In its 10-year long journey, Marvel has released many successful movies. And just when we thought they can’t surprise us any more, they released ‘Black Panther’. The movie broke multiple box-office records, was a critical success and celebrated by the African-origin community.
So, everyone was excited to see T’Challa put on the suit and take on Thanos in ‘Avengers: Infinity War‘. But when the credits rolled, they were heartbroken to see him (Spoiler Alert!) bite the dust. However, all hope’s not lost because the internet might’ve found T’Challa chilling in Okene, Nigeria.
Twitter user @fhatoh_s posted a simple picture of himself online. But people all around the globe saw nothing but T’Challa.

He said that he’s a graphic designer and designs logos, flyers, T-shirts. He also makes custom clocks and designs men’s wear. But with that beard and those slick expressions, he surely looks like the King of Wakanda.
Look at this photo of Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa in ‘Black Panther’, and tell me if I’m wrong.
After the photo went viral, Twitterati was amazed and immediately hailed him as the King of Wakanda.

The reactions are certainly hilarious and really creative. However, thanks to the cultural impact of ‘Black Panther’, a graphic designer from the small town of Okene is being hailed as a King. That’s why this isn’t just a meme but a huge example of representation in movies.
