Tyger Tiger

Origin

Jessan worked at her family's bank, Hoan International, 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 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.

As Tiger Tyger, Jessan defeated Roche and became the new crimelord of Madripoor, but she refused to deal in either drugs or slavery. Wolverine allowed Tiger Tyger to operate, but decided to act as an ethical check on her enterprises.
