The Question: We see Black Panther running at super-speed and leaping about in a distinctly superhuman way, but is this all just a result of his Vibranium suit? Or does T'Challa retain many of these abilities in plain street clothes?

The Likely Answer: This'll likely follow an amended version of the comic book explanation, where as a highly respected Wakandan warrior, T'Challa is allowed to eat a Heart-Shaped Herb contaminated by Vibranium, which grants him said abilities but is poisonous to non-Panthers.

It's possible that the character's own solo movie might alter the Herb to make it a little less goofy, but then again, considering the absolute insanity the MCU has gotten away with so far, this one isn't all that much of a stretch.
