Relationships
Personality - The defining character trait of Erik Stevens, born N’Jadaka and commonly known as Killmonger, was a deep hatred for injustices inflicted on those of African descent and himself. This hatred rarely manifested in rage but instead as an always burning fire that was barely hidden behind his relaxed and informal demeanor.
Before the death of his father, N’Jobu, Killmonger lived a normal life in Oakland, California. From an early age, he was raised by his father to be angry at the conditions that Africans around the world endured while Wakanda, which had the power to change those conditions, stood in isolation. N’Jobu believed that these conditions could be solved through military force and Wakanda's superior technology, a belief that Killmonger took to heart.
After the murder of his father by his uncle, T'Chaka, he developed a deep-seated grudge against the Wakandan royal family and a strong desire for revenge. When he was abandoned, Killmonger came to feel that he and his father were abandoned not for their sins but because Wakanda was too flawed to see the truth they already knew.
Killmonger then dedicated his life to destroying the organizations that had oppressed Africans, making Africans the Apex ethnicity on Earth through superior Wakandan technology, destroying the current regime of Wakanda that wronged his family, and avenging his father's death.
To begin, Killmonger studied the history of African oppression around the world. Not only the history of colonization, slavery and inequality, but also the tactics employed by the oppressive powers, essentially enough to teach a whole university course on the history of African oppression. He studied to understand every wrong suffered by Africans and learn how to break the oppressors with their own tactics.
As an adult, Killmonger became a career soldier to learn military tactics and the physical abilities needed to do so. Killing others became second nature to him, to the point of ritualistically marking himself to represent each of his victims. He also developed a high degree of cunning and charisma, shown by using Ulysses Klaue's corpse to earn passage into Wakanda, then provoking T'Challa and the Wakandan tribal leaders into asking for his true identity.
Destabilizing governmental organizations also became second nature to Killmonger, as demonstrated by his actions as king of Wakanda. Killmonger did not overtly admit to wanting to destroy Wakanda, but Everett Ross aptly observed that, during his tenure as king, Killmonger was consciously or unconsciously following his textbook training on how to bring down a governing body: Kill the leader and then destroy the government's power resources, chiefly key means of ascension to or succession of power. These same actions show a degree of folly in Killmonger's mentality as he cannot create a new world order by simultaneously destroying the head of that new order.
Killmonger trained his whole life to right the wrongs against him and his race, but his goal was always doomed to fail due to his sociopathic nature. Killmonger made no efforts to connect with those he fought for, the Wakandan’s he came to rule, or even his own blood family. Instead, he was fully prepared to kill or sacrifice them all for his cause without emotion.
