White Tiger (Hector Ayala)

White Tiger is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Bill Mantlo and artist George Pérez, the character first appeared in The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #19. A Puerto Rican college student, White Tiger was the first Latin American main character in American comics and Marvel's first Hispanic superhero. White Tiger is the superhero persona of Hector Ayala, a native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, attending Empire State University in New York City. After discovering three mystical tiger amulets discarded by the martial arts team the Sons of the Tiger, Ayala found that wearing all three transformed him into a superhuman fighter with enhanced strength, speed, agility, and near-superhuman mastery of martial arts.

White tiger

The white tiger is a leucistic morph of the tiger, typically the Bengal tiger. A white tiger has the typical black stripes of a tiger, but its coat is otherwise white or near-white, and it has blue eyes. Natural occurrences of this mutation are occasionally reported in the wild in India. The vast majority of white tigers are a result of intentional inbreeding for human entertainment, a practice which is banned by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums for institutions wishing to be accredited.

Tiger

The tiger is a large cat and a member of the genus Panthera native to Asia. It has a powerful, muscular body with a large head and paws, a long tail and orange fur that fades to white in parts, with black, mostly vertical stripes. It is traditionally classified into nine subspecies, though some recognise only two subspecies, the mainland Asian tiger and the Sunda Islands tiger.
