Abe Brown is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe.

Along with Bob Diamond and Lin Sun, Abe Brown was one of the most skilled students attending the martial arts school run by sensei Master Kee. Kee gave the three students each a jade talisman in the shape of a tiger’s head and forepaws, when he sustained mortal injuries due to an attack by a group of ninja terrorists. As the Sons of the Tiger, the three martial artists avenged their master’s death, and became a group of adventurers for a while.

Abe met a private detective named Nathaniel Byrd, also known as Blackbyrd. Abe helped Blackbyrd stop a plan by the Caxon Oil Company to exchange black market firearms for illegal plutonium. Blackbyrd later contacted the Sons to help investigate reported atrocities at the New Troy State Prison.

Bob Diamond had been involved romantically with a woman named Lotus Shinchuko, who had joined with the Sons. When Bob got into a fight over her with Lin Sun, a fight broke out and Bob struck Abe. Abe angrily tore off his tiger pendant and stormed out. Realizing the Sons could not be a viable team this way, they broke up. Abe remained with Lin Sun and Lotus at the martial arts school.
