* Another one for Panther when meeting Ross' girlfriend and boss Nikki who was an ex-girlfriend of T'Challa. T'Challa politely but viciously tears into Nikki verbally for using Ross as a pawn in her government's game to spy on him, not revealing to Ross her status as T'Challa's ex-lover, betraying his trust, and overall disrespecting Ross as his close friend.

Lesson learned here?: Don't fuck with Wakanda.
** When that didn't seem to get the message across, what followed sure left an impression. The Skrull General of the Wakandan invasion forces responded to the aforementioned slaughter by dispatching a Super-Skrull to Wakanda to take out the Black Panther personally. This Super-Skrull possessed the skin of Luke Cage, the claws of Wolverine, Iron Fist's chi-enhanced strikes, Bullseye's superhuman aim, and the combined fighting styles of Elektra, Shang-Chi, Moon Knight, Daredevil, Captain America, and the Black Panther himself. However, T'Challa had used his encounter with the primary invasion force to study the weaknesses of Skrull biology, particularly their joints, pressure points, and physical composition. He proceeded to tear the Super-Skrull apart single-handedly, a feat that would normally require a team of super-heroes to accomplish.

* The entire early 2000s run was one for writer ChristopherPriest. An absolutely fantastic and unique story, an unbroken run (no other writers doing fill-in issues), and it remains to this day the longest Marvel or DC solo run starring a minority hero. That he managed to do all that with repeated artist changes, ExecutiveMeddling (although not nearly as bad as in his other work, he was forced to do a dialogue-free issue in the middle of an exceedingly complicated story, and to shoehorn an Earth-wide alien invasion into an unrelated story) just makes it more impressive.
