Mena Ngai is a fictional landmark featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is associated with the Black Panther line of comic book titles and is also known as the Great Mound. Ages ago, a meteor crashed in central Africa, which was composed of an amazing and non-terrestrial metal, which came to be known as Vibranium. Natives from nearby villages mined the ore from this newly formed mountain, which had the ability to absorb kinetic energy. This became the basis for the formation of the varying tribes into the great sovereign nation of Wakanda. In the years to follow, Mena Ngai became a sacred landmark in Wakanda. Because of its Vibranium-rich deposits, its value was noticed by other ambitious outsiders such as Ulysses Klaue and Victor von Doom.
