The huge large cat even attacking Black Panther at Killmonger’s orders and demonstrating grief when his owner died.

At some point, a rehabilitated Killmonger ventured to New York with Preyy with both planning to join the Avengers. The Avenger Triathlon in particular, warming to Preyy. A new Black Panther adversary Achebe, seeking to kill Erik, failed to do so, but did succeed in killing Preyy. Â Â Â Â Â
