Timeline
Timeline:
* 1988: N'Jadaka is born in Wakanda, his father a relative and close adviser to King
T'Chaka.
* 1996-2002: N'Jadaka is trained with the intention of becoming a Wakandan warrior,
showing a natural skill at fighting, although he is often chastised for his mean streak.
* 2003:
N'Jadaka is taken by associates of Ulysses Klaw during the attack that lead to King T'chaka's
assassination. He spends three years as a slave, abused and mistreated. It is here that he devises
the name Killmonger and fantasizes about the power it will take to destroy those who cross him. When
no one comes to his rescue, the boy's hatred turns to Wakanda and the family of King T'Chaka for
abandoning him.
* 2006: Killmonger escapes, killing his captors and settling in America. There,
he crafts a new life and identity for himself, using some of the skills he gathered while enslaved
and soon enrolls in college in the United States.
* 2010: His education finished, Killmonger
finds work as a mercenary and a thief, reclaiming Wakandan artifacts from museums and building
credit and reputation for a claim to the Wakandan throne.
* 2014: Killmonger takes advantage of a
Wakandan civil war to attempt to take the throne from T'Challa. Defeated and humiliated, he retreats
into the Wakandan wilderness, where he eventually quests to find the heart-shaped herb for himself.
Empowered, he returns to the wider world to craft himself into an even deadlier weapon.
* 2020:
Killmonger has spent the last few years resuming his terrorist activities, working as a mercenary
and building contacts within Wakanda. He has a few loyalists still operating in his home nation,
waiting for his word, as he spreads fear in the outside world and sows chaos until the time comes to
take his rightful place.

Personality
Ambitious:
Killmonger craves power. After his years of enslavement, he has no intention of ever being under
anyone's thumb ever again. He is constantly seeking more power, more influence, more potence to make
sure that he is the baddest man in the room at all times.
Bitter:
Killmonger feels that his birthright was stolen from him. His father had ambitions beyond his
reach and passed those onto his son. When he felt Wakanda abandoned him, Killmonger grew to deeply
resent and hate his home nation, especially the royal family that he felt had left him to die (in
truth, they likely thought him killed in the attack that slayed the king). His resentment poisons
his life and makes it hard for him to find joy or pleasure in anything, the world tasting ever sour
on his tongue.
Charming:
For all his wicked ways, Killmonger is a charismatic individual. He cloaks his savagery in
style. He talks a good game and has a sharp sense of humor. His good looks and force of personality
allow him to win people over, sometimes even those who know exactly what kind of man he really is.
He can even seem jovial, playful, his brutality masked behind a smile.
Swagger:
Killmonger has immense personal style and confidence. He carries himself as if he already rules
the world, unafraid to look anyone in the eye. He has a sharp wit and a skill for trash talk. He can
easily be regarded as 'cool' by those who don't mind him being a sociopathic murderer.
Vicious:
Killmonger doesn't play. He's cruel and savage in his actions, without mercy or honor. He
believes in doing whatever you have to do to win. He will cut throats, break limbs, and sacrifice
allies to get what he wants. He enjoys hurting people and he's damn good at it.
Character Sheet
Powers
Enhanced Physicality:
After ingesting the heart-shaped herb, Killmonger gained incredible enhancements to his
physicality. His stamina, endurance, and recovery times are roughly five times those of the normal
human maximum, allowing him to fight for hours without tiring or go days without sleeping if need
be. His agility and dexterity are similarly enhanced, giving him impossible flexibility and control.
He can strike with incredible accuracy and can perform advanced acrobatic feats at the drop of a
hat. His body's tissues are hyperdense and tough, enabling him to take blunt force trauma and force
much greater than an ordinary person. He can survive a fall from the top of a building and get up
mostly unscathed or a few blows from a superhuman powerhouse without breaking into pieces. His
toughness doesn't protect him from penetrating attacks such as bullets or blades.
