Thanos, through the use of the Infinity Gauntlet, is responsible for Black Panther's (T'Challa's) disintegration in Avengers: Infinity War.
While several characters fight against Thanos in Wakanda, it's crucial to understand the specific circumstances surrounding T'Challa's death:
-
The Infinity Gauntlet's Power: Thanos sought to collect all six Infinity Stones to wield the power of the Infinity Gauntlet. Once completed, it granted him the ability to alter reality on a cosmic scale.
-
The Snap: With all six stones, Thanos enacted his plan to eliminate half of all life in the universe with a single snap of his fingers. This wasn't a targeted attack on Black Panther, but a universal event.
-
T'Challa's Fate: As a result of the snap, T'Challa was among the 50% of living beings who disintegrated. This wasn't due to a direct physical attack from Thanos, but rather the cosmic consequences of the Infinity Gauntlet's power. Other notable characters who suffered the same fate include Bucky Barnes, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and Groot.
In summary, while Thanos is ultimately responsible due to his actions, Black Panther's death wasn't a personal attack. It was a consequence of Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet to eliminate half of all life in the universe.
