Call-Sign/CodenameGolden Jaguar
CostumeEssentially a Black Panther habit: A black, form-fitting vibranium nanotech suit with gold colored accentuation that eminates from his necklace.
Power SuiteMaster Martial Artist - He has become one of the most prodigious unarmed combatants on the earth, due to T'Challa's intense training, and lessons taken from Shang-Chi. His fighting style is often a mix of Leopard-Style Kung-Fu, Capoeira, and Muai Thai, though he can and will switch to something different if he deems necessary. He usually doesn't go a day without practice of some kind on his own.
Intelligence - While not being as critically intelligent as his uncle, he is still a remarkably smart individual, as a future king should be. The young man was put through the very best of what schooling could offer, as well as taking after his mother. He has the mental discipline enough to resist mental control to a higher level than most. Being trained all his life to be a king, and with the line of intelligence passed to him, he is a natural-born leader, albeit still very distant.
Heightened Senses - Due to his training, he possesses senses that are animistic in nature. Further, with the heart-shaped herb's enhancements, T'zarri can see and hear clearly for several miles, catch a scent without losing it in most cases, and taste things on a molecular level. He can see in pitch-black darkness, hear the heartbeats of any other organisms in his immediate vicinity and distinguish between them for their unique heart patterns.
Supernatural Agility|Dexterity - While his uncle and mother were both agile in their own rights, T'Zarri can easily be comparable or even eclipse someone such as Spider-Man. In tandem with his level of muscle control, his reflexes and speed are augmented to superhuman levels, making him a difficult target to hit.
Enhanced Strength|Durability - While originally only being a bit more durable than normal humans, the herb's effects have given him enhanced physical strength and durability. This allows him to take several tons of force while still retaining consciousness and functionality. His bones are several times more difficult to break than a the average person's. He can strike with extreme precision and force but also control it on a very thoughtful scale. He can lift objects that are at least 5 tons without much exertion.
Enhanced Endurance|Stamina - Due to his mental discipline, willpower, and physical conditioning, his body is designed to work through the worst of circumstances. He can casually ignore pain and fight, at least mentally, through injuries that would normally cripple or leave another unconscious.
WeaknessesT'Zarri is still a human male, vulnerable to the weather, starvation, dehydration, bloodloss, extreme pressures, and other typical human weaknesses, simply put to a much higher scale. His heightened senses are, well, sensitive. With enough punishment they can be overloaded. Sharp objects can still pierce his skin and damage his organs that aren't directly covered by his bones.
He also has a strong sense of bravado that instills an obsessive drive to get even with someone that wronged him in some way. Whether it be his enemies, friends, family, acquaintances, or even some man he ran into in a coffee shop. This can ultimately lead to his downfall if he hasn't planned for the unexpected.
’Heroing’ ExperienceThe Golden Jaguar has operated on his own for two and a half years in secrecy, working with the Wakandan Dogs of War and his good friend/Sifu, Shang-Chi.
Origin StoryAs a potential heir to the throne of Wakanda, considering that the King has yet to have any children, T'Zarri was trained his whole life to be such. He was named after the father of his grandfather, 'Azzari the Wise' and has yet to live up to such a name. His mother is Shuri, a former Black Panther, and his father was W'kabi, who was lost in battle when the boy was six years old.
In recent years, T'Challa had contracted a disease when off on a battle in space with the Avengers. After much research, a friend from the X-Men determined it to be what is known as the Techno-Organic Virus. There seemed to be no palpable means that they could find to fight off the virus that essentially acted as a cancer, turning T'Challa into a machine. Yet, with the technological advancement of Wakanda, they had managed to prolong his lifespan to an estimated three years in extension.
In this time, they turned to the Panther goddess, Bast, for guidance. She said that while she wouldn't remove the sickness from T'Challa, she would allow another of their bloodline to partake of the heart-shaped herb to continue the current running Black Panther ancestry to keep the country from feudalism. Shuri, however, was barred from such a role having being viewed as a previous failure with her swift death.
That left T'Zarri, whom they finally came to after much deliberation. His levels of training were dramatically increased and he was put through a special ceremony in preparation for what was to come...
