T'Challa and crew are returned to their time by Balder the Brave. T'Challa reveals that the "Happy Pants" Black Panther is not from the past, but was sent from 10 years in the future by the Brass Frogs. The future Black Panther collapses and is placed into stasis again to save his life. T'Challa reveals that he himself now suffers from the same aneurysm due to his fight with Iron Fist. Queen Divine Justice releases Man-Ape, with a promise not to harm T'Challa, in order to save her people. Man-Ape doesn't harm T'Challa, but smashes the stasis tube of the future Black Panther.
