But first, let’s cover a little bit of Black Panther history before you choose the perfect Black Panther costume. After all, you don’t want to suit up until you gain a little bit of knowledge about the iconic comic book character.

T’Challa, the alter ego of Black Panther, first debuted in Marvel comics back in 1966! He was the first African superhero to break into mainstream comic books and he even predated other African American comic book favorites like Luke Cage, The Falcon, and Blade. That makes him quite an important character in comic book history.

The passion for Black Panther became reignited with the release of the film, Black Panther, in 2018, starring Chadwick Boseman in the lead role. With rave reviews and a unique style that sets it apart from the rest of the Marvel Universe.

So then, what kind of Black Panther costumes can you find based on this prolific character? Everything you could want! For starters, we carry a wide variety of adult Black Panther costumes which recreate the look from the movie, including costumes that glow to recreate the kinetic functions of his super-suit in the movie. We even have a Black panther costume women will love to dress in. We also carry awesome Black Panther kids costumes, which help turn your child into the best little superhero on your block. Check out our guide down below for great girls and boys' Black Panther costume looks!

The Black Panther movie showcased plenty of strong female characters, which also make the rounds in our line-up of superhero costumes. We carry Shuri costumes for women and kids. We even carry Dora Milaje costumes, based on Wakanda’s most skilled guardians led by Okoye! There’s truly no shortage of options for women looking to cosplay as their favorite characters from the Black Panther film.

Black Panther Suit Evolution

Want to brush up on your Black Panther costume history? We’ve got you covered! Whether you’re a fan of old-school Marvel Comics or are just about the smash hit Marvel films, it’s worth knowing as much info about Black Panther’s backstory as you can handle. Check out our graphic artist’s depiction of Black Panther’s costume evolution over the years, with helpful details included for each change!

1965-1966

1965-1966

Never actually seeing the print pages of Marvel Comics, the concept for Black Panther started with a Jack Kirby sketch in 1965. He called the character The Coal Tiger. A bold yellow and gray design never made it past the concept stage, but in 1966, as Black Panther continued to move forward in the development process, he got a black suit with gray accessories, and notably a mask with ears. Coincidentally or not, the idea for the mask with ears popped up the same year the Batman TV show became a smash hit. When Black Panther was finally slated to appear in Fantastic Four #52, at the last minute, Stan Lee instructed inker Joe Sinnott to fill in the mask with black. Nobody knows exactly why, but it was months before artist Jack Kirby found out.

1967-1998

1967-1998

When it came time for Black Panther to team-up with Captain America in the pages of Tales of Suspense, Jack Kirby adjusted the costume by removing the cape and collar. This look debuted in Fantastic Four Annual #5. In 1968, Black Panther joined the Avengers with a half-mask for the first four issues. Marvel artists alternated between the “original” and “classic” look for decades until the launch of a new solo series under the Marvel Knights imprint. Artist Mark Texeira introduced gold accessories that added a contrasting color in 1998.

1999-2003

1999-2003

After the first twelve issues, the new series moved from the Marvel Knights imprint to the Marvel Universe proper. New series artist Sal Velluto drew the gold accessories in a sharper and more tooth-like style. The cape often disappeared and reappeared at random, remaining absent for longer and longer stretches at a time. By the end of Velluto’s run, no cape had essentially become the default look. In 2003, T’Challa rejoined the Avengers in Avengers #66. Series artist Olivier Coipel brought back the lines on the gloves and boots, as well as the cape, while keeping the gold accessories and adding a panther head pendant.

2005-2013

2005-2013

In 2005, Black Panther was relaunched with a new #1 and a new creative team. Series artist John Romita, Jr. drew him in a throwback to his original costume, but with two straps instead of one for a more symmetrical look. In 2010, Black Panther took on new duties in Black Panther: Man Without Fear. Daredevil asked a depowered T’Challa to replace him as the guardian of Hell’s Kitchen. Artist Francesco Francavilla drew him with a new armored outfit to match the new role. In 2013, Daredevil returned, and Black Panther went back to his classic role and with it a variation of his “classic” costume. This time it included a toothy necklace similar to the “post-Knight” era, but in silver instead of gold.

2016-2018

2016-2018

To mark Black Panther’s sixth #1 issue in 2016, his costume was given a slight update. Series artist Brian Stelfreeze made the necklace look less tooth-like, and drew a mask that was more cat-like. Also in 2016, T’Challa made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: Civil War. The movie’s costume concept by Judianna Makovsky and Ryan Mynderding was similar in appearance to the “Marvel NOW” oufit, but with more silver accessories and with intricate textures on the black bodysuit. Of course, the Black Panther standalone movie followed in 2018, and costume designer Ruth E. Carter added more silver accessories and simplified the textures on the bodysuit.
