In my order of preference:

#5: Ulysses Klaw

#4: Malice

#3: White Wolf

#2: Erik Killmonger

#1: Man-Ape

Which should it be, GAF?

I'd say go the EMH route & do both Klaw & Man-Ape. The former will be established in Age of Ultron anyway, so might as well.

I say Klaw. We know he's getting introduced and all those others follow the common Marvel trope of Evil Version of Hero (Iron Man 1, Iron Man 2, The First Avenger, Ant-Man, Hulk)

Man-Ape and White Wolf seem like the best contenders to me.

Byakuya769 · Apr 23, 2015

Man Ape is a definite HELL FUCKING NO.

That first post, tho... whooooooo.

marvel loves their dual nature with villains on the first film (iron suit vs iron suit in iron man 1, shrinking vs shrinking in Ant-Man) so it wouldnt surprise me if they go with White Wolf

but.. given it's already established and all, besides also being straight up arch-nemesis; it's gonna be Klaw

I'm not really familiar with any of the villains. I only ever read anything with him in it that was titled "Marvel" and "Zombies."

TheGreatDirector · Apr 23, 2015

Honestly though, it should be a team up.

Klaw and Killmonger would be the best. Man-ape just seems to 2 dimensional and White Wolf would be a rehash of Loki

Maximus later on

White wolf maybe.

.....or this.

Black, African Man dressed as a gorilla and called Man-Ape. Terrible optics.

Zelias · Apr 23, 2015

Outstanding.

I'd say Klaw since they're already introducing him. Wouldn't mind Man-Ape either.

Log4Girlz · Apr 23, 2015

So, Man-Pig.

Wakanda is a technologically advanced BLACK civilization so superior to every nation on Earth by a ridiculous margin that SHIELD with its advanced tech doesn't fuck with 'em let alone any normal nations

I think that'll cause more strokes and brain aneurism than Man-Ape.

Parallax · Apr 23, 2015

Klaw first. Killmonger second

Damn son

I'm not really familiar with Panther or his villains... but yeah, that was my first thought as well.

nicanica · Apr 23, 2015

Man, the public uproar if its man ape or white wolf as the bad guys.

Black Panther is a king first and foremost. What's more is that wakanda is the most technologically advanced city on the planet. So the threat needs to be more than just a single maniacal baddie. It needs to challenge the idea and threaten wakanda. I could see Hydra or an AIM creation trying to invade to help smooth the transition into the MCU. I'd be a little disapp9inted if they just went with "Klaw's powers are enhanced by vibranium, now in the final scene he gets his hands on it and takes panther one on one."

Marion Cobretti · Apr 23, 2015

TheGreatDirector · Apr 23, 2015

There's more racially negative racial stereotypes tagged with Man-ape as a character though. He the most comic book like of Panther's villains but he would be controversial due to both his name, appearance, and motivations.

Way to derail the thread.

block tower · Apr 23, 2015

T'Zariah · Apr 23, 2015

Screw you for derailing this entire thread.

True enough.

So it's a toss up between White Wolf and Killmonger for me.

I'm hesitant on White Wolf as him being his brother as an enemy has been done to death and I'm not sure how that can play out in a way that won't seem as a Loki/Thor retread.

Mauricio_Magus · Apr 23, 2015

is that gif from a real competition or is this staged

Korigama · Apr 23, 2015

Reginald Hudlin?

obin_gam · Apr 23, 2015

Spoilers for AoE

the villain is definitely gonna be Klaw. Secondly they mention "the great sell of Wakanda" or something similar, so I don't think that country will be that advanced. Not in current mcu anyway.

NotTheGuyYouKill · Apr 23, 2015

If Winter Soldier was a conspiracy/espionage thriller, Black Panther's most logical genre would be political thriller. So you'd filter his villains through that lens. So, the villains will likely fit into something involving, I dunno, coups, terrorism, rebellions, battles over power, sovereignty, etc. Either an enemy festering within, which harkens to close to HYDRA hiding inside of SHIELD, or an enemy without encroaching on Wakanda with inside help.

If we wind up getting Klaw, he'll have sound technology that will compensate for BP's suit, so they have to battle on even ground, I assume.

I know fuck all about Black Panther.

Or, it's a political/corporate thriller, and we wind up with a multinational corporation type in the vein of Obadiah Stane/Daniel Cross coming head-to-head against Wakanda.

Shaanyboi · Apr 23, 2015

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

TheGreatDirector · Apr 23, 2015

Black Panther storylines can rely on either a citizen wanting to take the throne or an outside power wanting the many resources within the nation. If it's an outside power, they'll typically hire Klaw to "persuade" Wakanda to action.

You might want to watch the Black Panther cartoon MTV put out years. Although it is very much a blaxploitation cartoon and fairly poorly animated, it gives the most basic overview of Black Panther as a character and the enemies he typically faces.

Alright, which one of you guys did this?

CrazyDogg77 · Apr 23, 2015

If they

really make Wakanda not as advanced as in the comics

that would be horrible but exactly the course I would expect them to take

Merc_ · Apr 23, 2015

If they do that then Marvel truly is nothing but a bunch of cowards.
