Biography

N'Jadaka

Erik Killmonger was created by Don McGregor and Rich Buckler where he made his first appearance in Jungle Action v1 #6 (September, 1973).

In Black Panther, the character starred as the primary antagonist who was known as Eric Stevens who appeared in the live-action film set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he was portrayed by actor Michael B. Jordan. He was the son of an American woman and N'Jobu who was a prince of Wakanda and King T'Chaka's younger brother. His father was sent to America as a spy where he came to believe that black people were oppressed and intended to start a revolution. The family lived in an area in Oakland, California in the United States of America. To accomplish that, he began selling black market Vibranium as he intended to spread it around the world as a weapon leading to a confrontation with his brother where he was killed after it was revealed he was a traitor. Though aware of Eric's existence, King T'Chaka left the boy behind in America as he felt that bringing his slain brothers child would create chaos in Wakanda. A young Eric came into his apartment to find his father dead and swore revenge as he knew of his family heritage despite never having gone to Wakanda. When he grew up, he enlisted as an American black-ops soldier where he treated warfare as a game and racked up a large number of kills to the point that his nickname was Killmonger. This was all to prepare him for an eventual challenge for the throne of Wakanda.
