History

Magba is an African god of rage. He was one of seven godkillers who were each responsible for felling a god with their unique weapon. Magba's opponent was Bast, the matron deity of Wakanda; the spear he used to defeat her was incorporated into a statue commemorating the battle, buried beneath a temple in the West African village of K'Fari, where it was protected by a group of Bast's followers. While Wakandan priests were aware of the story of Magba, King T'Challa was kept in the dark about it.

The Volk raided this temple in their quest to gather all seven godkilling weapons, and their leader Archon sacrificed his fellow zealots to power the spear with their blood. He was defeated, however, by T'Challa wielding Bast's Sword, reversing the outcome of the original battle between the two Orisha.[1]

Notes

  • Magba is a West African name, given to a village in the West African nation of Cameroon.
