8 Times Black Panther Was Forced To Kill

3. Beating Iron Man To Death

Much like how the previously listed beheading of Sabretooth served as an example of a story where King T'Challa becomes embroiled in the nastier aspects of ruling a nation, this slaying of an alternate universe Iron Man goes to show exactly how much the legendary Black Panther dislikes outsiders meddling in Wakandan affairs.

In an alternate universe wherein Iron Man decides to take his Civil War-igniting Superhero registration act worldwide, Tony Stark learns firsthand that you'd be safer walking into a warzone than Wakanda with the idea of imposing his law against the will of others.

After a mecha battle that looks straight out of a Kaiju monster movie, Black Panther is forced to take Iron Man down to the wire. However, pummelling Stark's mecha-suit so hard accidentally led to the death of the Avenger, who had neurologically bonded with the suit to the point where any injury it sustained, he felt for real.

An accidental death, and one seemingly mourned by T'Challa, this battle was a clash of Marvel titans, and served to show that in the name of Wakanda, anyone's blood could be spilled by the Panther.
