8. His Powers Come From A Heart-Shaped Herb That Is Poisonous To Most
The superhuman physical levels boasted by the Black Panther are granted by a heart-shaped herb that only grows in Wakanda. Legend has it that the herb was a gift from the Panther God that the local deity worshipped, but in reality it was merely a plant that had mutated after exposure to the giant meteorite of Vibranium which crash-landed in Wakanda and now supplies the country with the unbreakable metal. Only certain people (generally only Wakandas) can use it without terrible side effects, but those who can use it gain enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance and healing (all to levels similar to someone like Captain America, for example). The user also gains enhanced senses, which allows them to see in total darkness, track any scent and hear an enemy's heartbeat.
