The White Tiger Amulet(Also known as the Jade Tiger Amulet) is a powerful and mystical green amulet in the shape of a tiger's head that gives the user supernatural powers. However, if the user does not have the mental capacity or willpower to control the amulet, then the amulet will control the wearer, taking over their body permanently.
It has been passed down from generation to generation for at least three generations, however, the exact amount of years is unknown. Before Ava Ayala, her father, Hector Ayala, and his father before him (Nestor Ayala) had full possession of the amulet.This indicates that the Amulet is an Ayala family heirloom.
In the episode "Kraven the Hunter," a man named Sergei Kravinoff stole the amulet from Ava Ayala, but was unable to control it and was transformed into a tiger-looking, man. However, Spider-Man and Ava were able to re-take the amulet.

Powers[]
Ava's powers come from the "White Tiger Amulet", even we don't fully understand how it works, but it's powerful and she's only scratched the surface.
In its dormant state, it grants the user:
- Increased Strength, Speed and Agility:
- Enhanced Reflexes:
- Heightened Senses:
- Ability to command Tigers and possibly other felines:
In its awakened state, the user's iris turn light green, their canines elongated, their hair becomes wild looking and claws appear on their fingernails. It most likely grants the user enhanced abilities even stronger but makes the user more feral. The amulet also grows in this state.In the comics,the Amulet also can grant Camouflage as one of the powers.
In its final form, the user has completely lost control of the amulet's power and literally turns into a humanoid white tiger. In this state, the abilities the Amulet grants are at their maximum, but the user is also 100% feral. The amulet changes into that of a grown tiger's head. Also speech patterns common to humans are replaced with growls.
