White Tiger: A Hero's Compulsion
"Who do you think I am?" -- Angela 'White Tiger' Del Toro"Black Cat, of course. Don't make me shoot you." -- Wade 'Deadpool' Wilson"Oh for -- ! Genius, I'm wearing white! . . . First people mistake me for Emma Frost. Now you think I'm Black Cat. The name is White Tiger. WHITE TIGER!" -- White Tiger "White Ti - GRRRR! . . . Check." -- DeadpoolAngela Del Toro was a resilient and street-savvy former NYPD officer and FBI agent from New York City. After a few deeply personal tragedies and setbacks - plus a good deal of trepidation and some mentoring from Matt Murdock's Daredevil - she assumes the crime-fighting super-heroine alter ego of White Tiger! Armed with three mystical jade amulets (which greatly enhance her physical abilities, and she's already a skilled combatant), she hits the mean streets as the Big Apple's newest vigilante.I found this to be an entertaining volume, with perfectly balanced drama / action / humor. (Slyly amusing were the brief scenes where a random threat or illegal activity would pop up nearby, and Tiger - with her strong sense of justice - simply takes care of said business LIKE A BOSS!) It should be noted, though, that superficial knowledge of Daredevil and the 'Heroes For Hire' duo - Luke 'Power Man' Cage and Danny 'Iron First' Rand, who are Tiger's friends and allies - storylines are somewhat required for easier comprehension. Also nice were the cameo appearances by Black Widow and Spider-Man, both offering their helping hands - in the two-fisted sense - when Tiger, adjusting to her new life as a "costume," takes on some organized and well-armed criminal gangs.
