White Lion (Freedom City)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The White Lion is one of the characters presented in the Freedom City campaign setting available for the Mutants and Masterminds role-playing game. Like most FC characters he is a pastiche of an existing comic book character: White Lion is the FC version of Marvel Comics' Black Panther.

The White Lion is King M'Zale of Dakana, a fictional nation analogous to Marvel's Wakanda. Just as Wakanda has a rare and valuable resource (vibranium) Dakana has daka crystals, with unique energy-manipulating properties that make possible most of the "mad science" technology of their world-- force-fields, anti-gravity, teleporters, interdimensional gateways, etc. In this sense, they are also similar to Star Trek's dilithium crystals or Naqahdah in Stargate SG-1.

The White Lion is the hereditary defender of Dakana. He is a genius trained in many fields of science and technology, a skilled fighter, and has undergone a ritual which also grants him the strength, speed and senses of his totem animal.
