Once a major Marvel event begins, it's nearly impossible to halt its momentum. Oftentimes, crossovers bleed into various titles, interrupting the flow of these ongoing series.

The roles were reversed, however, when Black Panther called a momentary ceasefire on 2006's Civil War crossover.

In his own title, King T'Challa had recently been reunited with his childhood romance: Ororo Munroe, aka Storm. When an evil mutant attacked Wakanda, the X-Men came to the Panther King's aid. Afterwards, T'Challa and Ororo spent a considerable amount of time together, discovering Storm's surviving family members in Africa and her long lost grandparents in America. Following this journey, T'Challa proposed to the X-Man, to which she accepted.

Meanwhile, within the superhuman community, tensions were rising. After a superhuman incident in Stamford, Connecticut, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, congress drafted the Superhuman Registration Act. This legislation divided the superhuman community down the middle. Some heroes sided with Iron Man, believing that registration with the government would legitimize their actions. Others, like Captain America, refused to register, believing that the act was an invasion of the heroes' civil liberties. All those who refused to register became fugitives, hunted down by registered heroes.

Despite this tense conflict, T'Challa and Ororo refused to get involved. Reed Richards approached T'Challa early on about joining the registration movement. On behalf of Storm and himself, however, T'Challa declined, stating that registration is not a Wakandan concern. T'Challa and Storm then carried on with their wedding. The power couple threw a large Wakandan ceremony, inviting people from all over the superhuman community. Heroes from the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and many others joined in on the festivities. Such a joyous occasion halted any superhuman conflict, for the most part. Although they tried their best, Captain America and Iron Man could not stop fighting for very long.

Shortly into the reception, the two Avengers broke out into another debate about the registration act, nearly coming to blows. Fortunately, the Black Panther broke up this skirmish before the two leaders left the wedding. The only other conflict occurred between Spider-Man and the Man-Ape, although this fight was thrown in more for comic effect than anything. Indeed, the Man-Ape was shocked that he was actually invited to the wedding.

While T'Challa and Ororo's wedding was mostly peaceful, it wasn't long until the civil war resumed. Following the wedding, the civil war had its first major battle, ending catastrophically. A clone Thor, created by Tony Stark and Reed Richards, brutally murdered Bill Foster, aka Goliath. This event dramatically raised the stakes of the war, causing many to reconsider their position.

T'Challa and Ororo, meanwhile, went on a diplomatic global tour, ending in the US. Once there, the government attempted to force Storm to sign the superhuman registration act, despite her royal dignitary status. This, combined with Bill Foster's death, encouraged T'Challa and Ororo to join Captain America's anti-registration movement. As part of this group of "Secret Avengers", the couple fought in the final battle of the war, ending with Captain America's surrender.

Nothing could truly stop a massive event like Civil War. Still, at least for a moment, the wedding of Black Panther and Storm was able to slow things down.
