A missing general verb in an adverbial clause
The Black Panther's name predates the October 1966 founding of the Black Panther Party, though not the black panther logo of the party's predecessor, the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, nor the segregated World War II Black Panthers Tank Battalion. He is the first black superhero in mainstream comic books; virtually no black heroes were created before him, and none with actual superpowers.
I think in my example, the Black Panther's name deose not predate" is abbrivated to "not" after "though."
So, I'd like to know why the generalb verb "predate" can be omitted in the adverbial clause.
Thank you in advance for your help.

We commonly use a verb in one clause and not in another. It's not 'abbreviation'; it's rather an avoidance of unnecessary repetition.
