T'Challa is the Black Panther, king of Wakanda, one of the most technologically advanced nations on Earth. He is among the top intellects and martial artists of the world, a veteran Avenger, and a member of the Illuminati. Using his powers and abilities, he has pledged his fortune, powers, and life to the service of all mankind.
So during a G4 Exclusive it was just announced that after issue #512 Daredevil will no longer be the Man Without Fear and the title will become Black Panther: The Man Without Fear. What are your thoughts CV??
hmmmmm, I'm still not sure what I think about this because I have no idea what it will entail but I like the idea of DD getting a new persona and of BP getting some time in the limelight I suppose we'll have to wait and see what it's all about
" @danhimself: yeah, and I'm excited about him possibly taking a new role there's a lot of potential there "
I don't know how much of a role change it's going to be...maybe more vigilante style? plus it kind of looked like he'll have a costume alteration...I'll post the video as soon as it's up on G4.com
It's officially T'Challa? I wouldn't have guessed him... but it's not a bad choice. People DO want him back in an active role. And her certainly seems to be fearless.
Black Panther isn't one of their biggest characters. He's growing in popularity, but he isn't someone like Spidey, Hulk, Cap or Wolverine. Most of the non-comic reading public probably don't know about the Black Panther...
Besides, popularity should never be a reason to develop a character. What would you rather have? T'Challa as a new Man Without Fear... or still sat around sulking while the women around him do all the hard work.

I was actually referring to Matt Murdock not being Daredevil anymore. Marvel has screwed him over. This is a good direction for BP, but it's a pretty big price (Shadowland).
Its an interesting move i'll give it that, and i'll say it will fly or flop, but usually when Marvel actually has the brass to go out in left field and try something different is when it actually works so i'm thinking the former.
I have never actually read a comic involving T'Challa but I'd say this is rather weird as he is a King? To change from being a King to being a street fighting superhero.
I think they should of gotten Gambit and / or Falcon as they're not currently being used in the Heroic Age.

I didn´t like this at all. To me, in the conclusion of Shadowland, DD shoud recover his senses and come back to the side of the angels. I´d liked a little "Incredible Hercules" but there´s no way I´m buying "Black Panther - Man Without Fear"
Well, from what is posted above (by Beast-X in case a post pops up inbetween), it looks like after Daredevil:Reborn we may see a battle for the protector of Hells Kitchen. That should prove intresting.
I don't read Daredevil but I don't like this, I think it should either be Black Tarantula Man without fear or Luke Cage Man without fear or Elektra or maybe Echo who continue the book.
also Black Panther has lost everything...their vibranium stocks are gone along with their technology and fortune....Black Panther will be rebuilding himself in New York with no vibranium weave suit or any of his other vibranium gadgets
I'm just happy they are just making him "The Man Without Fear" and not Daredevil. Surfer could be the man without fear for all I care, DD is Murdock, if Murdock dies, let DD die.
" really Marvel? how lame is black panther the man without fears going to be? Uber-Lame. this is an joke, right? nobody fears him at all. "
LOL. How lame is it to judge the quality of a book that hasn't been released yet? Uber-lame, as well. It's not a joke, either. It's not a question of anyone fearing him (nobody really feared Daredevil that much, save for ordinary thugs, who have also been afraid of Black Panther, too), but being without fear of his own.
i never really any bp books because i wanted to find something interesting book to read current so i will check this one out. who know could be very good, besides i want to learn more about the character and see why he's pretty awesome! i don't have a problem with changes in comics unless their good and not too bizarre
As of Shadowland, I have been concerned about Daredevil's future. I think the arc itself is a very interesting concept, but it has had severe repercussions on his character.
"Now what have we learned about comics, fanboys and fangirls? Nothing is forever We will see Daredevil "The Man without Fear once again. My guess is about 2 -3 years "
