The Tiger: An X-Men's Tale
his is a story about a woman who came to be known as Kotiya; The Tiger.
Once, she was just another girl. Now, she is something else-something neither fully human nor fully beast.
During a mission trip to Korea, Ranielle's life changed forever. Lost in the wilderness and attacked by wolves, the trauma awakened her mutant ability-a grotesque and painful transformation into a monstrous tiger. Trapped in this form for months, she became infamous, a creature of fear and legend. After a violent encounter with poachers and a near-capture, she finally reclaimed her human shape-only to realize she could never truly go back.
Fleeing to New York, she struggles to suppress the primal urges that haunt her. But in an era of heightened mutant surveillance and fear, control is slipping through her fingers. A violent altercation with anti-mutant protesters exposes her existence, putting her on the radar of the X-Men. Ranielle is desperate and terrified of what she might become. With every transformation, more of her humanity is lost. Time is running out. If she can't gain control, she may never return to the person she once was.
A battle rages within her-human versus beast. But in a world that already sees mutants as threats, the bigger question looms: What happens when she can no longer tell the difference?
