White Wolf delves into the complex and intense character of Hunter, portrayed by Sebastian Stan, whose life intertwines deeply with Wakanda’s history. After the tragic death of his biological parents in a plane crash in Wakanda, Hunter was adopted by King T’Chaka. Despite being a foreigner and viewed with suspicion, he developed a profound love for Wakanda and served as one of its most loyal patriots.

Plot: Hunter’s envy towards his adopted brother, T’Challa, who was the rightful heir to the throne, drove him to prove himself as the best Wakandan possible. His intense dedication led to his appointment as the leader of the Hatut Zeraze, Wakanda’s secret police. Known as the White Wolf, Hunter’s fierce loyalty to his adopted homeland was marked by a ruthless approach.

However, after the current Black Panther disbanded the Hatut Zeraze due to their brutality, White Wolf became a mercenary, carrying a deep resentment but still holding a love for Wakanda. His bitterness intensified when T’Challa abdicated the throne to protect Hell’s Kitchen and Manhattan, leaving Hunter to believe that Wakanda needed him more.

In a bid for the Black Panther mantle, White Wolf’s actions became increasingly violent, leading to a confrontation with T’Challa. Defeated and told that Wakanda had no place for murderers, Hunter’s journey continues with a complex blend of loyalty, revenge, and redemption. His role in the “Empyre” storyline sees him fighting alongside Wakandans against the Cotati, showcasing his continued involvement in crucial battles for his adopted country.
