Women of Wakanda are strong because women are strong, called “the deadliest of the species” sometimes as a caution against underestimating them.1 Among feline species, it is frequently the females who hunt most for prey.² In the land whose people worship a panther god, the goddess Bast, they know what mighty warriors their women can be—each fully warrior and fully woman.³
