Tech's Countdown to Black Panther 4: The Black Panther Family

There is nothing like family; from the love and support to the crying and laughter.  Even though Black Panther is one of the baddest of the bad, he has a strong family behind him.  Now, there will be some differences from Comic to Movie but since this is a countdown to the movie we will focus more on that and maybe mention a comic tidbit...

Shuri
Sister of T'Challa

The princess, the younger sister of T'Challa is the head of the Wakandan Design Group and she is the creator of much of Wakandan modern tech including the Panther Vibranium Gauntlets and Black Panther's vibranium laced suit aka the Panther Habits.  Shuri has genius level intellect that is only rivaled by Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, Erik Selvig and Helen Cho.

Shuri also has an algorithm that will deprogram the Winter Soldier Bucky Barns without affecting his memories since T'Challa brought him back to Wakanda after the Avengers Civil War.

In the comics, Shuri's dream was to always become the Black Panther.  She gets to done the suite and even gains some Super Powers.  With her intellect in the movie and the one to design the suits I am sure we will see Shuri suit up.

T'Chaka
Father of T'Challa

T'Chaka was the ruler of Wakanda and former Black Panther until T'Challa reached the age to take over the mantle. After seeing Tony Stark out himself in Iron Man 1, sent T'Challa to save Wakandan hostages.

And, If you have been keeping up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain American Civil War, T'Chaka had agreed to sign the Sokovia Accords (Documents saying that all Super heroes would be identified and under the control of the government) after seeing Scarlet Witch accidentally killed many innocent bystanders (many who were Wakandan) while trying to save Captain American and others from Cross Bones' bomb.

T'Chaka along with T'Challa went to attend the signing of the Sokovia Accords in the Vienna International Center where he was disappointed that Captain America had refused to sign.  Maybe hinting to us that like in the comics that he (or his father depending on timeline) had fought along side Captain America. He also gave a speech talking about how Ultron used Vibranium stolen from Wakanda and how Cross bones had killed so many stating that Wakanda would come out of the shadows and fight for the world.  As he gave his speech a bomb was detonated outside the building casing the room to be engulfed in a fireball hitting him. T'Challa tried to save his father, but he died in his arms.

In the comics, T'Challa had two wives, the first being T'Challa's mother and the second Ramonda being Shuri's mother and Step-mother to T'Challa

Romonda
Mother of T'Challa

Ramonda is the Queen Mother of Wakanda, the wife of T'Chaka and the mother of T'Challa and Shuri.  Nothing is known about her role in the Marvel Cinematic universe yet except unlike the comics I believe she is T'Chaka's first and only wife and the mother to both T'Challa and Shuri.

From the trailers we can see her encouraging T'Challa to fill his father's role and become King and to care on his Legacy.
