    Ten Things: Not The Avengers

    7) THE BLACK PANTHER (but not T’Challa)

    Boasting a single appearance in Centaur Comics’ ‘Stars & Stripes’ circa 1941, very little of note was revealed about T’Challa’s predecessor, not even a real name.  At the time of his appearance, though, he had enough of a reputation to strike fear into the villainous Rogats, allowing him to foil the bad guy’s plan to steal a secret formula.  (If you’ve read much in the way of Golden Age comics, you might recognize this plot as a Mad Libs that could describe half a dozen one-shot masked mystery men…)

    Once upon a time, there was a young nerd from the Midwest, who loved Matter-Eater Lad and the McKenzie Brothers... If pop culture were a maze, Matthew would be the Minotaur at its center. Were it a mall, he'd be the Food Court. Were it a parking lot, he’d be the distant Cart Corral where the weird kids gather to smoke, but that’s not important right now... Matthew enjoys body surfing (so long as the bodies are fresh), writing in the third person, and dark-eyed women. Amongst his weaponry are such diverse elements as: Fear! Surprise! Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.
