From his lair in an ancient city in ruins, hidden deep in the jungle of the Indian subcontinent, the Jungle Raider protects nature and its creatures, the good people who inhabit it and the unsuspecting "civilized people" who wander into the depths of the jungle without knowing its dangers.
Guy Schwimmer, The Jungle Raider, is the latest in a long line of masked men. The first Jungle Raider obtained his uniform and the Enchanted Dagger from a tribal chief more than 400 years ago. Since then, a Jungle Raider has acted as a protector of those who cannot defend themselves. Guy's father made him swear that he would use his abilities to "destroy all evil and make good prevail", just as each of the Jungle Raiders has done to his successor from the beginning. Jungle Raider traveled to the planet Gormon along with Flint Baker, Gale Allen, John Miracle, and the African prince Akeem Elmalik. Together they faced Prince Blaga Daru, a tyrant who sought to conquer Earth and make Gale his concubine. The group of earthlings led an insurrection that ended Daru's evil reign. Unfortunately, Guy heroically lost his life during the conflict, becoming a legend on two worlds, Earth and Gormon. Miracle and Akeem returned to Earth with Tigress (Guy's female tiger companion), who was left in John's charge.
Akeem, with the help of the Enchanted Dagger, went in search of Guy's successor, the next Jungle Rider.
POWERS & WEAPONS
The Jungle Raider possesses the Enchanted Dagger, which grants him certain special powers, such as clairvoyance or increased strength and agility. Whoever comes in contact with the Dagger's blade is magically forced to tell the truth. Guy had a female tiger for a companion whom he called by the very creative name "Tigress". Tigress obeyed all of Guy's orders, even those that he did not verbalize... Upon his death, Tigress was left in charge of the mentalist John Miracle.
