15 Killmonger Details That Prove He's Marvel's Most Complicated Villain

From Redditoru/SlimJ87D:

The Jaguar is the Panthera of the Americas. The most known Black Panther, the Leopard, is the Panthera of Africa. This is something interesting others might miss.

Erik grew up in America. He took on the Panthera of the Americas, the Jaguar.

From Redditoru/Vin13ish:

On my rewatch,Black Panther, I saw Okoye, the only Dora, skip the “Wakanda Forever” salute to Killmonger.

The lady in purple, whom he chokes out because of the herbs, is apparently the color of the Panther tribe, which includes the Royal Family. So for a tribe member and the king's General to not acknowledge the new king is... Brave.

InBlack Panther, Killmonger broke his spear to use a better stabbing weapon. Shaka Zulu of South Africa used this spear style because it maximized kills with one spear.

From Redditoru/discover_your_world:

InBlack Panther, Killmonger's first three attack locations are where the three sanctums fromDoctor Strangeare located.

FromRedditor:

At the start ofBlack Panther, N'Jobu and a young Zuri seemed to plan something.According to Ryan Coogler, they planned to free Killmonger's mom before King T'Chaka arrived. After events, they killed him. Killmonger's mother stayed in prison and died there.

From Redditoru/SimpliDarnok:

InBlack Panther, when Killmonger takes the throne, he states, “The sun will never set on the Wakandan Empire.” The movie ends showing them watch the sunset, signaling his rule's end.

From Redditoru/comrade_batman:

InBlack Panther, after Killmonger takes the throne, he wears his father's ring on his right hand instead of the necklace.

From Redditoru/FunboyFrags:

From Redditoru/tastycrackers:

InBlack Panther, T'Challa and Killmonger both revisit their father's death after drinking the heart-shaped herb. Both flashbacks end with the boys helplessly holding and rocking their dead fathers. After this point, one became vengeful; the other became kind.

From Redditoru/Azelic:

In the fight for the throne inBlack Panther(2018), Killmonger used a spear and sword. T’Challa fought with a spear and a shield. This shows Killmonger’s imperialistic goals versus T'Challa’s “fight when necessary.”

From Redditoru/salamanca2792:

In the very beginning ofBlack PantherWhen Prince N’Jobu looks out the window after he and Zuri hear noises, he looks to see if his son (Killmonger) is safe and not if a raid is coming.

Michael B. Jordanrevealed he got the inspiration for Killmonger's scars from Denzel Washington inGlory. However, the final product carries tradition. From Redditorraggingmuppet:

Pattern scarification is actually a tradition from thePattern scarification is a tradition of the Kaningara of Papua New Guinea.Some African tribes used similar patterns or plain scarification.
