Rafael Hardy is the Jaguar, a metahuman who was experimented on by Nazi scientists in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest.

Rafael is a native Brazilian protector of his people.[1] He was abducted by Baron Gestapo, a Nazi war criminal hiding in the Brazilian rainforest where he was conducting illegal experiments on unwilling human subjects to create a Nazi superarmy. The experiments activated Rafael's metagene, and he developed a hybrid human-jaguar physiology.[2] Rescued by the Shield, he helped him destroy Baron Gestapo's laboratory.[3]

Rafael later joined the Shadow Crusaders, a secret covert team of the Mighty Crusaders, helping them defeat a Durlan alien invasion on Earth.[1][4]
