History:
(Black Panther: The Man Without Fear#527 (fb) - BTS) - Mr. J'Baro, a member of the Jabari Clan who was on the Board of Directors for the Bank of Wakanda, owned a chain of grocery stores and became wealthy. When the Black Panther, King T'Challa, dissolved the nation's Vibranium to save the country, J'Baro became disillusioned. He began raising his prices to profit off of others, then he plotted with the Kingpin, who planned to take over the Bank of Wakanda and exploit the country's resources. Kingpin began killing other members of the board of directors.
(Black Panther: The Man Without Fear#527) - J'Baro arrived in New York City, where he was to meet with Kingpin at his base, Shadowland. A chauffer picked J'Baro up at the airport, soon revealing himself to be T'Challa. Crashing the car, T'Challa threatened to let J'Baro plummet to his death if he didn't sign over his vote on the board to him. J'Baro refused until T'Challa threatened to buy out his grocery stores, then J'Baro conceded, but T'Challa bought the stores anyway, promising to always protect Wakanda from threats internal and external.
