* The fictional character: This is a superhero from Marvel comics. He doesn't have a real-life habitat.
* A melanistic panther: This refers to a black-furred panther, which is usually a leopard (Panthera pardus) or a jaguar (Panthera onca) with a genetic mutation that causes a lack of pigmentation.
Since we're talking about real animals, the natural habitat depends on the specific type of panther:
* Leopards: Found in a wide range of habitats across Africa and Asia, from forests and grasslands to mountains and deserts.
* Jaguars: Primarily found in Central and South America, inhabiting rainforests, wetlands, and grasslands.
Both leopards and jaguars are solitary animals and excellent climbers. They are apex predators in their respective environments.
