    Tiger last edited by KillerZ on 10/12/23 07:38AM View full history

    Jeff Coleman was a normal policeman until the day he found an elderly superhero who had been shot. Knowing that he was dying, the old man transferred his "Spirit Of The Tiger" powers to Jeff. Jeff then became the superhero Tiger, but was commonly known as Black Tiger, much to his annoyance, since he didn't want his identity to be a race-thing.

    One night, his wife caught him changing into his Tiger costume, and his secret was exposed to her. Upset, she threatened to leave Jeff if he continued being Tiger, since she thought is was unfair to their children if he took such a unnecessary risk. Despite Jeff's two daughter joy over having a superhero as dad, Jeff promised his wife to burn the costume, and make sure that his daughters wouldn't end up fatherless.

    Jeff stopped using his powers and returned to being a normal police officer. But one day, after coming home from work, he learned that there was a shooting at his daughters' school. His girls were okay, but he realized that all the children would have been saved, if he was still Tiger. His wife left him with their children, and Jeff focused on being as good a superhero as possible for his children's sake.

    Some years later, Jeff became very passionate(possibly obsessed) about his superhero-identity, and made sure to lift weight several hours a day and drink 200 grams of protein in milkshakes in order to stay in shape. He was the partner of the hero known as Thunderfist for a long time, until Thunderfist decided to work for the government as Agent 7.

    Tiger eventually formed a superhero trio with Mecha Maid and Spinnerette, for whom he was a sort of mentor for.
