Notes[]

  • Many sites claim he was formerly known as the White Panther however, their origins and powers are different.
    • Many sites also claim that Congo Raider is a re-colored version of Red Panther however, although the basic plot element of both characters' debuts are very similar... There is nothing to indicate that one is a re-print of the other (the art is different, there are no identical panels, etc.).
