White Tiger in Daredevil: Born Again: A Future Young Avenger?
The Daredevil: Born Again series may have just introduced a new Young Avenger in the MCU. Episode 4 debuted Angela Del Toro (White Tiger), played by Camila Rodriguez, hinting at her potential rise as a street-level hero and future member of the Young Avengers.
Who Is White Tiger?
Angela Del Toro is the niece of Hector Ayala, the original White Tiger, who was tragically killed before her debut in the series. Her emotional scene at the morgue with Matt Murdock suggests she will have a major role moving forward.
In Marvel Comics, Angela inherits the White Tiger amulet, granting her enhanced strength, agility, and reflexes. If the MCU follows a similar path, she could be poised to take up the White Tiger mantle, possibly joining the Young Avengers—even though she wasn’t originally part of the comic book team.
Could White Tiger Join the Young Avengers? The MCU is actively building its Young Avengers lineup, with several heroes already introduced:
- Wiccan & Speed (WandaVision, Agatha All Along)
- America Chavez (Doctor Strange 2)
- Kate Bishop (Hawkeye, The Marvels)
- Kid Loki (Loki)
- Ms. Marvel (Ms. Marvel, The Marvels)
- Skaar (She-Hulk)
- Ironheart (Black Panther 2, upcoming Ironheart series)
- Cassie Lang (Stature) (Ant-Man 3)
- Eli Bradley (Patriot) (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier)
White Tiger’s street-level experience, martial arts skills, and connection to Daredevil could make her a unique addition to the Young Avengers, bridging the gap between the supernatural, street-level, and multiversal heroes.
Why White Tiger’s Inclusion Makes Sense
Expanding the Young Avengers’ Diversity: The MCU is actively including new and diverse heroes, and White Tiger’s Latina heritage would bring more representation to the team.
Street-Level Connection: Many Young Avengers have cosmic or supernatural abilities—Angela could represent the ground-level fighters, much like Kate Bishop.
MCU’s Adaptation of Comic Teams: The MCU often changes rosters, meaning White Tiger could replace or supplement other Young Avengers from the comics.
What’s Next for Angela Del Toro? She may inherit the White Tiger mantle by the end of Born Again.
She could appear in a future Young Avengers project or team up with other street-level heroes.
If Vanessa Fisk follows her comic arc, Angela may be targeted by Wilson Fisk, leading her to seek help from Daredevil and other young heroes.
While nothing is confirmed, Daredevil: Born Again may have just set up a major future MCU hero, making Angela Del Toro one to watch.
