I know there's like three different versions of his last name, I stick with Caruso, because it sounds Italian, expensive, reminds me of those non-cheap suits and Caruso the Italian opera singer. Basically, upper high class lol
All right, first thing I'm sure you're thinking is "omg Rath is alive!" Yes I am! =D
See what had happened was, I recently got my hands on a gaming computer, which I've never had before. Just turning it on was a trip lol And then... Skyrim... yeah >..> and then all the other games I have that I was never able to play lol
ANYway, second thing Im sure is "omgwth Panther doesn't have hair" when you should be thinking "omg he's too beautiful wtf" Juuuust here me out, I'll explain!
I've been wanting to do more interesting things with Panther for a long time, and after watching some X-Men cartoons featuring Storm, I concluded I wanted to give him white hair, essentially turning him fully into a nubian king lol

I will likely be doing a little mini comic focusing on this new white hair and a little run down of where it came from and a little peek into the Caruso family and the taboo (uh-oh!) of white hair amongst the culture Panther and his family hail from. That's all I'll say on that, no spoilers! =D

If I had to pick an Earth nationality, I'd say Panther and his family are Nigerian/Egyptian hailing from/growing up in both Nigeria and Italy, so Afro-Italian? He's fluent in his native tongue of Yoruba, as well as English, Italian, Spanish, and French. And me and the boyfriend have concluded Keith David is his voice, with Keith Silverstein being the runner up, for added orgasmic power lol

EDIT - I found a way to fix the colors lol Now it looks a little better and more what I intended!
