Abstract
The release of the 2018 film Black Panther was a global sensation. The movie was based on the adventures of a Marvel comic-strip black superhero who first appeared in the popular series, Fantastic Four, in 1966. The Fantastic Four included "Mister Fantastic", his girlfriend. "Invisible Woman", her brother, the "Human Torch", and their friend, "The Thing". The four were ordinary Americans who gained super-powers and then stuck together through many adventures as science-fiction characters, exploring new frontiers of the universe, defeating villains, and defending earth from intergalactic threats.-
