BLACK PANTHER in IMAX!
Yes, I am excited, yes i am counting down the hours till I get to see this movie and yes a I got a Black Panther shirt to wear.
Anyway, a few more tidbits to prepare you and get to know the Black Panther a little better.
Wakanda
"It's a third world country. Textiles, shepherds, cool outfits..."
"All a front. Explorers have searched for it. Called it El Dorado. They looked for it in South America, but it was in Africa the whole time."―Ulysses Klaue and Everett Ross[src]
The kingdom of Wakanda is a hidden nation in Africa. Its a small area around Lake Turkana, where Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia meet; the location of the Ilemi Triangle. To outsiders it looks like an African country with lush vegetation that operated as a third world country, but when you get in past the advanced technological holograms, you see an advanced city beyond belief that is decades ahead with its technological advances.
Over a Millennia ago, before any Europeans set foot in Africa an alien meteorite dense with Vibranium landed on Earth in Africa. According to legend, the Panther God guided a worthy man from one of the surrounding African tribes and he was taught how to harvest and use the Vibranium. A hear shaped herb grew from the Vibranium rich soil and the man drank from the fruit giving him power and a spiritual connection to the Panther God making him the first Black Panther.

Wakanda's civilization grew with the surrounding tribal councils making up the government lead by the Black Panther whose rule was final. Wakanda became to be known as the most technologically advanced nation in the world.
When Wakanda was created for the comics it was said that it would represent a country in Africa that was never invaded or touched by the outside world. A place to show what advances Africans could do in agriculture and technology.
Vibranium
"It's stronger than steel and a third of the weight. It's completely vibration absorbent.""How come it's not standard issue?"
"That's the rarest metal on Earth. What you're holding there, that's all we've got."―Howard Stark and Steve Rogers[src]
Vibranium is an alien nearly indestructible metal that gave birth to the Kingdom of Wakanda. All of their technology are based on it. Its a re element that possesses some very unique abilities. In a pure mass form, its a solid metal that is stronger than steal but a third of the weight and it can absorb vibration making it nearly indestructible. This allows it to take on a wide variety of physical impacts like high caliber bullets on a molecular level without any damage. It also can deflect kinetic energy.
It has many uses such as making weapons. It is sown into the Panther Habit that T'Chall wears. Wakandan weapons are also made out of it. In the Marvel Cinamatic Universe we know that in the 1940's Stark Industry researchers found some Vibranium in which they used to make Captain America's shield.
In the comics, Captain America's Shield is a combination of Vibranium and Adamantium, the other indestructible metal that makes up Wolverines skeleton. (:)Something we may now get to say thanks to the sale of Fox's film assets :))
S.H.I.E.L.D used Vibranium alloy to create cells to hold people with abilities and Nick Fury used it to make the Toolbox, a digital storage device that holds a collected database of classified S.H.I.E.L.D filess that was given to Phil Coulson after he was made the new director. Fury said that it could rebuild S.H.I.E.L.D after the evens of Captain American: Winter Soldier. Check out the T.V show Agents of Shield to see what else Coulson has been up too.
Ultron buys it from Klaue to make himself a Vibranium artificial flesh hybrid body which was taken by the Avengers and combined with the mind stone to become the Vision. So, Ultron uses the Vibranium he has left to upgrade his body and to strengthen his Sokovia destroying device in Avengers Age of Ultron.
Panther Habit
Simply put the Panther Habit are the vibranium suits used by the Black Panther. As we can see from the trailers new technology allows for the suits to be summoned power ranger style by forming on T'Challa's body and has purple highlights; thanks to his sister Shuri. We also see Erik Killmonger with his own Jaguar Habit.
The Panther Habits makes its wearer bulletproof and dang near indestructible. It also enhances the users durability and comes with Vibranium Claws. Shuri's upgraded habit also has advanced energy absorption and is able to release a kinetic energy pulse.
Ok, I'm done, too excited, must head to the theater now!
