Tazmanian Tiger

History
Apparently, the Tazmanian Tiger hired Sevarius to clone two actual tasmanian tigers for his use. He named the pair Benjamin and Natasha. ("Estranged")
In late 1996, the Tazmanian Tiger and his pets attempted to rob a bank in Sydney. They were quickly, and easily, foiled by Dingo and Matrix. ("Strangers")
Characteristics
The Tazmanian Tiger is a muscular human male. He wears a gaudy, skin-tight costume and mask, with razor sharp claws on his fingers, and is assisted in battle by Benjamin and Natasha. During the events of "Strangers", Tazmanian Tiger is 24 years old.[1]
