Lasting only two seasons and largely outshined by sister animated series Ultimate Spider-Man and Guardians Of The Galaxy, it's easy to forget some of the genuinely great moments that were born from the all-but-forgotten Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. One of the highlights of the series always came in the form of the Black Panther, who stole every scene in which he appeared with his ice-cold demeanour and deadpan humour.

Some of T'Challa's more memorable scenes, in what is shaping up to be a running theme in this list, come in his more brutal moments. A perfect example of the swift and mercilessness edge we've come to love in the King of Wakanda would be during his battle with Doctor Doom-henchman and futuristic cyborg, Lucia Von Bardas.

Outgunned and pressed for time, Black Panther does what Black Panther does best, brutally shutting down a fight the second it gets out of hand. Taking advantage of a gap in Lucia's defense, T'Challa gets the drop on her, and literally rips out her beating robot heart.

Even in child-friendly animated form, Black Panther shows exactly why Wakanda relies solely on the defence of one man. Yikes.
