Millions of years ago, a meteorite made of vibranium, the strongest
substance in the universe, struck the continent of Africa, affecting the
plant life around it. And when the time of man came, five tribes
settled on it and called it Wakanda. The tribes lived in constant war
with each other until a warrior shaman received a vision from the
Panther Goddess Bast, who led him to the Heart-Shaped Herb, a plant that
granted him superhuman strength, speed and instincts. The warrior
became king and the first Black Panther, the protector of Wakanda. Four
tribes agreed to live under the king’s rule, but the Jabari Tribe
isolated themselves in the mountains. The Wakandans used vibranium to
develop technology more advanced than any other nation. But as Wakanda
thrived, the world around it descended further into chaos. To keep
vibranium safe, the Wakandans vowed to hide in plain sight, keeping the
truth of their power from the outside world.Black Panther, dir. Ryan Coogler (2018)
