WARNING: The following contains spoilers for King in Black: Black Panther #1, by Geoffrey Thorne, Jesus Aburtov, German Peralta and VC's Joe Sabino, on sale now.

In the Black Panther franchise, Ulysses Klaw will always be King T'Challa's worst enemy. He killed T'Chaka in front the boy and has tried on multiple occasions to steal vibranium from Wakanda or destroy the African nation, as sometimes pure hate trumps the profits he could make by exploiting the country.

However, in King in Black: Black Panther, Klaw's legacy actually works in T'Challa's favor. Something belonging to the MCU villain helps save everything the king holds dear from Marvel's vile symbiote god.

With Knull's symbiote dragon infecting all of Africa and foot soldiers breaching Wakanda's shield in seven spots, T'Challa and Shuri are up against the wall. They're left to evacuate the various regions and zones because they're losing members of their army rapidly to the symbiotes. However, the strategy's not all defensive, because T'Challa wants to go on the offensive using Klaw's sonic emitter.

He's had it in his lab, upgrading for war purposes, and this is the best time to use it. It's bittersweet, because not only did it help kill his dad, the emitter has been used against many innocents in Klaw's illicit trade. A younger T'Challa did use it to shatter Klaw's arm, which resulted in the villain attaching a sonic-horn to it years later.

Now, with this same emitter, Black Panther finds salvation amid death and destruction. He uses Shuri's army and Okoye attacking with the Hand of Bast as a decoy, as he has to wait for the dragon to get close. Sadly, Shuri gets infected, but he has to gamble. After retrofitting Klaw's weapon, he's now elevated the power levels and can max it out like never before. The key to all this is the barrier over the nation.

T'Challa knows he can use the sound to hurt the symbiotes, but he needs something to box them in so his adjusted frequency can burn them out. He blasts at full strength into the dome, and it reflects the energy all over. It turns Wakanda into a sonic bubble and the dragon as well, as the symbiote soldiers disintegrate from the noise.

Thankfully, data from Reed Richards and Eddie Brock works out and T'Challa gets to save his loved ones. Still, he hates having to use Klaw's weapon. It was a symbol of crime as well, which T'Challa absolutely detested after the villain wielded it following Ultron taking his arm. Klaw felt it gave him power and authority, but T'Challa knows he has to be responsible with the weapon and desperate times call for desperate measures. He just wants some good to come from it as he staves off another invasion with a weapon that once hurt the nation of Wakanda.
