HistoryEdit

Tyger Tiger (by Marcus McLaurin).jpg
Copycat989Added by Copycat989

Jessán Hoan worked at her family's bank, Hoan International Bank, when the Reavers robbed the bank. The Reavers kidnapped Jessán and killed several members of her family at the bank. While Jessán was a prisoner at the Reavers' Australian base, Pretty Boy tried to alter Jessán's mind, so that she would join their criminal band as a financial expert. The X-Men interrupted the process, freed Jessán, and defeated the Reavers. After a lengthy debate, the X-Men released Jessán and the supernatural being, Roma, teleported Jessán back to her family's bank.

Jessán was ostracized by her family because she mysteriously survived the attack that killed several other members of the Hoan family. In addition, Jessán found that she had lost some of her inhibitions, as a result of the partial brainwashing by Pretty Boy. Jessán discovered that the Reavers had been hired to attack Hoan International bank by Roche, the crimelord of Madripoor. Hoan moved to the island of Madripoor, where she became embroiled with the criminal element and adopted the alias Tyger Tiger. After finding Dave Chapel in the desert tortured and dying from exposure, Wolverine returned to Madripoor, while searching for "the Tiger". While at the Princess Bar, Wolverine realized that he was being watched and confronted the woman, who turned-out to be Jessán. After a brief battle with Jessán, Wolverine was beaten by Sapphire Styx and Razor-Fist and delivered to Roche. After surviving torture from Inquisitor, Wolverine escaped and was rescued, from a harbor, and looked after by Jessán.

After healing, Wolverine began wearing an eye patch, to keep the resurrection of the X-Men a secret, and learned that Jessán was in-fact Tyger Tiger and vowed to aid her in over-throwing Roche and taking his place as the Madripoor crime lord. After defeating Razor-Fist, Tyger Tiger and Wolverine rescued O'Donnell, killed Roche (decapitating him), and Wolverine declared that he would become Tyger's conscience to remind her that if she became like Roche, he would come for her. After declaring that he was to be called Patch while in Madripoor, Tyger responded that he had won her heart and the two kissed.

As Tyger Tiger, Jessan became the new crimelord of Madripoor, but she refused to deal in either drugs or slavery. For a time, she briefly wore a highly resistant suit of armor that later came into the possession of the X-Man Psylocke. The first major challenge to her empire was General Nguyen Ngoc Coy. After informing Tyger that he would not assassinate or kidnap for her, Tyger and Patch were beaten, by Roughhouse and Bloodscream.


Later, when Tony Stark managed to overthrow Madame Hydra's government of the region, control was given to Tyger Tiger, who turned into a Robin Hood-esque figure.
