To celebrate Black Panther’s success, here’s a spotlight on the only Wakandan X-Men character, Gentle!
Hank McCoy's Medical Entry: Gentle's mutant gift of superhuman strength could rival the Hulk himself if the strain on his body didn't almost kill him every time he used it. Vibranium tattoos and meditation techniques seem to be our only answers to alleviate the terrible symptoms of his powers. Still, I'm glad Storm sent the boy to us when she became Queen of Wakanda for I'm told, he lived as an outsider amongst the proud Wakandans, due to his mixed heritage. I can only hope that Jean can succeed where I've failed and find a way for him to control his powers before the X-Men's incessant struggles take an unrecoverable toll on his body.
