However, the truth came to light when the Fantastic Four showed up. The Latverian leader orchestrated a fight between her and Namor. Shuri and her crew investigated the encounter which uncovered a revolutionary group of Wakandans called the Desturi that had been manipulated by Doctor Doom. In the second half of that BLACK PANTHER volume, Shuri traveled to America, where she was attacked. While she defeated Morlun, T'Challa returned to consciousness, but did not retake the Black Panther title, leaving it to Shuri for a time. Shuri answered the call and donned the Black Panther costume for the first time, understanding that she needed to prove herself by overcoming her arrogance and ego. With Morlun attacking Wakanda, the country needed a hero while Storm attempted to save T'Challa from Death in Limbo. After conveying this to the others, Zuri pointed out that the god must have seen something in her because it usually destroyed anyone deemed unworthy. The god told her to go, saying that she would never be the Black Panther. The meeting did not go as planned, though, when Shuri's arrogance led her to declare her worthiness instead of presenting herself humbly. For centuries, the Chieftain of Wakanda (the Black Panther) has gained his powers through the juices of the Heart-Shaped. Having acquired the herb, she ingested it back in the palace and met with Bast, the Panther God. Herbs that happened to be surrounded by a pride of panthers. She walked barefoot across fire, meditated for hours in a scorpion pit, and even free-climbed the mountain that was home to the heart-shaped herbs.

It’s an action-packed ride with a strong, smart girl protagonist, and characters that may be familiar to readers from the movie or comic books.Ĭons: The queen seemed unnecessarily obnoxious to her daughter, not appreciating Shuri’s considerable gifts, and focusing too much on her clothes and social skills.
Pros: My experience with another middle grade Black Panther novel makes me pretty confident that this will be an easy sell. Their return to Wakanda coincides with the invasion, and Shuri is able to use some of her innovative technology to stop it and to show her family what she is capable of. When her family doesn’t take her warnings seriously, Shuri takes matters into her own hands, escaping with her friend and protector K’Marah to travel to Kenya and London in search of assistance. So when she discovers that the powerful heart-shaped herb is dying, then has a vision of an evil invading Wakanda, she feels compelled to act. She feels that her mother and brother don’t appreciate her and treat her like a child.
Summary: Princess Shuri, sister of T’Challa the Black Panther, is gifted in all things technological and wants to use her talents to help Wakanda.
