Tigerman

Summary
Tigerman is a well-known hero and was a very popular vigilante. He holds a very high rank within MERIT and is instantly recognizable with his gadgets, costume, and catchphrases. Despite having no meta-human abilities, Tigerman has proven himself as a very capable fighter and hero. His track record includes several A and S-rank meta-humans apprehended, through his use of intelligence, gadgets, and martial skill. Despite his lack of meta-human abilities, Tigerman holds some of the highest ranks and most impressive records within MERIT.

In addition to his hero work, Tigerman has contributed engineering feats to MERIT and other heroes looking to use gadgets. His engineering and technological skills are invaluable to the organization. It is assumed that Tigerman's ability to support his gadgets and vehicles comes from the revenue gained from various product lines, advertisement, and patents.

Tigerman often works alone, being highly cautious of heroes who he can not personally account for. Combining this with his skillset and intelligence, Tigerman is one of MERIT's best, if not best field operatives. When Tigerman does choose to work with a team, he is highly confident in their abilities and is a selfless member of the team. Along with Silverback, Cerebella, and Kriegsmarine, he was a part of MERIT's rise to popularity among civilians.
