"Where did they find this guy?"

- Falcon on Black Panther

T'Challa is the prince of the Kingdom of Wakanda, assuming the role of the protector of his tribe, Black Panther.

Due to his father being accidentally killed in a terrorist attack orchestrated by Colonel Helmut Zemo, T'Challa focused on killing the man he believed to be responsible - Winter Soldier. This lead him into the conflict between the Avengers, siding with Iron Man's team.

Biography
T'Challa was born as the crown prince of Wakanda, a highly scientifically advanced country in Africa. When his beloved father T'Chaka was killed in a terrorist attack during a conference in Vienna, T'Challa mourningly took over his rightfull role as King of Wakanda and the mask of it's protector: The Black Panther.

As soon as T'Challa found evidence that the orchestrator of the terrorist attack was none other than the infamous Winter Soldier James Buchanan Barnes, he put on the suit of his father to avenge his death. He followed his track to Bucharest, where he fiercefully hunted Barnes down to a traffic tunnel, battling Captain America and Falcon as well. He showed to be a real match for all of them, but eventually was stopped by War Machine and an entire police squad, to which he revealed himself. The police apprehended Barnes, Rogers and Wilson (fugitives due to the Sokovia Accords) and brought them to Berlin, where Barnes was locked up in a maximum security prison of the german anti-terror police force GSG9.

When Barnes was freed and manipulated by Helmut Zemo, Captain America and Falcon managed to bring him to safety. To get his revenge, T'Challa formed a loose alliance with Iron Man and joined him at the battle of the Leipzig/Halle airport against Captain America and his team. When it later turned out that the terrorist attack that killed his father was actually orchestrated by Helmut Zemo, T'Challa secretly followed Captain America and James Barnes to Siberia, where the Winter Soldier laboratory is located. While Zemo rested on top of a mountain hill, sure to have succeeded in his plan to pit Iron Man and Captain America against each other, T'Challa confronted him but was ultimately unwilling to kill him. He has seen what revenge could do with a man and even stopped Zemo when he attempted suicide.

T'Challa later helped Steve Rogers and James Barnes to safety and gave them asylum in his kingdom of Wakanda where Barnes willingly let himself freeze in a cryo-chamber until the wakandian scientists found a way to cure him of Hydra's brainwashing. Steve warned T'Challa that Iron Man and the United Nations will come and declare war to Wakanda for allowing Steve and his fellow fugitives refuge. T'Challa replied that they should just try to do that, determinedly marveling a giant statue of a black panther.
