New Comic Hero White Tiger Dies Tragically in Daredevil: Born Again!

Daredevil: Born Again, which is now airing on Disney+, tells a tale of Matt Murdock facing off against Kingpin and other villains in New York. But Daredevil won’t be the only vigilante in the series as the first batch of episodes delivered the heroic — and tragic — story of White Tiger.

“He’s a hero,” says Murdock, defending Hector Ayala for his corrupted cop killing case. Ayala is publicly ousted as the vigilante White Tiger in a last-resort attempt to convince a jury to find him rightfully innocent.

The character of The White Tiger made its debut in issue #9 of The Spectacular Speder-Man comic books.

Ayala’s White Tiger, not unlike Murdock’s Daredevil, fights against criminals on the streets of New York City. However, he is assisted by the mystical Amulet of Power, which bolsters his fighting abilities.

Unfortunately, White Tiger’s acquittal doesn’t make him a free man for long, as he meets a tragic fate in Episode 3 of Daredevil: Born Again. However, the series has already hinted that the White Tiger mantle will live on via a different, younger suitor.

Ayala is played by late Puerto Rican actor Kamar de los Reyes, who filmed his scenes shortly before his unfortunate passing in December 2023 at age 56.