Enhanced Senses:
Killmonger has superhuman senses, much like a wild animal, his gifts useful especially in
hunting and tracking. His sense of smell allows him to identify others by scent, able to follow
their trace through wilderness or even urban environments. He can identify if someone is armed by
the smell of gun oil or know what someone's cooking several blocks away. He's become skilled at
refining and individualizing the scents even when the world is crowded with them. His hearing will
let him hear someone's heartbeat, giving away the telltale skip of a lie, or will let him detect
even extremely stealthy individuals trying to sneak up behind him by their breath or the creak of
their foot on the ground. His sense of taste can detect a grain of salt in a spoonful of sugar,
while his sense of touch will let him feel the vibration of a foot on a floorboard from two floors
down.
Enhanced Strength:
Killmonger's strength has been significantly enhanced by the heart-shaped herb, enabling him to
lift/press around two tons, more than capable of caving in someone's chest with a punch or throwing
a small car.
Regeneration:
The herb has given Killmonger low-level regeneration. His healing isn't instantaneous, but it is
fairly rapid compared to an ordinary human. Surface level cuts and abrasions will heal in a matter
of minutes, broken bones in a matter of hours. More serious injuries can take days to recover from,
depending on their traumatic level of injury. If he's put in mortal danger, his body may enter a
catatonic state in order to devote its energies fully to recovery and pull him back from the brink
of death.
Skills
Criminal:
Killmonger spent his early teen years as a slave for an international smuggling ring. He learned
counterfeiting and forgery, lockpicking, scrounging, and various other skills. He knows how to fit in
with criminal organizations and knows a lot of the language and habits of the criminal
class.
Gifted Intellect:
Killmonger has been blessed with a gifted intellect that he has only broadened and worked on his entire life. Fueled by anger and rage, Killmonger's focused fields of study include Industry, Politics, Genetics, Technical Design, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemistry among many others. During his time in the States as Erik Stevens, Killmonger graduated from M.I.T. with a Ph.D. in Engineering and an MBA. His brilliant mind is often put to use in the field of science and technology in which he is a masterful inventor and a specialist in the study of memories and brainwaves.
Leadership:
Killmonger is a leader of great charisma and skill. He's good at holding people's attention, an
adept speaker and interlocutor of ideas and principles (even some he doesn't necessarily believe in
himself). He knows how to direct others in combat and to organize missions. He earns the loyalty of
those close to him and takes full advantage of that loyalty, even if it isn't always
deserved.
Stealth:
Killmonger has made plenty of money robbing museums, stealing artifacts of Wakandan and other
African cultures, either for recovery purposes or to sell them on the black market. He can move
incredibly silently, hide in shadows and remain still and unmoving for hours at a time if need be.
He knows how to bypass most any conventional security system and will take a crack at the most
advanced ones. He likes to catch enemies off guard and is particularly prone to backstabbing and
setting up ambushes.
Survival:
Killmonger is a skilled survivalist. He can live entirely in the wilderness on his own, able to
hunt, find water and create shelter on his own. He can survive indefinitely in wild conditions,
especially jungle or forested ones, although he could still function in plain, desert or even tundra
if need be. He's a skilled tracker and is capable of setting traps for man or beast.
Terrorist:
Killmonger knows how to create chaos. He is adept at picking good targets, the right time to
strike, and generally having the ability to create international incidents of terror and
destruction. He's become an expert demolitionist capable of using a wide variety of explosives (and
is equally adept at their defusing). His rhetoric can be extreme and inspiring of violence in others
and he has no compunctions about injuring so-called innocents in the process. He believes in the
power of violence to convey a message and does so with almost artistic flair.
Warrior:
Killmonger has trained since he was just a small boy, first to be a warrior in service to
Wakanda, then to his own purposes as he grew older. He is fully immersed in Wakandan martial arts,
one of the most formidable practitioners thereof. He has supplemented these skills with further
studies of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai kickboxing and Krav Maga. His fighting style is known for
its brutality, Killmonger's vicious nature leading him to inflict pain with glee, trying to break
bones and cripple limbs, striking at pressure points. He likes to humiliate foes, not merely defeat
them, although he can be efficient if the situation requires it. He's a formidable user of weapons,
notably knives, spears, and clubs, all of which he's used to great effect in the past. He is skilled
with conventional firearms and weapons, but largely eschews them as Western corruptions better
suited for the lazy and incompetent.
