Lt. Robert Benton, a.k.a. Tiger Man, was an athletic private eye, attacked in Burma by a tiger in an ancient temple, but, close to death, survived because the magical blood of the tiger entered his veins, enhancing his abilities and immunity. He opened a detective agency, called his office the Tiger’s Den, and offered his services for free. Clients contacted him by dialing T-I-G-E-R-M-A-N. Tiger Man had many vehicles, such as a Tiger-Plane, Tiger-Car, and a boat. He was aided by Pali, his Pakistani valet. He possessed a ring that glowed with light in the presence of danger. When Tiger Man was very angry, an image of a large tiger appeared behind him.
