Synopsis

Black Panther: The Man Without Fear (2011 series) #523 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

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….

Review / Commentaries


Black Panther: The Man Without Fear (2011 series) #523 Review by (March 18, 2025)

Review: And the wrap up is a bit simplistic, Black Panther punching all the right people then zapping Hate-Monger with some low voltage. So everything is sorted out and T’Challa can go back to doing what he was doing. But the art again gives it a very intense look, especially the scenes where Black Panther is challenging Hate-Monger at the rally, lit by vibrantly colored flames.

Comments: Last issue by this title; retitled BLACK PANTHER: THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN ALIVE with #523.1. Hate Monger (Josh Glenn) is next seen in the FURY: SHIELD 50TH ANNIVERSARY one-shot. Final appearances of American Panther and Julian Chambliss.
