Mr. Tawny

Mr. Tawny is the name given by Captain Marvel to a genetically enhanced tiger once captured by the Brain.

History
On September 10, Mr. Tawny found himself targeted by Hamilton Hill, who was hunting for tigers. When he spotted Hill, Mr. Tawny was inadvertently knocked down by one of Monsieur Mallah's traps. During the subsequent thirteen days, the Brain performed unspecified experiments on Mr. Tawny, giving him some level of intelligence. He was also strapped on with an inhibitor collar to be controlled.

On September 24, Mr. Tawny was surveilling an attack on the Team, who had arrive to investigate a strange series of animal attacks. When Captain Marvel spotted him, Mr. Tawny made a run for it, luring him into a trap laid by Monsieur Mallah. Later on, as the Brain prepared to vivisect Captain Marvel, Mr. Tawny lunged at him, knocking him over. After the Team broke into the lab and freed Captain Marvel, he removed Mr. Tawny's inhibitor collar as repayment for his act of bravery.

During the next hours, Mr. Tawny helped herding every animal carrying an inhibitor collar to have them removed. Before running off to the jungle, Captain Marvel appointed him protector of the fauna.
