Morphology
Black + Panther
This is a proper-name referring to a specific Marvel superhero and a cultural/political reference; knowing the words 'black' and 'panther' yields the literal animal interpretation or might evoke the Black Panther Party, but does not allow a B1 learner to infer the character's identity, role, or the Wakanda/technology context. Because the meaning depends on cultural knowledge and named-entity recognition rather than compositional word meaning, it is not predictable from the constituents.
Etymology
Black Panther for the comic and film hero comes from joining a royal leader with the image of a black panther, a fast, silent animal. He is the king of the made-up land 'Wakanda' and wears a panther suit to protect his people, so the name now means the 'superhero' in those stories.
