MCU: 10 Things You Didn't Know About Vibranium
7. The Vibranium In Black Panther's Suit Robs Incoming Objects Of Momentum
Anyone who has seen Black Panther will be awestruck at the seemingly endless capabilities of the suit donned by T'Challa, played by the late, great Chadwick Boseman.
The heart shaped herb that T'Challa ingests in the Wakandan tradition, granting him near superhuman strength, speed and agility, draws its powers from the vibranium enriched soil where the meteor landed. Coupled with his vibranium weave suit, it is easy to see why Black Panther is such a formidable hero.
The science behind the suit is incredibly interesting; the vibranium weave material robs incoming items of kinetic energy and stores it for use at a later time. Bullets fired at Black Panther quite literally do nothing but make him stronger, as the suit can disperse the stored kinetic energy at his discretion.
Look no further than T'Challa's chase of arms dealer Ulysses Klaues in 2018's outing; Black Panther uses the stored energy to blast away a carload of goons after absorbing a hail of gunfire during a chase through the streets of South Korea.
Some might argue the suit gives T'Challa an almost unassailable advantage over most of his foes; the playing field would be considerably more level were it not for the involvement of vibranium.
