Trivia[]
- It is unknown how T'Chaka died in park continuity due to mixed references between the MCU and comics, both of which had different deaths for the King. The movie Captain America: Civil War (2016) which killed-off T'Chaka in the MCU is also presumed to be non-canonical to the parks. In the original comics (as well as T'Chaka's first appearance), he was murdered by super-villain Ulysses "Klaw" Klaue while pushing T'Challa out of the way of Klaw's sonic-blaster. In the MCU, he was killed by a non-faithful adaptation of Captain America villain Baron Helmut Zemo in a United Nations bombing.
