* UnfortunateImplications: 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.

** Of course most of the stuff mentioned there previous to getting yelled at by Luke Cage was during his GodModeSue era. One could as easily argue that prior to all that, he had already decayed from an authentic BadAss with a nuanced backstory and a diverse social circle into being a racist BoringInvincibleHero.

* BadassDecay: Panther has gone from outwitting [[IronMan Tony Stark]], [[TheDevil Mephisto]], and pulling off repeated [[XanatosRoulette impossibly complex and brilliant schemes]], and going to toe-to-toe with heavy hitters like Namor and [[IncredibleHulk the Hulk]] to getting yelled at by Luke Cage for not being as good as Daredevil.

* StrangledByTheRedString: 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. Also a case of CompletelyMissingThePoint, as 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.

** His ''IronManArmoredAdventures'' universe self is very much this from backstory to personality. He ends up being more of a LawfulGood, angry and alone Anti-Hero than anything else.

* FanonDisontinuity: 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.

* CharacterDerailment: Regardless of how you feel about the respective runs, Priest's T'Challa acts, speaks, and behaves as a much more intelligent person than Liss' T'Challa. Hudlin's take was somewhere in between, and all three takes have their fans, but the difference in intellect from one incarnation to the next is undeniable.

Writers of both characters are now largely ignoring the marriage for exactly that reason.

* CharacterDerailment: Most of what's happened to T'Challa since Priest left the book is arguably this, with each new run taking it further and further. Hudlin's first run completely re-wrote his personality, continuity, and lovelife, then his second run had him punked by Doom and either comatose or whiny throughout, then Doomwar had him trade in his tech for nebulously defined magic powers. Now, Liss has him leaving his country (that he's, you know, the king of) to run a diner in Hell's Kitchen and get yelled at by Luke Cage.

* GodModeSue: Hudlin's interpretation of the character.

** 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.

* CharacterDerailment: Most of what's happened to T'Challa since Priest left the book is [[YourMileageMayVary arguably]] this, but [[DethroningMomentofSuck Doomwar]], and everything afterward, is DEFINITELY this.
** No question the previous two books had issues, but the Man without Fear book is showing promise.
*** Eh, most Panther fans (myself included) I know don't really dig on it, on account of the writer having forgotten that T'Challa's supposed to be smart (like, top seven human beings on the planet level smart. Canonically), and Luke Cage being treated as the higher-tier hero.

* StrangledByTheRedString: Him and Storm.
* YourMileageMayVary: Black Panther's various runs and guest appearances have been subject to this, due to opinions of Black Panther the character along with his interactions with other MarvelUniverse characters.

** Averted during Christopher Priest's run too, sure it's one of the most advance nations on the planet but all the many triads and groups hate each other almost as much as they do outsiders.