Resources
Caches:
Killmonger maintains various caches of weapons at locations around the world. These caches
contain conventional weaponry, high explosives, disguises, various identities, and money to be used
by him or forces in his employ in their pursuit of chaos.
Costume and Equipment:
Killmonger's costume is a high-density kevlar/polymer weave capable of resisting high-velocity
gunfire and conventional bladed weapons. He has numerous pockets built into it to hide devices and
tricks he can use to his advantage. He frequently wears Wakandan tribal masks, fearful in
appearance, to strike terror into his enemies. His greatest weapons are a twin pair of curves
Vibranium daggers that he recovered from a museum in London, the sacrificial blades capable of
piercing through most forms of armor short of adamantium.
Criminal Ties:
Killmonger has deep ties to the black market, especially in regard to African treasures and
artifacts, but also in terms of weapons and materials for terrorist activity. He can acquire even
military-grade weapons for sale through these avenues, including vehicles and high-level weaponry
like surface-to-air missiles or even energy rifles. As a mercenary, he's frequently done work for
other terrorist agencies such as HYDRA, COBRA, the League of Assassins, and some of the world's
shadier governments, and he maintains contacts should they wish to employ him again.
Followers:
Killmonger has a variety of dedicated followers both in and out of Wakanda, dedicating their
lives to him and working to undermine the Wakandan ruling class in order to make way for his
ascension to the throne. His agents generally work in secret but have a variety of conventional and
warfaring skills that can be put to use in times of need. If he makes another attempted coup, they
will be on the front lines by his side.
Identity:
N'Jadaka continues to use his American identity of Erik Stevens as a cover. There are those that know his true identity and nature but to most of the general populace, he's merely M.I.T. graduate Erik Stevens.
Preyy:
Killmonger's most loyal ally and companion is a highly trained leopard named Preyy. Killmonger
rescued him from smugglers and nursed him back to health. He's trained and worked with the animal
since then and it acts as his protector, weapon, and friend. Preyy can perform simple tasks such as
scouting or retrieving objects and will also kill anyone his master tells him to kill - or at least
try.
Vibranium:
Killmonger has a modest stash of Vibranium at his disposal. Over the years, he's taken to using theft and terrorist actions to collect Vibranium from sources outside of Wakanda. Killmonger has also used his followers and loyalists from within Wakandan borders to smuggle the valuable mineral out of Wakanda and into his hands.
Wakandan Royal Ring:
A Vibranium ring made for the members of the royal bloodline of Wakanda. Anyone in possession of this ring is of royal descent and may, at the proper or opportune time, lay claim to the Wakandan throne. Killmonger wears this ring on a chain around his neck out of spite for the kingdom that left him for dead.
Weaknesses
Arrogance:
Killmonger really does think he's better than everyone. His abuse and torment in his youth have
been drowned in overweening confidence, swagger, and self-belief. While this has helped him in some
ways, he's too conceited to see his own flaws and failings and can get himself into trouble greater
than he can handle.
Obsession:
Killmonger's hatred and obsession with killing T'Challa and taking his place as King of Wakanda
drives his every action. While he pursues mercenary work and builds his resources, he is nonetheless
always plotting and scheming in the back of his head, thinking about his enemy and growing more
embittered as time goes on. This obsession can lead him to act irrationally, be triggered by certain
events, or to throw aside every plan he has for an opportunity to take down the King.
Sadist:
Killmonger plays with his food. He toys with enemies, trying to maximize the humiliation he
inflicts. He taunts, he teases, he throws salt in wounds, and twists knives in backs without
finishing the job. Often, his physical superiority doesn't make this cost him much, but some enemies
cannot be given such a chance to recover.
Traitor:
Killmonger is regarded as a traitor and a wanted criminal by the Wakandan government. In his own
country, he would be hunted. While he has his core of loyalists, most Wakandans despise and hate him
for the killer he is. In his heart, Killmonger even knows that the Panther God would never accept
him, that he could never truly be the Black Panther. He says he doesn't care but that, of course, is
a lie. He lies easily and well, even to himself.
