Black Panther has a nicer ring. Could be I'm just used to it. Hard to say.

I grew up reading comics in the period where they stopped translating a lot of the names, but back in the day Tchalla was called "Pantheren" (You'll never guess what that means), I just think Coal Tiger sounds more... I don't know epic, then The Black Panther...

I like it, but wasn't really aware of that alternate name. Plus, not to mention the group called The Black Panthers.

I think he pre-dates the group though...

Oh, I'm just saying it's tricky having two benchmarks in African-American history, both sharing the same name but for different reasons, only to find out one has another similar variation.
