In regards to his abilities, comic wise (and film to a lesser extent).
I actually don't care too much for the whole peak human stuff, since every black character created tends to be relegated to that or be that "street level" type. (Blade, BP, Falcon, black Nick Fury, Luke Cage w/ exceptions, etc). The others like War Machine or Blue Marvel are pretty much after thoughts, in recent years anyway.
So i'd like to see BP be more than just an athletic guy who knows karate. I've always had 2 trains of thought with him:
One path is i would want him to be hi-tech; not in an iron man sort of way but as in hacking, stealth, cloaking, etc. I love his kimoyo card and would want him to be able to hack any machine robot cyborg, security cam or computer, even if temporarily before any of the defense systems of the more high-tech hack victims kicked in. I'd want it to be able to fukk with Iron Man's systems and have Stark genuinely concerned/awed at how capable BP's all-encompassing tech-card is. I'd also want cloaking and other stealth aspects... like an actual damn black panther at night, in the jungle, stalking it's prey who can't see shyt, b/c the panther is all but invisible until shyt is too late. That plus his energy daggers that can be charged to different energy levels (Priest kinda did this iirc). I mean shyt, Fox got Gambit, so might as well let BP spam some of that concept ol boy does with the cards, but bigger brighter and better... and with daggers.
Other path would've been a more idealized king of the dead shtick... in which i would've given him dominion over all low to mid tier "dead" people; i.e. zombies, vampires, some demons, etc. All the high end dracula types would be able to resist him but everyone else would be fair game. I also would've had him be able to summon the abilities if not the presence of past black panthers as well... not just to shoot the shyt with dialogue but to actually fight, give him some spirit energy or let it run through him on some dbz kaoken x 10 shyt, or have him collect the energy from willing souls and release it on some energy blast, spirit bomb shyt. I loved how Priest had all those astral plane black panthers show up and fukk up Memphisto, so even if he could summon up some actual spirit panthers (symbolizing the past ones) for certain attacks. Like have Dr Strange cameo talkin to BP bout how breh can do a lot of damage with all this mystic abilities he inherited from t'chaka and the rest. Even if he doesn't keep these abilities and goes back to athletic karate guy, i would've loved to have seen a power boost like this, however brief just to switch shyt up for once.
Hell, with the MCU, i know the mystic stuff is probably doing too much with king of the dead but i'd love for the high tech stuff to at least come into play in his future appearances and films (if not in his debut solo movie).

I'd cop that shyt immediately. 
on him not having peak abilities as that's what the point of the Heart shaped Herb is for, that's something that makes Wakanda unique and legitimizes the Black Panther title.
