The Question: With the Heart-Shaped Herb possibly gone forever due to Killmonger's actions, does that mean T'Challa could be the last true Black Panther, because without the abilities granted by the Herb, wouldn't the title be more ceremonial than anything?

The Likely Answer: It just wouldn't make much sense for T'Challa to be the final Black Panther, considering that the character will probably be rebooted or replaced at some point in the future.

Plus, given the probability of the Heart-Shaped Herb being re-cultivated some time soon, there wouldn't be any reason for the line of succession to encounter any speed bumps.
