Chadwick Boseman received a tribute fit for a king at the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Greatest of All Time.

The late Black Panther star, who died in August following a battle with colon cancer, at MTV's Sunday ceremony posthumously received the Hero for the Ages award, an honor for someone "whose heroism onscreen was only surpassed by the true hero they were off-screen." Marvel's Robert Downey Jr. and Don Cheadle emotionally paid tribute to Boseman as they presented the award.
