HISTORY: Michael grew up in a privileged world. The son of two famous scientists, Michael didn’t have to struggle to survive in the United Territories of America. Following in his parents footsteps, Michael became a biologist and a few years later, began to work for the government. Michael worked with animal DNA, mainly big cats, trying to understand why the various mutations occurred, such as white tigers and black panthers.
Unknown to Michael the government had other plans for his research. Michael was approached by another scientist and asked to help with the upcoming project. Michael agreed and as requested by the man, brought his work on animal DNA along. Upon arrival Michael was knocked out and kept in a drug-induced coma.
His work on animal DNA, combined with the governments knowledge of human DNA, was used an attempt to create a super solider. Michael just happened to be the unlucky subject. Fused with the DNA of a tiger, Michael was awakened to discover his new body. Now forced to undergo testing to find his limits, Michael made an unexpected friend.
One of the scientists working on the project, a woman named Marie, hated what was being done and secretly attempted to created an antidote that would return Michael to normal. Placing the written formula and ten premade vials into a backpack, Marie managed to free Michael and the two fled the compound.
The serum worked, sort of, returning Michael to his human form but it couldn't get rid of the beast within. Marie managed to get Michael on a plane to the British Empire before going into hiding. Now alone in a new country, Michael wandered the city for nine days, unable to trust anyone with his secret or get help for it. But to his horror, the next morning Michael realized he had no serum left.
As he feared, Michael felt the beast taking over. Upon transforming, Michael began to rampage, still clutching the backpack in his claws, only to be stopped by Lionman. Finding the formula within, Prince Harry (Lionman) had the serum remade and administered to Michael. Regaining his mind, Michael swore to help Prince Harry in anyway he could. And so Michael joined the Valiants.
