Breaking box-office records and introducing millions around the world to the gleaming Afrofuturistic jewel that is the country of Wakanda, Marvel's Black Panther is already the third-highest grossing Marvel film less than two weeks after release. Originally created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby back in 1966 (King T'Challa debuted in Fantastic Four #52), the king-turned-Avenger marked the first superhero of African descent to appear in either the Marvel or DC comic universe.
