First Appearance: Black Panther VIII#9 (November, 2022)

Powers/Abilities: The Colonialist did not demonstrate direct superhuman abilities, but he commanded powerful forces like the Ferals and the Fourth Battalion, and he directed the actions of Mr. Interpreter (who mirrored his images) and somehow forced the female women under his control to serve his will.

    Perhaps via mechanical assistance, he could teleport across a planet along with Mr. Interpreter, and he could summon and transport the Ferals and the Colonial Volunteer Auxiliary Reserve Expeditionary Fight Force at least sub-planetary distances. He had the means to transport intergalactic distances, etc.

    He spoke in odd phrasing, often exposing his lack of understanding of relationships and disrespect for others, as well as betraying his own insincerity.

    He had no respect for others beyond his own interest, and anything he could not obtain via payment he would seek to take by force, although he used subterfuge in an effort to hide his true intent.
    Along that same respect, the Colonialist appeared somewhat like a ventriloquist's dummy, mimicking the appearance and speaking as an interpreter for the larger version of himself, but the larger version, Mr. Interpreter, was actually subject to his control.

    He sometimes rode upon what appeared to be juvenile elephant, while Mr. Intrepreter rode upon an apparently adult elephant.

    He sometimes sat upon a floating chair, while Mr. Interpreter sat upon a large throne.

    He and his entourage appeared to give off a light pink glow.

History:
(Black Panther VIII#9-10 (fb) - BTS) - The Colonialist appeared to be part of some sort of empire or group that conquered other races and/or manipulated other races into conquering others, often eliminating their free will and strip-mining the resources of various worlds. However, he was the only one of his leader-types seen.

colonialist-bp-bs&minerals(Black Panther VIII#10 (fb) - BTS) - Arriving on the world of the people later known as the Buffalo Soldiers and the Mugabee, the Colonialist convinced the <Buffalo Soldiers> that the Mugabee were secretly their enemies, just waiting for their chance to to kill them all.

    The Colonial Volunteer Auxiliary Reserve Expeditionary Fight Force (possibly the Fourth Battalion) subsequently gave the <Buffalo Soldiers> weapons and taught them how to fight and sent them to kill the Mugabee. In return, the Colonialist had the <Buffalo Soldiers> mine and deliver "useless shiny rocks" <glowing, so probably not diamond> from beneath the Mugabee's land.

(Black Panther VIII#1 (fb) - BTS) - The Colonialist sent their Ferals to graze in Skutustadahreppur, Iceland, considering it to be useless.

(Black Panther VIII#1 - BTS) - The Avengers (including Black Panther, Captain America and Thor) and Dr. Strange banished the Ferals "apparently back to where they came from."

(Black Panther VIII#9) - The Colonialist, astride his juvenile elephant and alongside Mr. Translator and his adult elephant and multiple Objectifications, appeared outside of Avengers Mountain in the North Pole.

(Black Panther VIII#9) - The Colonialist and his entourage attracted the attention of the Avengers present (Black Panther, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Thor). With the Colonialist's interpreter posing as him, and with his posing as the interpreter, he introduced himself, Mr. Interpreter and his "lovingly misogynized" Objectifications (who asked for help in an unidentified language). After noting his honor in meeting this world's best fighters -- referring to them as "Negro Feline," Jingo Commando," "Commander Hottie" and "Aryan King" respectively -- he revealed and apologized for unwittingly causing the conflict with the Ferals in Iceland, having assumed the land to be useless and not needing to have asked permission. He then asked for several tens of thousands of acres of their choice on which the Ferals could feed. After the Black Panther told him that he, his beasts and his colonialism was unwelcome anywhere near Earth, the Colonialist apologized and departed, wishing them well.

(Black Panther VIII#9 - BTS) - As none of the Avengers believed that the Colonialist had departed Earth, the set about tracking him. Although he generated some kind of shielding that cloaked him from electronic surveillance, Captain Marvel programmed their satellites to isolate for the slight energy signature produced when he had arrived. Additionally, the Panther noted that the Vibranium wearables used by the Avengers who had encountered the Ferals to replicate the waveform Strange had used against them (Strange at the time was at least seemingly deceased). Captain Marvel located the Colonialist in My Large Intestine, Texas, and while T'Challa worked with his sister, Shuri, to design an amplifier for Strange's mystic waveform.

(Black Panther VIII#9) - When Captain America, Thor and Captain Marvel confronted the Colonialist in Texas, he welcomed them, and he admitted to being without truth. Noting "third orb" (Earth)'s excellent grazing land, he offered to pay a price for access, and when Captain America refused, he instead rang a bell, noted it to be "feedin' time" and deactivated the force field containing the Ferals. As the Avengers prepared to stop the Ferals from harming the locals, the Colonialist sent the Colonial Volunteer Auxiliary Reserve Expeditionary Fight Force, Fourth Battalion against them, and their first blast damaged his shield.colonialist-bp-feedintime

(Black Panther VIII#9 - BTS) - As the Avengers were occupied fighting the Fourth Battalion, they were unable to interfere with the Ferals progress toward a population center. T'Challa rushed toward them in an Avengers Quinjet carrying the waveform amplifier, but when he landed in front of the Ferals and prepared to active the device, it was shot out of his hands by the Buffalo Soldier, with the impact knocking T'Challa to the ground.

(Black Panther VIII#10 - BTS) - Easily fighting off T'Challa, the Buffalo Soldier destroyed the waveform amplifier with a single bullet, despite it being made of Vibranium. The other Avengers were similarly challenged by the Fourth Battalion, whose shields blocked Thor's lightning bolts.

(Black Panther VIII#10) - Observing the Avengers and the Fourth Battalion fighting, the Colonialist asked the Avengers "is such punchiness required? Would you not prefer to enjoy harmonial bliss through a compulsory coupling with one, or several, of my many Objectifications?" The women, in their foreign language, expressed that they would happily kill the Colonialist for them.

    The Colonialist further expressed how much it pleased him to go from planet to planet, "enforcing liberation on the lowly masses burdened by independent thought. You may not appreciate it now, but you will come to be forcibly gratified in the future."

(Black Panther VIII#10 - BTS) - After hearing of his people's involvement with the Colonialist, T'Challa ultimately convinced the Buffalo Soldier -- in part by putting down his arms and taking a gunshot from the Buffalo Soldier -- that the Colonialist had tricked his people into slaughtering the Mugabee and supplying the mineral wealth they desired. Thusly convinced, the Buffalo Soldier waded into the Ferals, shooting and stabbing a number of them. Eventually mortally wounded, he nonetheless stopped them from attacking civilians until Shuri's ship arrived with a replacement waveform amplifier, which banished both the Ferals and the Fourth Battalion.

(Black Panther VIII#10) - With no one left to defend him, the Colonialist stated, "Well, it is relatively visible that the condition had bigly become not the same. I am of hope forgiveness is created with standard smiled insincerities." As Captain Marvel confronted the larger version of the two men, the "Objectifications" informed her -- whether it was understood is unclear -- that the big guy was the puppet, and the little one was running the show. Regardless, the Avengers resolved to allow the women to take their vengeance on the Colonialist.

    With Mr. Interpreter apparently incapacitated (or dead?), the women battered the Colonialist with kicks and punches, while he futilely asked, "Is there no gratitude for all my impositions?!"colonialist-bp-beatdown
