White Tiger wears the suit during a robbery
When operating in New York City, White Tiger wore the suit to mask his identity. He used the suit while stopping a robbery.[1] One day, White Tiger saw Michael Burgos and his wife in their burning vehicle, as they had been hit by a car. White Tiger was able to save the couple before they were injured. Another time, White Tiger rescued Gianna Moreno when she was attacked in an alley. White Tiger also helped several NYPD officers while wearing his suit, including Lucas Barlow.[2]
The People v. Hector Ayala[]
Cherry finds the suit in the Ayala Residence
- "You hide your identity and go out and solve things the way you see fit. We're trying to position this as a one-off event. I find out you're going out at night looking for trouble."
- ―Matt Murdock to Hector Ayala[src]
On New Years' Eve 2026, Hector Ayala attempted to rescue Nicky Torres from corrupt police officers, resulting in Kel Shanahan being killed. Ayala was arrested on the charge of killing Shanahan and was represented by Murdock & McDuffie. When speaking to Ayala, Matt Murdock sensed there was something Ayala was not telling him, so he asked Cherry to investigate the Ayala Residence.
Matt Murdock holds up the suit in court
Sure enough, Cherry discovered Ayala's White Tiger Suit and realized he was White Tiger, reporting his findings to Murdock. While initially succeeding in getting Judge Jerry Cooper to waive the suit from evidence,[3] Torres committed perjury when he was called to the stand, forcing Murdock to use the White Tiger Suit during the trial as proof that Ayala was a good person. Ayala was later found not guilty on all charges.[2]
Assassination of Hector Ayala[]
White Tiger is killed while wearing the suit
- "You killed Hector Ayala. He was a good man."
"Do what you gotta do. I stood with my own." - ―Daredevil and Cole North[src]
Now a free man once more, Ayala donned his White Tiger Suit again in his bedroom and adjusted his Amulet of Power around his neck. He then went out into the city to see if anyone needed help. White Tiger heard a woman screaming a few streets over, so he tried to pinpoint the sound.[2] However, Cole North[4] emerged from the shadows behind White Tiger and shot him in the head through his suit, letting his lifeless body fall to the ground.[2]
