The Black Panther comic book character made his first appearance in July 1966 in the Fantastic Four #52. The creators originally considered calling him The Coal Tiger. Marvel attempted to distance the character from the Black Panther Party, which often engaged in violent confrontations with police. For a time, the character was just called The Panther and then renamed the Black Leopard to avoid association with the controversial group. However, neither name caught on.
