found cures for all diseases ie cancer, AIDS, etc?

Black Panther apparently has the cure for Cancer...shifty but Wakanda doesn't share. So people like Betty Ross die in the MU.
Oooh Hulk has a reason to smash Black Panther now...I mean he smashed the mansion for absolutely no reason this is at least a partial reason.

why hasn't Reed been able to find a cure?

It kind of takes away the human aspect from the MU if you rid the entire Earth of disease. So I'm going to be annoying and say, the same reason why every genius(Good and Evil) in the Marvel universe failed to figure out a solution to M-day. stick out tongue

Black Panther was probably lying. He does that a lot.

He was dead serious.

They have, but they're keeping it a secret.

Because:

1) That would remove such stories from existing in the comics
2) It would extend human life to an extent that they couldn't deal with
3) It would eventually be reverse engineered into a disease that kills everything
4) Reed is a complete dick

I don't care if he's black, white, red, green, blue, or yellow.

If he has a cure for cancer in Wakanda and doesn't share it with the world, then he's a c*nt for sure.

because it takes away from the realism of the stories. and comic books have so little of that, it's kinda necessary to keep it there somehow.

Dr. Strange found a cure for cancer once.

what are you talking about? He used the remains of the cure to cure Wong... Wong lives at the end of the Oath. did you read it?

Dude, Wakanda has a cure for cancer and isn't sharing it with other countries? Is that actually in the comics?


If so, **** Wakanda and the BP, that's just too cold-blooded.

Yes, no joking.

Wakanda wont share with the 'uncivilised white people'...

Darth Vicious
Agreed, it would take realism. I think the closest thing to AIDS/Cancer in the M.U was the Legacy Virus and they cured it.

Black Panthers Cancer Cure only works on Wakandan bloodlines.

There are cures for some diseases which will only work on the INHUMANS / ATLANTEANS / SAVAGE LAND TRIBES and so on.

Bingo. Many of wakandas cures, and treatments only work on wakandans. You see, Wakanda is the oldest, and purest empire ever to exist on earth. They have never been conquered, thus their heritage, culture, but most importantly their blood lines have never been influenced by outside sources.

Its also why the heart shaped herb only works on wakandans, namely those with royal wakandan blood. I will admit however, when they were discussing the cure for cancer, they said it would be a "small trinket" or something like that (been awhile since I read the issue). I get the feeling they have had it for awhile, as well as many other cures and stuff.

What can I say, Wakanda likes keeping everything it has on the hush.

Um, every country has its military/medical/political/biological etc, secrets in which it will not open to the rest of the world about.

Its just that wakanda is so advanced, it has much more, and spies in every other countries intelligence bureaus effectively having theirs too. no expression

I don't see anything wrong with Wakanda keeping its cancer cure a secret.

there's a big difference between

a) attacking you for no reason (Hitler)

b) not giving away my scientific secrets for your benefit (Wakanda)

I'm not saying it's not a heartless act, but I'm saying...oh I don't know, nm.

laughing out loud I'm just pointing out that the survival of the fittest argument can rationalize plenty of evil things.

K3VIL
masterbruce got a point here.I mean, they can built portals to other dimensions, weapons able to rip apart cities, devices which can absorb energy from cosmic beings and they cannot cure cancer and AIDS?Sounds kinda crap.

In "The Death of Captain Mar-Vell" it was mentioned several times that they could have cured his cancer if it had not been for the weird energy effects of the Nega - Bands that were thwarting their efforts

ALSO it would count as an act of Supreme sabotage to share a gene-specific cancer cure which clever scientists working for Wakanda's enemies or certainly governments who do not have Her best interests at Heart can reverse engineer into an airbourne Carrier for a virus /disease to committ Genocide against the Wakandan race .

Fair enough but if their cures did work on other people it wouldnt be fair to keep it to themselves. Dr Doom does stuff like that. no expression

They gotta do a hell of alot of gene tampering on their own people to keep the effects of inbreeding dormant... it'd be a wonder if they'd even be genetically compatible with outsiders then if this is true...

The bands were the only thing keeping him alive after a certain point. Plus, The Kree considered him a traitor, so they refused to help cure him.

Very true, I hate speculating, however this could be true. During BP and his advisers conversation about the cure for cancer, they referred to it as a "small trinket". It could be believed that their medical field is many more times beyond that, they might have a cure for every disease or faulty family trait in the world, so what you say could hold true. But then again, it is still just speculation.

Although suspension of disbelief is often an annoying and sometimes unacceptable answer, it is sometimes the only answer that makes sense.
