I know these are supposed to be super special space deathsharks but I hate it when superheros are fighting animals. Adam Warlock here, one of the only credible threats to Thanos but here I am being seriously tasked by a fish. The worst is the loving Savage Land, I hate the goddamn Savage Land. Last week we whooped Magneto's rear end but this week on our post-serious arc vacation we are getting hosed up by some dinosaurs and cavemen.

In this case, Warlock is trying to get to Earth while a powerful psychic mind is trying to slow him down. It's not a space shark, it's a psychic projection of one by someone who is powerful enough to destroy the galaxy. It's not technically alive. No space sharks were harmed in the making of those pages.

You should read Starlin's Warlock. It is one of the craziest things I have ever read and its awesome on every level.

Yeah, I love the entire dynamic of the Illuminati. There's a part earlier in this issue where Maximus is talking to Black Swan about heroes versus kings, and the way the morality of those groups differs, and then at the end of the issue everyone but Namor has fallen into the 'heroes' category, but he goes Imperius Rex to the max.

Basically Hickman rules so hard and he is completely owning these characters and doing amazing things with them.

Technically it's a Black Swan bomb possibly designed by another universe's Reed Richards which was reversed engineered and mass produced by our Reed Richards.

That's the richest part of it. Reed and Panther MADE that bomb. They made HUNDREDS of them. For moments just like this.

The Marvel wiki (:jerkbag:) says:

"Other weapons: Swords, spears, shields, knives, clubs, quivers and arrows. A large variety of firearms and other weapons used for close range, as well as technological weapons and devices such as a large 'power glove.'"

Basically "because it looks cool", the panels in 22 have it just being some weird pink-purple power from the knuckles that then goes full-on mega-glove when he gets real mad.

I think it gets fully explained in Hickman's Fantastic Four. Basically Marvel released a Black Panther versus Dr. Doom mini series (Doomwar, I think.)

Panther beat Doom, but to do it he blew up Wakanda's supply of Vibrinium. (I think Hickman then John's retconned this away by saying "they got more.") As a result, all the people of Wakanda turned on Panther and kicked him out of the country and took away his stuff. He was king no more.

I think he got made into the High Priest of the Black Panther religion and could talk with all the Dead Kings of Wakanda and got freaky magic/tech powers.
After issue 21 I thought THOSE powers were striped from him, but his whupping of Namor makes me think he still has some of those powers.

21 has his ghost dad chewing him out but I don't think he got stripped of his station? I'd have to reread 21.

It was more that he knew that a country should not have all its eggs in one basket so he invested, and they still had money.

Yeah his dad basically was disgusted at his choice and said "You are a Black Panther no more." before all the Ghost Dads walked away.

Now you can read it as them being disgusted with him, but when I see ghosts who give you a power associated with a title say things like that, I assume the title and powers associated with the title are gone.

Yeah, he was already stripped of his title of King of Wakanda, and his ghost dad straight tells him he is no longer Black Panther (as it pertains it his lineage and ability to communicate to his predecessors I suppose) when he fails to activate the bomb.

I kept thinking it was simply "his simple suit yeah, say, remember how Wakanda's the most highly advanced nation in the world? HERE'S YOUR REMINDER" which ties to how he activated all his science when Batman told him to stop lying.

Ahhhhh. I noticed when he was fighting "Batman" that he had yellow glowing knives and some kind of blue force field, and I was very confused.

It's not like this was a pre-planned ambush where he had time to think about how to fight the Blob.

Also, you would think rupturing a hole big enough for a shark to pass through in that glass tank at the bottom of an ocean would cause more than just a little flooding.

This is important somehow, I am sure.
