L.A.W. (Comic Book) / int_fba4c0aa	comment	Driven to Villainy: After World War 2 ended, Tiger was unable to return to America with Jagger due to the country's anti-Japanese xenophobia. Jagger chose to stay in Japan as Tiger had no parents. Over the years, Jagger and Tiger sought out the mythical city of Nanda Parbat. However, their seemingly fruitless search coupled with Tiger sensing that Jagger on some level regretted his choice to stay in Japan with Tiger led to the two of them falling out. As Tiger traveled the world on his own, he saw numerous other children who had been orphaned by war just like him and he gained a strong hatred for those who profited off war with no care for those caught in the crossfire. Studying the Hindu legends of the Parashurama, the slayer of the warrior caste, Tiger set out to recover the belongings of the god â€” the Ax of Shiva, the All-Seeing Eye of Andhaka, and the precious Soma (a Serum of Immortality) which bestows upon its user eternal life when taken regularly. Renaming himself the Avatar, Tiger began his plot to destroy the militaries and war profiteers of the world. Persis Bhattacarja is only helping the Avatar because he promised to cure her son's blood disease which science had proved ineffective against.
