History

W'Kabi was the chief of Wakandan security as well as T'Challa's loyal second-in-command. He was killed by Morlun alongside Zuri, trying to protect the wounded T'Challa and the preparation of Shuri as the new Black Panther. The two warriors were buried next to the other, W'Kabi's epitaph being: W'Kabi / Son of Wakanda / Protector of the Nation / Warrior and Friend.
