History:

(Over the Edge#6 (fb) - BTS) - N'Banu was an exceptional student at a Wakandan school with a fascination for America. He caught the attention of the Black Panther (T'Challa), but was also recruited as a spy by T'Challa's rival, Killmonger. T'Challa traveled to the USA to secure the murderous Klaw's extradition and N'Banu went with him, secretly informing Killmonger of his movements.

(Over the Edge#6) - N'Banu accompanied T'Challa to see Foggy Nelson regarding the legal process to secure Klaw. The next day, observed by N'Banu, T'Challa was captured and chained to a bomb by Killmonger, who revealed the boy's treachery. Killmonger, his men, N'Banu and Klaw fled to the docks to return to Wakanda. When N'Banu questioned Killmonger on his ruthless actions, he was struck down and realized the true danger was Killmonger. Aided by Daredevil, Black Panther escaped and thwarted Killmonger. T'Challa entrusted the repentant N'Banu with a special Vibranium pendant; the youth risked his life to help stop Klaw. Although injured, N'Banu affirmed his loyalty to T'Challa and Wakanda, and T'Challa was proud to be considered his friend.
