White Tiger's costume and gender combine give her a vaguely cat-like trait, with horns on her mask symbolic of cat's ears and clawed fingers, but she's much more symbolic than Tigra.

''Avengers Academy'' is a spinoff of Marvel's highly popular ''[[Comicbook/TheAvengers Avengers]]'' franchise. ''Avengers Academy'' is exactly what it says on the tin, a school for young and up coming super humans. Started during the 'Heroic Age' it stood out from the other Avengers titles by featuring largely new characters (the students) and some less prominent existing characters (the staff). The first story arc features Hank Pym (Ant-Man, Giant Man and many more) starting up the school to teach the first class how to be heroes and how to live with their various physical and emotional scars. Starting in issue #21 a brand new story arc begins featuring most of the original students, joined by a number of existing Marvel teens, some joining the main cast, the others being in the background as part timers. The school was also moved to Los Angeles to the West Coast Avengers compound and several members of the staff changed.

* MoralPragmatist: This is how the veteran Avengers try to reform the teenage would-be supervillains. They try to show the kids that doing evil and supervillainy will only hurt themselves and their goals in the long run, while heroism or playing within the law can be lucrative. It sticks with some, but not so much for others.

Created by Christos Gage the series has been near universally praised for its ability to tell compelling one and two story arcs while building on the excellent characterizations issue after issue. ''Avengers Academy'' acts as a SpiritualSuccessor to the similarly themed, though quite different ''[[ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative Avengers: The Initiative]]'', also co-written by Gage. One of the students 'Reptil' coming from that series, Hank Pym and Tigra were also central figures in that book. Though that Pym was a Skrull. The presence of Hank, Jocasta and Quicksilver means it also continues some plot threads from ComicBook/DarkReign-era ''Mighty Avengers''.
