Synopsis for "Save the Tiger" (Part VI of X) - Things Get Bad

Hoan explains to Wolverine how she became the Tyger when the Reavers partially brainwashed her and she returned home to find her bank business ruined. She found out Roche was behind the Reavers' attack and her subsequent blacklisting, so she went to Madripoor to dethrone Roche as the local crimelord. Wolverine points out that he fights crimelords, but she responds that he's honor bound to her for saving his life. They board a boat associated with the Tyger to find its crew slaughtered with signs pointing to Razorfist. The sound of one bound survivor draws Hoan into the cabin only to find it trapped with explosives. The boat goes up in flames with Wolverine and Hoan on it.
