Far from being all about brawn, Black Panther actually has one of the finest minds on Earth (generally considered to be in the top eight along with the likes of Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Hank Pym and Victor Von Doom), being intellectually gifted in a number of scientific disciplines. Most notably, T'Challa actually attended the elite British institution, Oxford University, and emerged with a Ph.D in Physics. His intelligence makes him an expert tactician, physicist and engineer and his understanding of advanced Wakandan technology is second to none - in fact, he has even invented advanced weaponry which has exceeded anything that came before it in the nation he rules. He was, for example, able to reverse engineer (and then recreate) a number of inter-dimensional bombs that were fully capable of destroying entire planets.
