the black panther's name predates the october 1966 founding of the black panther party, though not the black panther logo of the party's predecessor, the lowndes county freedom organization (lcfo), nor the segregated world war ii black panthers tank battalion. stan lee, co-creator of the comic, denied that the comic, which pre-dates the political usage of the term, was, or could have been, named after any of the political uses of the term "black panther", including the lcfo, citing "a strange coincidence". he is the first black superhero in american mainstream comic books; very few black heroes were created before him, and none with actual superpowers. these included the characters in the single-issue, low-distribution "all-negro comics" #1 (1947); waku, prince of the bantu, who starred in his own feature in the omnibus title "jungle tales", from marvel's 1950s predecessor, atlas comics; and the dell comics western character lobo, the first black person to star in his own comic book. previous non-caricatured black supporting characters in comics include u.s. army infantry private gabriel jones of "sgt. fury and his howling commandos".
