Batman is the face of Mary Sue comic book heroes, but tbh Black Panther's greatest appeal (as evidenced by that thread questioning why he's so popular on the Coli) is being a wealthy, super genius, martial arts master African king of Mary Suetopia . I literally never hear anyone heap praise on him (especially here) for any actual characterization or memorable story arcs. The fact that you're called a c00n if you aren't on his dikk is more than enough proof that the character is more of an ideal or the embodiment of "wish fulfillment" than an organic, balanced character like Static Shock or Blue Marvel.
I don't dislike the character or anything like that, but I feel he's written to placate black readers (he's basically perfect) rather than to star in and spur great stories. That's the difference between him and Batman actually, and one of the most telling symptoms of Marvel's inability to write great non-white characters that are also positive.
Difference batman has story arcs like The dark knight returns where he beats superman, or cartoons where he fights darkseid, black panther doesn't have anything like that really that ridiculous.
Batman at contained within his own universe isn't a mary sue, but writers make him that.
You can't have scenarios where he's at death door dealing with street level criminals, then have him taking on gods in the same breath.
It is ridiculous, you can't have it both ways. Black Panther has been consisted with his abilities, Batman became popular and they went over board with what he can do. He wasn't even a martial arts in the beginning. Now you have people saying he can fight Captain America who is an enhanced super human far stronger than any normal can be lol. That's why he's a mary sue. Black Panther doesn't get new abilities or attributes whenever you need to say he's better than another character.
Superman is like the sword of omens, he went from having super strength and flying to being able to do anything, know he knows kryptonian karate lol, that whole fortress of solitude is fukking retarded.
Batman fought superman with an armored suit as an old man which superman could ripped off in an instant yet that is somehow considered a great comic story lol.
Black panthers makes people uncomfortable that's why he's a good character, your obviously upset at such a powerful character being black
nevermind the fact that Spider-Man not only has superhuman strength on bar with any herculean hero, but his a super genius who built state of art webbing stronger than any material known to man all in his bedroom as a teenager, but that doesn't sound to ridiculous to you because he's white.
Static Shock is a lame character, nikka rides around on a manhole and his name is static shock, that shyt sounds fukking stupid.
only good black superheroes were blade and spawn, two nikkaz who had to be evil in order to be superheroes. Blade half devil and Spawn had to go to hell and make a deal with the devil.
Black Panther is the only black superhero with principles he won't compromise for no one, that's why people like him.
