Jivan Shi, was angered at losing his status as a doctor because his medical degree from India were not recognized in the United States. Jivan Shi as a therapist manipulated Summer Day into becoming the Hyena again and infecting him with the “curse” so that he could gain revenge on the medical profession.
During the ensuing battle between Summer and Firestorm, Shi became a were-hyena also and ended up infecting Firestorm with the curse. Eventually back in Africa, a magician removed the curse from Firestorm, who was then able to capture both Hyenas. Medical science continued to search for a permanent cure for the Hyena affliction but this was rather redundant since a magician did remove the curse of the Hyena from Firestorm with magic. In the end Jivan Shi was killed on Planet Salvation when a Parademon shot it through the chest.
