Powers:

Killmonger is a revolutionary leader, well-known to all Wakandans, and even supported by a few. The village he grew up in has even been renamed N'jadaka Village. His radicallist charisma, his mastery of various bodies of knowledge be it social, engineering or politics, his tactical cunning and access to the Altar of Resurrection would likely make him Black Panther's greatest foe, even if his physical abilities were not as amazing as they are. He is an extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant whose evolving uniform has always included deadly elements from studded spikes that inject poison, to wristbands with blades and energy blasters.

Enhanced Abilities: Killmonger has peak level strength, agility, endurance, speed and durability.

Trained Leopards: Killmonger kept several pet leopards, such as Preyy, who obeys his commands.

Origins:

A native of Wakanda, he was born under the name N'Jadaka. When Ulysses Klaw and his mercenaries attacked Wakanda, they press-ganged N'Jadaka's father into helping them; when Klaw was defeated, the father died and his family was exiled. N'Jadaka ended up in Harlem, New York, nursing a hatred against the super villain and T'Challa, the king who'd exiled him. He changed his name to Erik Killmonger and studied at MIT, desperate to avenge his father's death

He eventually contacted King T'Challa and was repatriated back to Wakanda, settling in a village that would later change its name to N'Jadaka Village in his honour. He became a subversive, with dreams of ridding Wakanda of what he termed "white colonialist" cultural influences and return it entirely to its ancient ways.
