The stalwart companion of the Marvel family is the individual known as Tawny. In the few years since he emerged, his appearance and demeanor hs changed. This is because, the being is, in fact, two merged beings, one physical and one spiritual.
The physical part of the pairing is an enhanced tiger from Northern India. Captured by the Brain and Monsieur Mallah, he was genetically altered and injected with an ultra-steroid made from a combination of the Blockbuster serum and the drug Venom. Freed by the original Captain Marvel, he was named "Mr. Tawny" and housed him in the Rock of Eternity.
Sometime later, Mr. Tawny came to the attention of an immortal spirit that also inhabited the Rock. This spirit had many names over his lifetime and was known to possess various willing individuals and animals in order to experience the living world.
The spirit communed with Mr. Tawny and eventually, they became good friends. With the tiger's permission, the spirit merged his essence with the animal, become a completely new being in the process. The magic of the Rock of Eternity further altered the Tiger, granting him an anthropomorphic form.
The New Mr. Tawny has become a world-traveler and adventurer. Armed with years of knowledge and a web of connections, he scours the secret places for mysteries and undiscovered phenomenon.
He has continued a relationship with the Wizard Marvel, as well as Mary Bromfield the new Captain Marvel.
