Biography[]
Bashenga was an ancient tribal leader from the nation of Wakanda. It was during his reign that a meteor of Vibranium first landed in the country to form a mound of valuable minerals. Bashenga formed the Panther Cult to guard the mound from raiders. He became the first to carry the title of Black Panther. The tradition of the Black Panther carried on through Bashenga's family line for many generations.
