Gavin Shaw loves anime, reads comics, fanboys over superhero culture, plays Minecraft, and is rarely seen without his equally nerdy besties Ryan and Dex. In the streets of Apollo Bay, blerds are considered soft and are guaranteed to get no respect. In a city where respect is the currency for survival, you triple your odds of being a target.
At the same time, Gavin has deep roots in the criminal underworld of Apollo Bay. On a DNA level. He’s had a disproportionate amount of exposure to the ravages of that lifestyle and watched the people he cared about be systematically eviscerated. Raised with a strong moral code by his kind-hearted father, Gavin has a certain sensitivity to the suffering of others struggling to survive in his community. A community that seems invisible to the rest of the world. Everything changes one night when Gavin finds the hero Lionsblood gravely injured in an alley and decides to step in to save his life. It was a decision that changed Gavin’ s life and the city of Apollo Bay forever. From the events of that night the teen emerges with superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, durability, healing, heightened senses, and other abilities that seem to be evolving! Now with the ability to fight for those who can’t defend themselves, Gavin sneaks out as ….MIDNIGHT TIGER! Apollo Bay’s first and only superhero and new beacon of hope!
