Tenacious Tiger Bio
Name: Tenacious Tiger
Species: Bengal tiger
Nationality: American
Alternate names: Tom Sharp, Tough Tom
Age immortalized: 30
Former circus occupation: Strong tiger able to lift ridiculously huge amounts of weight
Second occuptation: Competitive bodybuilder, weightlifter, and powerlifter; has competed in and won a few furry versions of the World's Strongest Man Events; his top events were the Hercules Hold and the Truck/Airplane Pull, although he also did well at the Atlas Stones event.
Due to a double role in the circus as a standby percussionist, he later enrolled on the musical payroll system, although he is not a Drumbum.
Circus clothing: Green outfit with the same design as the traditional leopard outfit; Tom claimed it would be hypocritical to wear another furry's fur coat on top of his own.
Other clothing: Typical gym clothes or swimming trunks
Battle Uniform: Light green and yellow form-fitting outfit with green boots, belt, gloves, and cape; he does not wear a mask. In the center of his chest is a large "T" in green.
Background info: Tom has been bodybuilding all his life; the nickname "Tough Tom" came from the bullies who feared him (and indeed he put a stop to bullying at the school he attended). He first started weighlifting as a teenager (at least when he knew he was done growing), and he put big efforts into getting others to genuinely build their muscles, instead of using steroids to do so (and shortening your life 20 years in the process). After he won his first championship, Rolf hired him to exploit his strength. Although nowhere close to Crush or even Leonidas the Hellenic Lion (both of whom can bench press at least 50,000 pounds or more), he is the world's strongest tiger, showing he can bench-press 10,000 pounds (also lifting barbells weighing that amount). He is one of two strong acts (the other one being Super Sam), and he has been known to parade around showing off his strength (though that was short lived). It was revived for one appearance only, however, when he, Super Sam, and Rolf the Wolf (alongside the marching band) did their own promotional video to support the M.A.D. (March Against Drugs) campaign, and subsequently another one to support the "Combat the fat!" campaign in response to the disgusting actions of the Feeder Foxes.
When the circus went out of business, and the CNG effects got to all the performers, they became superheroes and were placed on the USA Waiting List that Super C had going. Upon clearing the list, Tom chose the name "Tenacious Tiger" for his superhero name.
As percussionists in the circus when needed, Super Sam and Tough Tom played a bass drum each, while the Cackling Coyotes each played a snare drum. All said animals each have a drum major uniform for this very purpose, and all animals still perform with the band and drum and bugle corps units to help keep the legacy of the circus alive, even though the circus itself is now out of business.
Superpowers: Super strength
Arch-nemesis: none
Personal quote: "Yes, I did parade around showing how strong I was, but in the end it was a lesson in humility, so I don't do that anymore. Plus, I don't want to scare the little kids." (recurring interview line)
"It's horrible enough these Feeder Foxes want to fatten everybody up, but when they got the greatest tiger of them all in my honest opinion, and you know that's you, Cripto, that was the last straw." (during interview)
"No, I am nowhere close to what Bonecrusher or even that Greek counterpart of Leo the Patriotic Lion can lift, even though I am the strongest tiger in the world. Whatever they are doing, it seems to be working for them." (during interview)
"It was sad, but I wasn't surprised to see the circus end and us being out of work. Circuses sometimes leave the wrong impressions on people considering their history of using wild animals for entertainment. The animals in the film 'Dumbo' may have enjoyed doing it, but not in real life. However, CNG made us all superheroes, and so we'll still be around."

Since the Circus of the Superstars went out of business, and yet CNG has given all the circus performers superpowers, the performers are in the process of becoming G-52s, and so I am updating some of the bio information on these performers.
Tough Tom, one of the two featured strongman performers (alongside Super Sam), now serves as the superhero Tenacious Tiger.

Chuong: Strongmen? Meanwhile in Iceland, it is often said that's just the average Icelandic man.
Baltasar/Baldwin: I guess but we have Leonhard the Mighty Lion.
Zax: Iceland; a country that is full of luscious green grass and trees complete with some volcanoes despite being cold all-year round. I can see how Tenacious Tiger could blend in with society there.

Tenacious Tiger: I think we met Leonhard the last time the circus went to Iceland.
Super C: I'm sorry to hear you went out of business.
Tenacious Tiger: As was I, but it had to end at some point. I'm impressed we lasted as long as we did.
