[color=White][b]Powers, Abilities, and Gear:[/b][/color]

Through imbibing a synthetic drug that mimics a Wakandan herb, Kasper has peak human strength, speed, and agility. In addition, he is a trained law enforcement officer who has experience with armed and unarmed combat. His White Tiger outfit is a repurposed Black Panther suit. Vibranium is weaved through it, rendering it nigh indestructible and allowing his claws to cut through every known metal. In addition, he wields a pair of 9MM pistols loaded with non-lethal gel bullets.

[color=White][b]Origin:[/b][/color]

Officer Kevin "Kasper" Cole is an NYPD narcotics detective, the son of "Black Jack" Cole, former corrupt cop now in prison. During an investigation into a Manhattan gang, the ambitious Kasper took things too far. Stealing a Black Panther suit from one of the king's NYPD allies, Kasper raided the gang's cook site and ended up crossing paths with T'Challa, the Black Panther, and his adopted brother, Hunter the White Wolf. Caught in the middle of a power struggle he didn't understand, Kasper helped Black Panther defeat White Wolf and the street gang he was backing. 

During the fight, Kasper was thrown into the chemistry lab by White Wolf and doused in chemicals. Afterwards, both Kasper and T'Challa realized the chemicals were a synthetic substitute for Wakanda's famous heart-shaped herb, the one members of the royal family consume in order to have the abilities of the Black Panther.

Now, Detective Kasper Cole works downtown as a member of the NYPD's Organized Crime Squad, a five-man unit that makes major cases on all the city's underworld organizations. In addition to his work as a cop, he continues to moonlight as a vigilante. While Wakanda has the Black Panther, New York has the White Tiger.


[h3][center][u][color=White]STORY INFO:[/color][/u][/center][/h3]
[color=White][b]High Concept:[/b][/color] 

I want to do cops and criminals and capes. Three things I love, and three things that taste great together. Potential story idea:

[b]Big Trouble in Little Mogadishu[/b]

The OCS turns their attention to a Brooklyn neighborhood nicknamed Little Mogadishu. The nickname is appropriate as it is a viper's nest of criminal organizations, drug dealers who style themselves as warlords, and feudal territories. As the team monitor the situation, Kasper grows impatient. As White Tiger, he enters the fray as a catalyst to an already tense situation. War breaks out on all sides and Kasper has to navigate the shifting landscape of grudges and alliances in order to stay alive.

[color=White][b]Motivation and Conflict:[/b][/color] 

Kasper is motivated by his ambition. As the son of a disgraced cop, he wants to surpass his father and be known as more than Black Jack's son. White Tiger is essentially a means to achieve that. His activities are supplemental to his work as a cop. He's not out there taking cats out of trees or running into burning buildings. He's circumventing the law as White Tiger in order to arrest criminals as Kasper Cole. As far as conflicts, he is about as impulsive as you'd expect from a man who beats up criminals in a costume. He often gets knee deep in the shit by his rash actions.
