10 Insane Alternate Versions Of Black Panther You Won't Believe Exist

Hey everyone, wanna have nightmares for the rest of your damn lives? Then check out the alternate universe where all your favorite Marvel heroes are turned into horrific spider monsters! Doesn't that just sound like FUN?

Earth-19919's T'Challa shares many similarities with your average interpretation of the character, with one key difference. When Peter Parker is briefly transformed into a spider monster by the villain Spider Queen, she manages to get ahold of several skin samples of Parker during his time transformed. She then uses these samples to create a virus that turns several Marvel superheroes into monsters just like what Peter was. One of these is Black Panther, who goes through some, shall we say, cosmetic changes.

Namely that he grows four additional limbs, a whole bunch of eyes, and giant spider pincers guaranteed to make any arachnophobe very very uncomfortable. It also completely puts him, like all the others infected with the virus, under the Spider Queen's thrall.

Why Marvel writers keep turning their heroes into giant bugs is beyond me.
