THIS IS IN THE REBOOTED MCU, some actors will stay others will go. Decades ago a family from Wakanda's neighbor country of Mohannda was fleeing their country after their village was burned to the ground but they were caught and killed by their persecutors, only their baby boy named Hunter was spared after his father hid him in the bushes. Later in the evening more of the terrorists were searching through the forest but were taken out by the Black Panther, prince S'Yan of Wakanda. When the prince found the boy he took him back home and showed his brother King T'Chaka, who then took the boy in and raised him as his own. Hunter was loyal to T'Chaka and Queen Mother, but when she died and T'Chaka remarried and had kids of his own Hunter became jealous of young T'Challa who was declared heir to the throne. As teens Hunter and T'Challa were trained by their uncle S'Yan to become the new protectors of Wakanda. Eventually S'Yan was killed and T'Challa became the new Black Panther, Hunter believing that he would become King because there had never been a King Black Panther, but when T'Chaka was killed during the events of Civil War, T'Challa became the King because the council would not allow an outsider to take the thrown, so Hunter remained in his position as leader of the Hatut Zeraze, Wakanda's secret police and defenders. Because of this Hunter began to resent his younger brother and swore to take the throne which in his eyes belonged to him.
