![]() ![]() When it came time for the White Wolf to appear in the MCU, the alias went to Bucky Barnes and the personal backstory and connection to T'Challa was worked into the backstory of another powerful Black Panther villain Killmonger, successfully portrayed by actor Michael B. Although constantly in opposition, they weren't above joining forces although such unions were tentative at best. Both of them wanted to succeed their father and once denied that opportunity, they chose to spend the rest of their life in conflict of their brother while remaining loyal (sometimes) to their homeland. Both Hunter and Loki were raised by a king, both adopted and feeling inferior to their brother. More than once, Hunter's relationship to T'Challa has been compared to another pair of brothers famous for their repeated battles, Thor and his trickster half-brother Loki. He would be referenced by that name again in Avengers: Infinity War and it would appear that identity may be further explored in the upcoming Falcon and the Winter Soldier series on Disney+. Cosmic Crusader Adam Warlock’s artificial genetic structure has given him bone and muscle tissue that are denser than a normal human’s, along with superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. In the after credits scene of Black Panther, an unfrozen, serene and one armed Bucky is seen walking among a village in Wakanda with Shuri where some of the children refer to him by that name. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the White Wolf is the alias given to Captain America's best friend and former Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes portrayed by Sebastian Stan. ![]() ![]() More than often, Black Panther and White Wolf would find themselves at each other's throats where T'Challa would remind his brother that his Wakanda no longer had a place for someone like him. Despite his feelings about T'Challa and his banishment, his personal bias would prove second to his devotion to Wakanda and he was known to assist Black Panther, both T'Challa and his brief replacement Kasper Cole, on occasion. With the filmmakers resolute in there decision not to recast the role of King T'Challa, the film sees Letitia Wright, who plays T'Challa's scientist sister Shuri, take up the mantle of Black. The exiled Hunter and his followers would find employment as mercenaries and Hunter would come into conflict with T'Challa more than once over the years. His animosity with his brother T'Challa continued when T'Challa became king of Wakanda and disbanded the Hatut Zeraze, citing their merciless brutality as not fitting the direction he wanted to take the country.

Realizing he was no longer in line to succeed the throne, Hunter challenged his jealousy and frustration of being perceived as an outsider into becoming the ideal Wakandan citizen. However Hunter's world would change forever once T'Chaka's other son T'Challa was born. Although Wakandans have been isolated and xenophobic to the outside world, King T'Chaka took in the caucasian child, named Hunter, and raised him like he was his own son.

If T'Challa was willing to do whatever it took, Hunter would have served him, but since he is not willing, then someone who is must be king. ![]() When Hunter reentered the Black Panther's life in 1999's "Black Panther" #4-12, he desperately attempted to convince T'Challa to command the Hatut Zeraze as his father had, but once it became clear that T'Challa would never do this, Hunter decided his brother no longer deserved to be king - attempting to kill T'Challa and take the throne for himself. Instead, it was his perception that T'Challa wasn't willing to do what it took to protect Wakanda. CAPTAIN AMERICA: COLD WAR, the epic crossover between CAPTAIN AMERICA: SENTINEL OF LIBERTY and CAPTAIN AMERICA: SYMBOL OF TRUTH, is exploding across the Marvel Universe as Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson team up to stop Bucky Barnes and the White Wolf from unleashing the chaos of Dimension Z. This is exactly why he used the inhumane tactics that led his brother, T'Challa, to disband the Hatut Zeraze after he became king, and despite how much Hunter resented his younger brother, this isn't what truly angered him. His love of Wakanda led him to put his nation's safety above all else, and the most deadly threat that Wakanda faced was the threat of outside forces attacking the nation in search of its valuable mound of vibranium. ![]()
