White Tiger, the other one, was killed off in Bendis's Daredevil when Matt was defending him in court after a bad situation made it look like he was robbing an electronics store. His cousin (also from Bendis's Daredevil, I think) is the new White Tiger.
Man, Daredevil has been kinda shitty to Latino characters the last decade or so. I liked Brubaker's run and all, but I hate what he did to Black Tarantula. He went from being this sort of cross between The Phantom/Black Panther (Mantle passed from Father to Son, drinks special potion, etc) and Bane (Grim, intelligent, south American drug Lord), sort of this unstoppable force who speaks very precisely and intelligently and then Brubaker has him act like kind of a chicano gangbanger stereotype, and I was always very confused how he got like that. As far as I can tell, it's "Because."

One of Hickman's cosmic characters that's almost interesting and showed up in the first Avengers arc he did. His name is Ex Nhilo and he's a cosmic God of creation, and he used to travel around with his sister, some sort of Cosmic god of Entropy, and a really cool genocidal robot, going from world to world to kill off the population and replace it with new hyper-evolved beings. The Avengers fought the three of them to stop them from doing it to Earth, but they stood down when the Uni-force basically told them it was their God Mother (I guess) and told them to stop. Ex Nhilo was down, his sister was wary, and the robot absolutely refused to believe and was disintegrated for his trouble.
Really, the only saving grace for that arc was the art. Johnathan Hickman loves to throw interesting things out there (Like I think bringing in Hyperion was pretty cool), but I feel like he never follows through well enough to justify putting the concepts in there in the first place and don't hold well on their own.
