What are White Tiger's powers and abilities? New Daredevil: Born Again character's comic book history explained 

On January 15, Daredevil: Born Again released its first trailer, confirming the return of Hector Ayala as the White Tiger with the tiger pendant.

The trailer sets the tone, showcasing Matt and Wilson Fisk discussing the current state of affairs. The trailer gives us a glimpse of two shots, one in the subway where Ayala is unmasked and seen pushing someone against the speeding train and another with the complete attire of the White Tiger and the pendant shining bright.

The history of the White Tiger and his inheritance of superhuman power has its connection to the mystical kingdom of K'un-Lun.

The origin of White Tiger's powers and abilities in Daredevil: Born Again

White Tiger's powers are linked with the mystical amulets of the K'un Lun kingdom seen in Shang-Chi. There was a White Tiger statue dedicated to the Tiger God. However, it was split into pieces and smuggled out of the mystic city. As a result, each of its pieces is known as an amulet that infuses power and superhuman abilities into anyone who wears it.

The amulets were later found by the sons of the Tiger, and this is how Hector inherited it. Hector was the first vigilante in the city of New York but later got framed for murder. Right when Matt prepared himself to save him, he was shot while trying to escape the prison.

Daredevil: Born Again: What are the White Tiger's powers and abilities?

The amulet gives the wearer superhuman skills, strength, agility, speed, heightened senses, and durability. It also can heal severe wounds, camouflage, and develop sharp claws for combat. Some White Tiger suits are made of vibranium, like that of Black Panther, which has the capacity to absorb the force and the kinetic energy and later use the accumulated force against the attacker to fight back.

Hector collected three amulets that became the root of his extraordinary powers. It also infuses the wearer with the power to master martial arts with no actual knowledge of it. In Daredevil: Born Again, Hector's return suggests that he might be coming with full force to pose a threat to his rivals.

Further, the White Tiger mantle is passed down to other family members like Angela Del Toro, Hector's niece, and his wife Ava Ayala, enriching the character's legacy.
