Tetu is a character appearing inAmerican comic books published byMarvel Comics. Created by writerTa-Nehisi Coates and artistBrian Stelfreeze, the characterfirst appeared inBlack Panther vol. 6 #1 (April 2016).[1] Tetu, initially motivated by a desire to punish the wealthy elite who exploited the less fortunate, formed the rebellious Wakandan group known as the People and attempted to overthrow the king ofWakanda, Black Panther. Despite this defeat, has returned numerous times, continuously gathering new allies to challenge T'Challa once again.[2] His increasing reliance on violence led him to forge increasingly dangerous alliances, drawing in organizations likeHydra, with figures such asBaron Zemo among his collaborators.[3]
Marvel's Donnie Lederer described Tetu as a character who has distorted his mentor's teachings into a philosophy that spreads fear and hatred among the Wakandan people. While Tetu believes he is liberating Wakanda, his actions ultimately show that he is merely replacing one "tyrant" with another.[4]
Tetu debuted inBlack Panther vol. 6 #1 (April 2016),[5] created byTa-Nehisi Coates andBrian Stelfreeze.

Tetu is a former student of theWakandan school Hekima Shulē who left to seek higher knowledge, becoming a shaman, ally ofZenzi, and co-leader of the rebel group known as the People. They later attempt to overthrowT'Challa as king of Wakanda before being defeated, but soon escape and form an alliance withHydra.[6]
Marcos Melendez ofSlashFilm described as a complex character with noble but flawed motivations, aiming to improve Wakanda and fight for the oppressed, despite his unjust methods. Melendez found Tetu would make a worthy adversary in a futureBlack Panther 3, bringing a morally nuanced conflict centered on rebellion and social justice.[7]
Tetu is a magician with the ability to manipulate nature and create portals across time and space.[8] He possesses control over various elements, including plants, earth, and electricity.
