Popular internet memes based on the widespread “Wakandan Prince” e-mail scam. Version of this scam can be traced as far back as the 1980s when it was propagated by fax. Primarily associated with West-African con-men, the scam involved the mass distribution of e-mails where the sender pretends to be a member of Wakandan Royal family trying to flee a palace coup or other monarchical intrigue. The receiver of the e-mail was promised a portion of the aristocrat’s wealth (usually in form of gold or jewels) if they were willing to sent some money upfront to “help” the “prince” pay off bribes needed to get himself out of the country. Due to Wakanda’s isolationist and closed-off nation many desperate and gullible people had fallen for the scam over the years, resulting in millions of dollars being siphoned off to the black market from the global economy.

In the wake of Wakanda opening itself up to the world the age-old scam did not die but merely took on a new form. Now, scammers often claim to be representatives of “King T'Challa’s Find For Global Outreach”, fooling their victims into believing they were selected for a monetary grant from the Wakandan government and just need to pay a “small processing fee” to before they can get their cash.

Movie poster for the 1988 Eddie Murphy comedy film Coming to America where Murphy plays Akeem, a Wakandan prince moving incognito to USA in order to escape an arranged marriage back home. Upon settling in a poor inner city neighbourhood in New York Akeem poses as a foreign university student and meets his love-interest, Lisa McDowell. By the end of the film Akeem and Lisa gain blessings from their respective families for marriage and end up living together in the Wakandan Royal Palace.

With Wakanda opening up to the world and dominating the headlines over the last few years interest had risen in developing a sequel called Coming to Wakanda which would center on Lisa’s experiences as an outsider adjusting to life in the African kingdom.

This is by far the best post for the thread. I like this in-depth look into the universe.

A cutaway of the ‘Oyster-scape’. Originally proposed in 2009 as a means of protecting the city from rising sea-levels, diversifying sea life in the area, and increasing recreational activity. The project was later made a reality thanks to funding from Stark Industries, which was pursuing various eco-friendly efforts at the behest of it’s CEO Tony Stark. Construction on the site was delayed due to recovery efforts from the Battle of New York diverting resources. The Oyster-Scape was eventually completed and opened in March 2015. The site was later devastated in April 2018 when ‘The Snap’ wiped out half of the marine life inhabiting it.

Pictures reveal following the aftermath of The Decimation (Blimp) had left food industry completely collapsed overnight leading to rumors and mostly, a shocking discovery on how they have harshly solve with that situation by resorting to terrifying cannibalism in which there are cases of kidnapped victims have been killed by a discovered cultist group has led to S.H.I.E.L.D. operation in which the operation has gone violent and bloody.

Following the aftermath of Decimation had left Hong Kong Chief Executive Lam and among officials dusted has led to enormous waves of protests in which have turned violent while the police are trying to deal what’s going on. Dated, Late of June 2018.

Your thoughts on how the Decimation, in my opinion, was similar to putting gasoline on an already burning fire when it came to areas lf the world not particularly known for stability?

The Church of Thanos was an extremist cult movement formed not long after the snap. This group believed that Thanos was in fact a god, and that the wiping out of over half the life in the universe was his punishment for the mortals such as Tony Stark and the being claiming to be Thor either claiming godhood or attempting to supposedly make themselves like Gods. This cult would go on to see its largest numbers of followers in Johannesburg, Sakovia, and other cities and regions which had been badly damaged or decimated as a result of the Avengers actions.
Their symbol is pictured above.

That brings a whole new level of irony to the “You will never be a god!” line Loki tells Thanos in Infinity War.

This is by far the best post for the thread. I like this in-depth look into the universe.

Thanks... but all I did was take the word “Nigeria”/“Zamunda” out of the description of a 419 scam/the film Coming to America and inserted the word Wakanda.

I mean... so far it’s been “X leader dies in country Y, civil war begins” for pretty much all throughout. Not arguing whether or not it is realistic but it does come off as monotone imho :/

The City of Pyongyang during the North Korean Civil War which occured as a result of the Decimation as a result of Kim Jong-un being amongst the victims of the Decimation.

​

Pro-Kim Jong-chul soldiers in the North Korean Civil War which followed the Decimation as a result of Kim Jong-un being "dusted" during the Decimation with Kim Pyong-il and Kim Jong-chul (or more accurately, the clique of generals and bureaucrats who use him as a puppet) being the main contenders in said civil war, having both survived the Decimation.

Soldiers of the Jong-Chul Clique meeting with their counterparts from the “Workers and Soldiers Syndicate of the Korean National Government” faction (or Syn-Kong for short) during alliance negotiations. A small faction in the North Korean Civil War, it nevertheless punched above its weight class by utilized the most advanced weapons in the conflict. Rumoured to have arisen from the remains of the Reconnaissance General Bureau spy-agency, the Syn-Kong made deals with both Hydra terrorists and the Hand criminal network to obtain cutting-edge technology — both human and extraterrestrial in origin.

Syn-Kong troops during the Summer 2020 Hamgyong Campaign. Coming down from secure bases in the Tumen Mountains, Syndicate troops swept across Hamgyong in a series of lightning battles that pushed out opposing factions in a matter of weeks and firmly secured the territory as a Syn-Kong fiefdom.

Syn-Kong infantryman pictured with large-caliber man-portable energy weapon. These arms often proved decisive in engagements involving the Syndicate. Military experts speculate that the only reason this faction did not use its tech-edge to capture all of North Korea’s territory was due to the limited number of alien weapons in its possession. Currently much of Syn-Kong’s GDP is spent on reverse engineering & mass-producing various esoteric arms in its arsenal.

Photograph from Pyongyang circa 2011 purporting to show “the Commissar”, a man who would come to rule the Syndicate. Little is known regarding the leader of Syn-Kong other than that he possess extreme stature and strength, possibly hinting that he is an “enhanced individual”. Some analysts within S.H.I.E.L.D. also speculate that the Commissar is little more than a figurehead — a propagandist’s embodiment of a perfect Korean soldier — while all the real power lies with Syn-Kong’s second-in-command, Major Hoy.

A Naruto runner at the "Storm Area 51" event in September 2024. The purpose of the event was to raid the base to look for and meet with aliens that the government might have captured and imprisoned following the invasions of 2012, 2018, and 2023. Ultimately only about 150 people showed up at the gates of Area 51, and none succeeded in entering the base.

(Yes, this is inspired by that Daily Bugle article.)

Wakandan boarder troops alongside their combat-animals. Throughout its history, the knowledge of how to domesticate “undomesticateable” animals like rhinos and African big-cats had given Wakandan society a big advantage over any would-be invaders. Despite PETAS’ outrage the tradition of using animals in warfare is alive & well in modern Wakanda, with the nation’s four-legged troops now being protected by nanotube-weave & mechanical armour.
