A black panther is the melanistic color variant of any Panthera species. Black panthers in Asia and Africa are leopards (Panthera pardus) and black panthers in the Americas are black jaguars (Panthera onca).
Melanism in the jaguar (Panthera onca) is conferred by a dominant allele, and in the leopard (Panthera pardus) by a recessive allele. Close examination of the color of these black cats will show that the typical markings are still present, but are hidden by the excess black pigment melanin, giving an effect similar to that of printed silk. This is called "ghost striping". Melanistic and non-melanistic animals can be littermates. It is thought that melanism may confer a selective advantage under certain conditions since it is more common in regions of dense forest, where light levels are lower. Recently, preliminary studies also suggest that melanism might be linked to beneficial mutations in the immune system.
The Javan leopard was initially described as being black with dark black spots and silver-grey eyes.
The Black Panther (T'Challa) is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer-editor Stan Lee and penciller and co-plotter Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Fantastic Four #52 (July 1966). He is the first black superhero in mainstream American comics, debuting several years before such early African-American superheroes as Marvel Comics' the Falcon and Luke Cage, and DC Comics' Tyroc, Black Lightning, and Green Lantern John Stewart. The Black Panther was ranked the 79th greatest comic-book character by Wizard magazine. IGN ranked the character the 51st greatest comic-book hero.Chadwick Boseman will play the Black Panther in several scheduled films as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Black Panther's name predates the October 1966 founding of the Black Panther Party, though not the black panther logo of the party's predecessor, the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, nor the segregated World War II Black Panthers Tank Battalion. He is the first black superhero in mainstream comic books; virtually no black heroes were created before him, and none with actual superpowers. These included the characters in the single-issue, low-distribution All-Negro Comics #1 (1947); Waku, Prince of the Bantu, who starred in his own feature in the omnibus title Jungle Tales, from Marvel's 1950s predecessor, Atlas Comics; and the Dell Comics Western character Lobo, the first black person to star in his own comic book. Previous non-caricatured Black supporting characters in comics include U.S. Army infantry private Gabriel Jones of Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos.

Standing in the city with the clocks counting one
And your face is still wet from the night before
As your tears hit the ground blue flowers spring from them
Baby, I?m ashamed of the things I put you through
Baby, I?m ashamed of the man I was for you
And all you said in your quietest voice was
I needed you as much as they do
And all you said in your quietest voice was
I needed you as much as they do
How fast must we run
Before we can just take off in flight?
How far must we run
Before they do not recognize us?
So let?s take this from the start
You?ll be me and I?ll be you
And let?s try not to complain about your smoking
And my distant heart, and my distant heart, and my distant heart
And all you said in your quietest voice was
I needed you as much as they do
And all you said in your quietest voice was
I needed you as much as they do
Too many mirrors in this house
And I don't like to see myself like this
I'm becoming the man I used to be
I guess these walls could tell you a thing or two
Things that you really don't want to know
Lend me your eyes for your point of view
Lend me your feet and I'll stand by you
And all you said in your quietest voice was
I needed you as much as they do
And all you said in your quietest voice was
