Kilmonger's body was genetically enhanced so that he could take on the Black Panther. That on top of his already superior skills aided him in taking down T'Challa. Not to mention the fact that Kilmonger could never use the herb. You see if someone who's not of the royal family takes it they become very ill and die. Kilmonger at the time went into a coma ( he was strong enough to survive due to his genetic enhancements ) which he later got out of.
LATER ( Black Panther #61. ) he was able to synthesize a FALSE herb which he could take.
Killmonger is an equally adept fighter and thinker. He was a teacher at MIT for awhile, and has a major grudge against T'Challa. He hates him with such passion that it's inconcievable for T'Challa to be able to just pop him in the nose and be off. He had devoted himself to seeing the downfall of the Bashenga line.
I have very little on T'Challa before the Marvel Knights version. ( Christopher Priest made T'Challa a GREAT character again. ) All I know is that during the Black Panther's second run, Kilmonger was enhanced when he de-throned T'Challa. The only other Panther comics I have is his mini series from the 80's when he fights his own God. ( The Panther God. )
:😖igh:: Black panther is better than Bats. Bats has NO advantages over him. 0, zilch, capoot....(well mayb a flashy cape, which is sooo cool)
It just doesn't add up. $, recources, ability, record, doesn't add up. Bats is beat. Bane wouldn't have beaten T'Challa, if so, not that badly. Not on his worse day.
Basically all your saying helps my arguement.
Wayne is sharper because he keeps his fighting techniques sharper (no country to run no two wives to handle which rob you greatlly of testosteron.)
BP's enhancements are truly minimal. (BP can bench 750 Batman can bench 725.) You are all truly makling too big a deal of this.
And Bane beat Batman after Batman consequetively defeated all his major enemies. Anyone who had bothered to read Knightfall would have known that. Batman comes back later and messes him up bad.
You guys prove that the empty can rattles the most.
