to absorb vibrations via its vibranium lacing. It also has the ability to negate and/or lessen powerful kinetic based attacks such as bullets shots, penetrating blades, and crushing blows. The lenses in the mask cut glare and enhance the Panther's natural night vision. It also allows him to see in infra-red and other visual spectrum. The suit features cloaking technology.
