Erskine's formula for Cap has never been truly replicated. Other's have created similar formulas with varying degrees of efficacy, but his formula hasn't been duplicated. They've been missing a key ingredient. Cap's shield used an ingredient from Wakanda. What if the formula did too?

Sergei Kravenoff was injured while on safari in Africa. A witch gave him a potion using unknown ingredients that not only healed him, but made him FAR more formidable. We don't know any ingredients used, but Wakanda IS in Africa.

I think one of the ingredients in the formula that made Cap and the potion that made Kraven is the Heart Shaped Herb that gives the members of T'Challa's family their abilities. It would explain the similarities in their capabilities, while the differences can be chalked up to each of their formulas individual imgredients. Maybe the witch who healed Kraven was Wakandan, or at least lived close enough to find a sample of the Herb. Erskine could have gotten some when the Weapon Plus program got their hands on Vibranium for Cap's shield.

Is it plausible?

Michael B. Jordan was so damn good as Killmonger, and honestly, I think he could come back as the next Black Panther. He already has the presence, the look, and the acting chops to absolutely kill it. Instead of bringing in someone completely new, bringing him back and making him the new Black Panther would be badass.
I know people are probably gonna hate this idea, but I’m telling you… he was PERFECT for it. 🔥

Just had the realization it would be a perfect film & filmmaker to set up Magneto in the MCU. Coogler is one of, if not THE, best directors working in the MCU and seeing his take on Magnus would be incredible. There’s a lot of room to do a story about Black Panther/Magneto/Namor as leaders, and you could even throw Dr. Doom in there as well (I doubt that would happen though).

There were reports that BP3 would set up a major mutant and it was theorized to be Storm, but now we know that not to be true. Denzel Washington seems to be cast already and would make an incredible Magneto but doesn’t quite fit the age I would expect.

Am I reaching? Admittedly I know more about the X-Men than Black Panther but I think Magnus would be an incredible villain or foil to T’Challa & Namor. But if Coogler & Co. wanted the finale to their trilogy to be about a more canonically Black Panther villain I’d understand that too.

I'm a black man who's always been interested in black heroes, from static shock, to like cage, to storm, and black panther. But I don't read that many comic books.

Recently, I've just picked up the habit and I want to know what books/series should I start with to get an understanding of T'challa. What comic runs are his best/your favorite. Is there a specific order I should go in? Does one run better represent him more than another?

Let me know and give me recs please,

Thank you.
