So this is my pitch for what I think an absolute version of Black Panther would look like.
So in this world, vibranium still exists as a powerful metal in this universe, but the nation of Wakanda, unlike in the main universe which was able to stay independent for its entire history, was invaded in this alternate timeline during the Scramble for Africa.
Some Wakandan citizens willingly collaborated with European powers to invade and split the country amongst themselves, gaining vibranium. But at the time, Wakanda hadn't invented their advanced technology, which led to them being unable to repel the invasion.
Later, after European decolonization following World War II, Wakanda would be left in a similarly politically unstable state like other African nations at the time, but this time under the rule of the Killmonger family, who willingly sold vibranium to the highest bidder and ruled as tyrants.
Now, T'Challa wouldn't be part of the royal family in this timeline, but instead, he was forcibly deported from Wakanda due to the fact that both of his parents were part of the resistance movement to overthrow Killmonger.
This led to T'Challa growing up in the United States, but once he was an adult, he and his sister Shuri would return to Wakanda, and T'Challa would be selected for a super-soldier experiment by the resistance to be given the heart-shaped herb, which gave the ancient Black Panthers their power from the panther god Bast. The experiment would work, giving T'Challa enhanced stamina and strength as well as the normal Black Panther abilities.
Thanks to the resistance stealing vibranium, they were able to make new Black Panther armor for T'Challa, and the resistance scientists, seeing the potential within vibranium, would begin to make weapons and new technologies to overthrow the Killmonger reign over Wakanda.
