Erik Killmonger is the name of a Wakandan who changed his name from N'Jadaka having been exiled from the country. He was exiled by the king of Wakanda because his father had been pressed into working for the villain Klaw. Following his exile, he ended up in Harlem, New York, where he developed a hatred of both Klaw and the Wakandan king. He dedicated his life to avenging his father's death. He then studied extensively at M.I.T. He contacted T'Challa the Black Panther, who repatriated Killmonger to Wakanda. He feigned trying to make up with T'Challa's father - the king. Killmonger settled in a village that would later change its name to N'Jadaka Village in his honour. There, he focused on overthrowing T'Challa's government, seeking to make himself ruler through various plots. This brought him in to conflict with Black Panther and the two fought. He even kidnapped T'Challa's sister Shuri, making the conflict between them even more personal. He looks great, is generally depicted as a serious physical threat to Black Panther and has the intelligence and plotting skills to make him a truly multi-layered villain. For those reasons, he'd be a great inclusion in the Black Panther film. So there you have it - five great villains for a Black Panther movie. Do you agree? Who else would make a decent antagonist for T'Challa to deal with on screen? Let us know in the comments box below. And please feel free to follow me on Twitter.
