Black-Weaver Origin Story (Warning, very long)
Prince Azari T’Challa is the mutant son of King T’Challa and Ororo Munroe, better known as Black Panther and Storm respectively. One day Azari was finishing up his training with his mother with his mutant powers when his Aunt Shuri called him to the lab to look at what they were working on as he had shown interest previously. When in the lab, Shuri shows him the genetically-modified spiders that they had been working on, as Spider-Man (Peter Parker) had wondered why the radiation from the spider’s bite hadn’t killed him and gave his blood for research, so the Wakandans had been genetically modifying spiders to find out how he got the powers he did, why he got those powers specifically, and if the scenario could be replicated intentionally not unlike how it happened for Spider-Man (Miles Morales). When showing the experiments that they had been testing, Shuri notices that one of the spiders are missing, Azari feels a pinch on his hand, as he looks down he sees the spider on his hand and a bite mark. Shuri gets worried as she collects the spider and rushes Azari to the infirmary as he passes out. When he wakes up, he sees his parents hovering above him with smiles on their faces as they realize he’s alive.
Shuri notes that Azari’s body has been altered genetically, saying that not only does he still retain the abilities passed down from his father and mother, but he also may have the abilities akin to Spider-Man. Hearing this news, Azari is ecstatic to find out that he may have new abilities to try out. To best get him well versed in the capabilities of his new powers, his parents make the decision to go to the one place where he can learn to use his powers effectively, New York to train with one of the Spider-Men. Azari arrives in Brooklyn, New York at the door of teenager Miles Morales. When he opens the door, Miles is already well aware of who Azari was and why he was there, all info given to him by Peter. At this moment in this world, Miles’ father was killed in a city hall explosion like in the games, his uncle was in prison, and his mother knew of his identity and why Azari was there. Azari was going to pose as an exchange student as Miles trained him to use his new Spider Abilities.
Months later, Azari has become well versed in his abilities, learning that he is both an avatar to Bast, The Panther Goddess and Anansi, The Spider God (That will come into conflict later in his story), and become great friends with Miles and Peter. He even got Shuri to make him a Vibranium Panther Habit, tailored to adapt to his spider powers. But on one fateful day, Ultron set out on a rampage in New York, Azari, Miles, and Peter were fighting together against some of the drones as the Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men were fighting Ultron. After the dust settles, Azari comes to learn that his father died in battle, alongside Human Torch (Johnny Storm) and Cloak (Tyrone Johnson) to send Ultron to the Negative Zone.
In the midst of this, Azari is given the option to become king and/or Black Panther, but instead, he gives that to Shuri, so she can honor her brother’s legacy He becomes a hero that he will forge himself, a blend of all of what makes him who he is, his own hero, to carry out his father’s legacy in his own way, he will become, The Black-Weaver.
