That's like making an Avengers wave where 4 of the 6 figures are Wolverine, Storm, Beast and Rogue. I mean, yeah, they were all Avengers, but at this point you might as well call it an X-Men wave.

Yes, but the argument is also that the rest of the BP cast aren't being included because of their race or whatever excuse, but that's not really the case. I think it makes their absence more noticeable to some people, but not unique among how sometimes randomly thrown together ML waves usually are.

The Illuminati is at least a theme that's played a big part in Marvel for the past decade or so, and that's at least some connection to Black Panther's story, plus have probably been in demand from fans for some time. Besides, I think Namor for instance relates just as well if not better to BP than the past few Captain America waves which are filled with guys Cap may have punched in the face once or twice. Or the Allfather and Hulkbuster waves in which half or more of the characters had nothing to do with the Avengers.
