Origin/History
George is a local policeman and former military serviceman. He served during WWII. Upon returning home, he became a policeman. On a certain day, he came across a robbery at a local Chinese gift store. He entered, and, after a short confrontation, he subdued the thief. To show his appreciation, the Chinese man, Leung Mong, gave him a ring. It is not known if Leung knew the ring bestowed power.
Once home, George remembered the ring in his pocket and placed it on his finger. A wash of emotions and thoughts and feelings and pain overtook him. During this ordeal of bestowal, a voice speaking a form of Chinese began to tell him of the power of the ring, and somehow, George understood. When the event ended, George passed out for the night.
The next morning, George awoke feeling better than he had before the war. He went on duty. During his day, he had chased criminals through the city. During these chases, a few of his powers manifested themselves. Once off duty, he returned to the store where he received the ring, only it was not there. According to the owner of the shop that was there, there was never a Chinese store there as his store had been there for twenty years.
At home, George was overcome with confusion, and he stares at the ring on his finger. All of a sudden, an older Chinese man appears in a ghostly form before George. He explains what the ring does and tells George that he must meditate daily to unlock and master the ring's power. He also says that the power can be used for good or evil, the choice belongs to George.
George begins to meditate daily, slowly over time unlocking new abilities. He also bought a farm outside of town so he could practice his new powers. He discovers that he has the abilities of a ghost and is able to equal or better anyone in combat. So, after a few encounters on duty, using his powers secretly, George decides to don a costume and fight crime off-duty as a super hero. He chooses a tiger for the base of his alter ego, as its symbol is on the ring. Couple that with his ghost-like abilities, and he called himself Ghost Tiger.
