History[]
The Black Musketeers live and operate in the nation of Wakanda in Africa. The most distinguished member of the group is Khanata, who is an adrenalin junkie, a racecar driver and the cousin of Wakanda's king, T'Challa, also known as the Black Panther. The Black Muskeeters aided T'Challa in his battle against his mutated half-brother, Jakarra, whose actions threatened to destroy the Great Vibranium Mound. They attempted to use liquid nitrogen to stop him, but this only slowed him down and ultimately, it was up to the Black Panther and Doctor Joshua Itobo to finish him off. [1]
