Ben in his Metahuman Form
Biography[]
Before his Metahuman transformation, Benjamin Turner was already a high ranking assassin in the League. Training Cheshire and Jason Todd to be one of the League, it was Benjamin's highly hypocritical choices that led to Jason questioning the League's integrity. Benjamin also came into conflict with Kathy Kane, thinking he killed her. During many of his League missions, Benjamin worked with Deathstroke the Terminator. He became good friends with the Terminator, close enough that they would be known as drinking buddies. Over the years, despite his League membership, Benjamin, referred to as Tiggs by Slade, became the Terminator's handler as well.
Eventually Benjamin transformed into a humanoid tiger using a medallion, with him ascending even further through the ranks of the League, becoming the Bronze Tiger. As the medallion ate away at his soul, Tiger only transformed when he needed to Along with Cheshire and hundreds of other assassins, Bronze Tiger refused to join Leviathan and instead stayed at the League of Assassin's hidden city. After Ra's al Ghul regained power, Tiger's activities as an assassin returned to normal, albeit a bit more ruthless than prior. Upon learning from Cheshire of the Outlaws, Tiger angrily declared that the League's time had come again. Leading an all out assault against Jason, Bronze Tiger captured his former protoge and brought him to the League's hidden city, where he informed him of his duty to kill the Untitled. However, the plot with the Untitled was simply a ploy by al Ghul to strengthen his own power.
In the end, al Ghul was back in power and Turner was continuing to work with Shiva. Eventually, after Ra's went missing once more, Shiva and Turner swore fealty to Odysseus and began to work to protect him to from Deathstroke. Attempting to assassinate his former friend, Turner was defeated by a younger man who fought like the Terminator, drugged, brainwashed and returned to Shiva. Turner then accompanied Odysseus to Gotham City where he stabbed the younger man, actually a deaged Slade Wilson, before having his mind shut down by Victor Ruiz.
