Timeline[]
- 2010
- In Afghanistan, Tony Stark's convoy was ambushed by the Ten Rings, but he was saved by Erik "Killmonger" Stevens. Returning to Stark Industries with Tony, Killmonger exposed Obadiah Stane's involvement in the ambush plot and together he and Tony built a humanoid combat drone using Killmonger's vibranium. (What If...? 1.06)
- Needing more vibranium to create a drone army, Tony arranged for James Rhodes to buy it from Ulysses Klaue. At Killmonger's behest, Klaue leaked word of the transaction to Wakanda to lure T'Challa to the exchange. Killmonger killed T'Challa and Rhodes, making it look as if they had killed each other. (What If...? 1.06)
- Tony confronted Killmonger using the drone, but Killmonger defeated it and killed Stark, disguising it as an attack by the Wakandans. (What If...? 1.06)
- Killmonger killed Klaue and reunited with his estranged family in Wakanda. (What If...? 1.06)
- The Americans, led by Thaddeus Ross, sent the completed Stark Industries drone army to attack Wakanda in retaliation for the murders of Rhodes and Stark. Killmonger led the successful Wakandan defense. In the battle's aftermath, Killmonger ingested the Heart-Shaped Herb, becoming the new Black Panther. As the United States prepared to declare war on Wakanda, T'Challa's sister princess Shuri informed Pepper Potts of Killmonger's deceptions and proposed to expose the truth. (What If...? 1.06)
