Hector Ayala was a Puerto Rican immigrant who immigrated to New York to study. One day, however, he found a mystical amulet in the shape of a tiger's head, which he put on his neck and then felt great strength for. This amulet endowed him with great strength and very fast reflexes, which could be compared to the reflexes of three men. On that day, he decided to become a hero who called himself White Tiger.
His first fight against crime bore fruit in the form of an encounter with Spider-Man, with whom they immediately became good friends and brothers in armor.
Before long, during one of the confrontations when White Tiger was nearly killed by Gideon Mac, Hector decided that life like this was not for him and willingly gave up his amulet.
He then enjoyed great civilian life and even married Holly Gillis, one of his oldest friends. After a while, however, he got to that amulet again and right at his "first" big action, he was arrested by police, who sent him to court as a thief and a criminal. Here he was defended by Matt Murdock, known as Daredevil, but his arguments were not enough and White Tiger was convicted. Unaccompanied by this injustice, he was shot by one of the guards while trying to escape.
Eventually, Matt managed to prove his innocence. White Tiger returned as a hero.
