* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: T'challa under different writers and appears differently to different characters has ranged from grim superhero, noble adventurer, [[Marty Stu]], [[Jerkass Stu]] and [[Knight Templar]] tyrant.
** His ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'' universe self is very much this from backstory to personality. He ends up being more of a angry and alone Anti-Hero than anything else.
* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: Former [[Vitriolic Best Buds|Power Man and Iron Fist]] scribe Christopher Priest used a story in his Panther run to give Iron Fist his powers back.
* [[Badass Decay]]: Panther has gone from outwitting [[Iron Man|Tony Stark]], [[The Devil|Mephisto]], and pulling off repeated [[Gambit Roulette|impossibly complex and brilliant schemes]], and going to toe-to-toe with heavy hitters like Namor and [[Incredible Hulk|the Hulk]] to getting yelled at by Luke Cage for not being as good as Daredevil.
Line 9:
* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: So much of Hudlin's and the current series plot points are Wall Bangers for some that were big fans of the Priest run, although this isn't always the case. However, pretty much everyone agrees that Doomwar never happened... except, unfortunately, for Marvel themselves.
* [[God Mode Sue]]: Hudlin's interpretation of the character, up until the re-launch, where he suddenly became a [[Butt Monkey|total chump]].
* [[Iron Woobie]]: His [[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]] incarnation.
* [[Mary Suetopia]]: Wakanda.
** Ruled by their [[Marty Stu]] leader, of course.
** Averted in the [[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]] universe. Their economy's messed up, they have no diplomatic ties to the rest of the world and they're all fairly racist. Except for the Wakandans willing to throw each other under a bus for money.
** Averted during Christopher Priest's run too, sure it's one of the most advance nations on the planet but all the many tribes and groups hate each other almost as much as they do outsiders, and Panther's constantly having to deal with some tribal war or coup attempt or whatever.
** Honestly, it's basically only this under Hudlin, and even then, only until Doom starts trashing the place.
* [[Strangled Byby the Red String]]: Him and Storm, in one of the most brutal stranglings in mainstream comics. Made worse and/or hilarious by the fact that Storm was a (heavily implied) lesbian under Claremont, only none of her other writers twigged to it. Hudlin basically built the marriage out of a two-issue cameo from Priest's run where their "romance" was treated as an unrealistic-but-cathartic childhood fantasy that would never actually work in any real way. Writers of both characters are now largely ignoring the marriage for exactly that reason.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Storm going from a strong black female character whose survived as a popular character since her introduction to some random chick that dropped her panties for T'Challa the first time they met.
