| Origin | |
| After
an apparent ambush during an undercover drug bust, setup by police officer
Kevin Cole's commanding officer, he resolves to wage a one-man war against
the drug trafficking gangs. Heisting a damaged Black Panther costume from his partner and Black Panther ally police Sergeant Michael Tork, Cole assumes the mantle of the missing and presumably dead Black Panther. Passing the rights of ascension which test character and heroism and ingesting the fabled heart-shaped herb, which gives him enhanced abilities, Cole earned the right to be an acolyte of the White Tiger Clan. He continues his battle against crime as both a police officer and the White Tiger. |
