Tigra (Greer Grant Nelson) Appreciation (2019)

[MajorHoy]

Greer first appeared in her own self-titled comic book titled . . .
The Cat.

from issue #1, cover-dated November 1972,


Unfortunately, that book only lasted for four issues, but Greer did at least get to meet up with Spider-Man in Marvel Team-Up #8 (April 1973):


It was in 1974 that Greer would become transformed from The Cat into
. . . Tigra the Were-Woman!

from Giant-Size Creatures #1 (July 1974):

some pages from the Marvel Handbooks of the 1980s / 1990s:

from The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Vol. 1 No. 11 (November 1983)


from The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition Vol. 2 No. 13 (December 1986)


from The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Master Edition No. 34 (September 1993)

I always wondered how Greer as the Cat would compare to Patsy Walker as Hellcat. I mean, Patsy seemed to have major potential unlocked by the suit, but Greer did have the biochemicals and the training on top of the original Cat suit.

I loved her as part of the Avengers Resistance. Gage used her well.

I just pray to God no one tosses her kid in a blender

[Hypestyle]

hopefully she will be back with a team full time.

[Digifiend]

At least she's appeared recently. In the first arc of Kelly Thompson's West Coast Avengers.

[SilverScarlet]

I would love to see Christos Gage do a Tigra mini-series!

Greer seriously outclass Hellcat. Patsy is fun, but she didn't have the power set that Greer had. And then after the costume got trashed -- she didn't even have the night vision lens or the boot claws for climbing. Greer supposedly still has her empathic powers which could be a great benefit in a fight.

Tigra's got a Hulu show! Weirdly, her co-star is Dazzler.

She looks more like a bad Cheetara the Thundercat rip off than Tigra...

[Digifiend]

It's the hair isn't it? Hasn't Tigra always had long hair in the comics?

[Phoenixx9]

Yes. Even as Greer, it was last her shoulders.

[Derek Metaltron]

To be fair they were never gonna let her look like she does in the comics, they know the furries would have a field day with that.

As it stands I am warming to the look, even if it does seem ver Thundercat’y...
