His life changed when discovering the pyramid of the god Kukulcan (Quetzalcoatl), He discovered one half of the Sacred Amulet of the deity. The amulet granted him psionic powers: telepathy, telekinesis and a danger sense alerting to threats of any kind. These at first proved handy in facing an assassination attempt by his own helpers.  
     
    He arrived in New York City in search of the other half of the Amulet. He used the time to further test his new powers. After a relatively easy victory over the X-Men, El Tigre united the two halves of the Amulet. Only to change to a new avatar of Kukulcan and loose his own identity in the process. He eventually lost his  Amulet and its powers.
