Black Panther & Storm Heritage “Chidike”

Chidike (pronounce chi-DEE-keh) means “The strength of God”, (which is every bit as powerful as I want him to be). However, I don’t want his strength to be measured by traditional comic status quo definitions. Y’know by the “Superman” template and such.
He begged his mother to bring him along on her adventures for as long as he could remember. It wasn’t until his young teen years when he finally had enough of being told no by his mother, and the crackle of a white-hot lightning crashed down at the feet of the young mutant that Storm knew it was time to nurture his powers. It wasn’t long before Chidike proved wildly powerful for his age, and was introduced as an advanced and gifted student at the Xavier School. It was there that he was classified as an “Omega Level” mutant by Cerebro and things became serious very quickly for Storm’s young son. Storm vowed to carefully train and hone Chidike’s powers so that he would master them. Upon returning to their home Wakanda, Chidike was overjoyed to see that he would finally get his wish to fly under his mother’s heroic wing and carve his path as a Super Hero.
