History

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

Jessan was ostracized by her family because she mysteriously survived the attack that killed several other members of the Hoan family. In addition, Jessan found that she had lost some of her inhibitions as a result of the partial brainwashing by Pretty Boy.

Jessan discovered that the Reavers had been hired to attack Hoan International bank by Roche, the crimelord of Madripoor. She moved to the island of Madripoor, where she became embroiled with the criminal element and adopted the alias Tiger Tyger. Wolverine later joined Jessan's efforts against Roche. Jessan decapitated Roche after he shot Wolverine.

As Tyger Tiger, Jessan becomes the new crimelord of Madripoor, but she refuses 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.

Wolverine allows Tyger Tiger to operate, but decides to act as an ethical check on her enterprises. Later, when Tony Stark manages to overthrow Madame Hydra's government of the region, control is given to Tyger Tiger, now turned into a Robin Hood-esque figure.
