And now Black Panther, supposedly
trapped with Sofija in the Hate-Monger’s captive police station, springs his
trap. As the power goes own, putting everyone in the dark. Sofija hits a signal
that opens her and BP’s cuffs, then hands him night-vision goggles and the two
of them beat up everyone in the room, Black Panther facing and beating down
American Panther. A cop gets the generator going again and Sofija shoots him
with a knock-out dart. But Hate-Monger himself has escaped. Black Panther
pursues him to where he is stirring up a mob, encouraging them to burn down the
refugee center. HM asks who has the courage; one man steps forward—and Panther
knocks him down. Another ties to clout Panther with a bat; Panther breaks his
arm. Black Panther leaps onto the stage, seizes the bad guy and affixes an
electrode to his head. The mob storms the stage and grabs the hero but
immigrants whom Okwonko has helped come to his aid. Then American Panther
arrives and attacks Black Pnther who kicks him in the face then hits the
button, the electric charge dissolving the Hate-Monger’s spirit and causing it
to dissipate and be carried away by the wind. APanther pulls a gun and starts
shooting at BPanther so T’Challa disarms him and kicks him into the crowd where
he is overwhelmed and carried off….
The police arrive and arrest Josh
Glenn who says he was never more himself than when he was Hate-Monger. They
also have American Panther though his costume is missing….
Later that night, Panther breaks
into the Federal Building to keep his promise to Foggy Nelson that he would
make Foggy’s troubles vanish. Which he does by deleting Foggy’s file….
Two days later, Dr. Okwonko and
Sofija are repairing the Devil’s Diner when Julian Chambliss enters. The former
owner asks if there is something he can do because he still loves the diner…so
Sofija sets him to cleaning out the toilets….
And somewhere else we see an
anonymous man donning the American Panther costume, feeling that the world was
awaiting his return….
