The following contains major spoilers for Black Panther #11, available now from Marvel Comics.

Black Panther/T'Challa and Captain America/Steve Rogers find themselves disagreeing on the definition of a "terrorist" in Marvel's Black Panther #11.

Black Panther #11 comes from writer John Ridley, artist Germán Peralta, color artist Ceci de la Cruz and letterer VC's Joe Sabino. In the issue, a group of masked criminals attack three major data centers across the globe. Once they've secured the locations, the group sends out a message to the entire world saying, "Live freely, but live in peace. Or else." While the threat remains somewhat ambiguous, the United States government attempts to resecure one of the locations. When said attempt fails, the perpetrators cut off all internet and communications in the state of Wisconsin.

Captain America, Black Panther, Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers and Thor all discuss the matter during a briefing meeting, which is when Captain America calls the group "terrorists." He says, "There are hospitals that can't access patient records. People who can't get money out of the bank. Airports that can't function...The president has asked the Avengers to intervene and top these terrorists before they..." When T'Challa questions the use of the word "terrorist," Captain America elaborates, "They're using violence to bring about political destabilization."

Captain America and Black Panther Don't See Eye to Eye

T'Challa, who has recently been reappointed chairman of the Avengers, points out the group hasn't killed anyone and that their only demand is that people live in peace, which then starts an argument between him and Captain America. The matter gets put on hold when Steve, Carol and Thor attempt to retake control over the locations the group has captured; however, the attempts fail and the heroes soon find themselves arguing with one another once again. "Technically, they didn't do anything," T'Challa points out when Captain America says the group will "pay for what they did." Black Panther continues, "They defended themselves. And when you three had fallen, they allowed you to leave."

Captain America still doubles down on calling them terrorists and begins questioning why T'Challa is acting sympathetic toward them. "As the king of...When I was the king of Wakanda, I believed in being a benevolent leader," T'Challa responds. "I had limitations. Always. And I'm thankful for them. These people...I don't know if they're terrorists or idealists, but they have neither my sympathy nor my sanction." The two keep debating for a time; however, the argument comes to end with Black Panther orders an angered Captain America to stand down and leave the matter be.
