N'Jadaka was a resident of Wakanda when Klaw attacked the country and enlisted the help (forcefully) of his father. When klaw was defeated and his father killed in the battle N'Jadaka was exiled from Wakanda when he took refuge in Harlem New York. It was here that he changed his name to Erik Killmonger and studied at M.I.T. while plotting his revenge on both Back Panther and Klaw. After contacting T'challa he was repatriated back to Wakanda and resided in a village which was named N'Jadaka after him. It was from here he decided to overthrow T'challa but after numerous small defeats he was eventually killed by Black Panther but that was not the last of Killmonger.
The Mandarin with the power of his rings claimed the body of Killmonger and was able to resurrect him for a new nefarious plot. With the destruction of a Wakanda based stark industries warehouse Tony and Rhodey travel to Wakanda to investigate this is when Rhodey is drugged and captured by Killmonger. Then in a battle between Killmongers forces and a life model decoy of black panther it appeared as if panther was killed which Killmonger blames on Tony and uses this to try to gain the support of the people of Wakanda. At this moment T'challa reveals he is not dead and defeats Killmonger in battle this prompts the Mandarin to recall the power of his ring and Killmogers is once again dead. This is not the very end of Killmongers story either being resurrected yet again but we will stop here for now to discuss how this is perfect for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Can this story fix Iron Man 3's Mistake!?
Obviously if you have yet to see Iron Man 3 for whatever reason please do not read on consider this your *********SPOLIER ALERT***************
for those still with us lets explore how easy and beautifully this character can do so much for the 4th phase of the MCU and can be set up this phase. Killmonger is not the most interesting villain in terms of powers he basically is at the peak of human ability in every category but nothing super about him beyond his brutality so making him a main in the first black panther film I cant really see. With that being said if Klaw is introduced in the first panther film it would be almost insulting to not include a cameo of N'Jadaka as his father once helped Klaw in his battles, showing his fathers death and his exile to America in the film or even after credits I think would be just enough to keep us interested until a possible 2nd Black Panther film. Assuming this will be years later due to marvels already planned films, this is where we can see a now fully grown MIT grad Erik Killmonger return to Wakanda and stage his plot to overthrow panther (maybe throw in some avengers action in the U.S.A. to help fill in the movie as Panther would be a full fledged avenger at this time). Sometime during that film it should be alluded to that Killonger is aligned with international terrorist group The Nine Rings(made popular by the iron man movies) and after his death we can get a glimpse of the actual Mandarin (not the joke of a character that enraged fans who watched iron man 3 expecting a bad ass villain with power) the real man himself who we are lead to believe actually exist by marvels "All hail the king" one shot which attempted to correct the mistake of iron man 3. This then sets up what im sure a lot of people are hoping for and that's another iron man which gives us a real Tony vs Mandarin battle it sets the stage for Mandarin to use Killmongers reanimated body to try to break down Starks world relations by framing him for the death of the Black Panther this can be just one plot point in a movie involving multiple avengers and multiple enemies all under the leadership of the Mandarin giving the Villain his just do and giving the fans the world wide multi villain mash up that so many comic book arcs provide. So alone Killmonger may not have the movie drawn in power of Klaw or Man-Ape but he does help move the story of T'challa and the avengers so he should be included in maybe a 2nd or 3rd film next time I will revisit the character to tell the rest of his story and who I think should play him on the big screen.
