 All these people running for the fainting couch over a race-swapped
 Black Panther... I bet none of them have had any problems with
 Hollywood's race-swapping crusade to turn popular white characters
 black.
 
 ------------------------
 Marvel fans are in uproar after the debut of a controversial new
 storyline that reimagines Black Panther's legacy-- with a shocking
 twist: the latest heir appears to be white.
 
 The premiere issue of MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME dropped
 Wednesday and introduced a new character named Ketema, whom T'Challa,
 prince of the fictional African kingdom of Wakanda and the original
 Black Panther, refers to as his son.
 
 The comic reveals that T'Challa fathered Ketema with his early love
 interest Monica Lynne, a character pulled from earlier comic arcs.
 
 In a major shakeup, Ketema grows to resent his father and ultimately
 challenges him for the throne. After defeating T'Challa in battle,
 Ketema removes his mask-- only to reveal blond hair, blue eyes, and
 distinctly Caucasian features.
 
 The reveal sent social media into meltdown.
 
 "They looked at this and thought it was a good idea?" one user fumed.
 
 Another quipped, "Life is a horror movie in 2025."
 
 The character of T'Challa was famously portrayed by the late Chadwick
 Boseman in Marvel's BLACK PANTHER films, celebrated for honoring
 African culture and representation. Fans are questioning whether the
 latest storyline undermines that legacy.
 
 "Black Panther having a white son would be ridiculous," one person
 posted, while another raged, "Black Panther is white! Marvel actually
 did the unthinkable and it's insane!"
 
 Some even speculated about which actor might play the character in a
 future film.
 
 "I guess he looks a little like Ryan Gosling," one fan wrote.
 
 Others were quick to clarify that the writer behind the new comic is
 black.
 
 Christopher Priest-- who co-created MARVEL KNIGHTS: THE WORLD TO COME
 alongside Joe Quesada, Richard Isanove, and Richard Starkings-- is
 widely recognized as the first black writer-editor in mainstream
 comics. He previously served as editor of Spider-Man in the mid-1980s
 and later penned major titles at DC, including Green Lantern.
 
 Still, one disgruntled fan claimed: "If there would be any writer who
 would try to give the Black Panther mantle to a white person, of course
 it would be Christopher Priest-- the man who made it his job to shove
 white characters into Wakanda's mythos."
 
 The premiere issue kicks off with T'Challa’s death but the real twist
 comes as the story rewinds to reveal how he got there. After the death
 of his wife (X-Men's Storm), T'Challa attempts to preserve his legacy
 by fathering a child with Lynne, one of his earliest love interests in
 the comics. That child, a son named Ketema-- whose name means
 "fortified encampment"-- grows up to challenge his father for the
 throne of Wakanda.
 
 Wearing the full Black Panther suit, Ketema defeats T'Challa in combat
 but spares his life. Then comes the jaw-dropping reveal: he removes his
 mask to show that he is, in fact, white. The big question lingering for
 fans is how T'Challa could possibly have a white son. Some readers are
 now speculating that Monica Lynne might not be the boy's mother after
 all. Instead, attention has turned to Nicole Adams-- a character who
 seems to appear on the cover of Issue #3-- as a more likely candidate.
 Although Nicole was believed to have died back in 2000, long-time comic
 fans know that death is rarely permanent in the Marvel universe.
 
 Regardless of how the lineage shakes out, one thing has stunned readers
 across the board: the Black Panther mantle now appears to belong to
 someone who presents as white.

Wait, I'm confused! Isn't it supposed to be true among "progressives"
that anyone can "identify" as anything they like, meaning that the son
of a black man and a white woman *could* identify as black, regardless
of his skin colour or even ethnic heritage? In fact, did Obama do
exactly that? The only difference here is that this hypothetical son of
a black man and a white woman is being imagined as somewhat
lighter-skinned than his father, which is entirely possible given what
we know about genetics and history.
