Does The Black Panther Trailer Reveal Klaw’s New Powers?

While he isn’t the primary threat to Wakanda in the Black Panther trailer, Ulysses Klaw isn’t to be taken lightly, and he might have picked up a new power in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Klaw is being interrogated in the trailer by Everett Ross, with T’Challa looking on from behind some one-way glass. At one point though he turns towards T’Challa and starts laughing, indicating he can see him. As New Rockstars theorizes, this could be a new power, possibly an after effect of the sonic weapon he attaches to his left arm.

The theory goes that he is able to “see” through walls by the sound, akin to Daredevil’s heightened senses. Since his weapon was made out of Vibranium, that could produce unexpected effects. In the comics, Klaw eventually becomes a being of pure sound, and this could also be a nod to that character progression as well.

Odds are there is a specific reason for him being able to see them, as he looks directly at Black Panther through the glass. He could’ve assumed someone was on the other side, but looking at them directly speaks to more accurate sight.

Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther” follows T’Challa who, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. But when a powerful old enemy reappears, T’Challa’s mettle as king—and Black Panther—is tested when he is drawn into a formidable conflict that puts the fate of Wakanda and the entire world at risk. Faced with treachery and danger, the young king must rally his allies and release the full power of Black Panther to defeat his foes and secure the safety of his people and their way of life
