Tigra

“	Billy, it's been too long since I've felt like this. The weight of your death has been lifted from my shoulders and now you can finally rest in peace. It's time now for my new beginnings. A time that I intend to relish. Though we were never as close as I've liked, I want to introduce you to a new cop in town-- --her name is-- --TIGRA!	„
	~ Greer Grant / Tigra

“	If you guys think I'm going to break my pretty claws trying to scratch my way in... go fish!	„
	~ Tigra (trying to get through a shield made by the Molecule Man)

Tigra (Greer Grant Nelson) is a fictional superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Introduced as the non-superpowered crime fighter The Cat in Claws of the Cat #1 (November 1972), she was created by writer-editor Roy Thomas and artist Wally Wood (Marie Severin was then brought in to help layout the art), with her early adventures written by Linda Fite. She later mutated into the super powered tiger-woman Tigra in Giant-Size Creatures #1 (July 1974), by writer Tony Isabella and artist Don Perlin.

Iago PUC's ideas

Comic books

• Tigra appears along with numerous Marvel superheroes in Comic Con Incorporated. She is one of the roomers in the titular fictional 5-star hotel and summer resort. She is roommates with Wolverine and is a friend to Sally Acorn, as they were shown surfing together in the hotel's beach.
• A version of Tigra appears as one of the core protagonists in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 (first appearing in the final issues of The Amazing Avengers). This version is Mary Jane Watson, and she is an half-human, half Titanian Tiger hybrid (daughter of F.E.A.S.T. nurse Mary Watson and Titanian Tiger Soto). She initially wore no clothes in her Titanian Tiger form (due to her belief that her Titanian Tiger furr is "enough to cover modesty") until she was given a new two-piece leotard suit which adapts to her powers after earning membership of the Avengers.
• The Mary Jane Watson incarnation of Tigra appears in Marvel's Princesses of Destiny (a comic book tie-in for Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion). She appears as the protagonist of the first issue "The Tiger's Hunt", which chronicles her early days as Tigra, and the beginning of her romance with Peter Parker / Spider-Man. Greer Grant also appears, although under the alias of Tiger Queen. Greer is depicted as Mary Jane's older half-sister, and Soto's firstborn daughter with J. Jonah Jameson's ex-wife Marla Grant.

TV Series and Movies

• Tigra appears in both versions of Iago PUC's Marvel Animated Universe, voiced by Kimberly Brooks.
• Tigra is a recurring character in Avengers Unleashed, voiced by Kimberly Brooks.
• The Mary Jane Watson incarnation of Tigra appears as a central character in Iago PUC's version of The Spectacular Spider-Man Season 3, voiced by Tara Strong. This version became Tigra after she discovered and reassembled the pieces of the Earth Scion of China, which magically granted her the ability to shape-shift into a humanoid tigress with the abilities of fire and ice breathing, night vision, hypnosis and the strengths of several tigers (superhuman strength, stamina, wall-crawling and the ability to run and swim in superhuman speed).
• The Mary Jane Watson incarnation of Tigra appears as a main character in Iago PUC's version of Marvel's Spider-Man, voiced by Ashley Johnson. Her origins are the same of her counterpart in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2, as a half-human, half Titanian Tiger hybrid, and is again the daughter of F.E.A.S.T. nurse Mary Watson (voiced by Grey DeLisle) and Titanian Tiger Soto (voiced by Travis Willingham), who goes by the guise of Stark Industries scientist and Horizon High teacher Dr. Phillip Watson.
  • The same version also appears in the crossover TV movie Marvel's Transformers: Assemble and Roll Out as a main character, again voiced by Ashley Johnson. Mary Jane is first seen with Gwen Stacy, Anya Corazon, Teresa Parker and Carlie Cooper overseeing the swimsuits they bought for their summer trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, (as seen in events of Marvel's Spider-Man Season 2 episode "Fish Out of Water") until they join Spider-Man's fight against a Energon-infected Doctor Octopus and then with out-of-control A.I.M. robots, which leads to an encounter with the Autobots Bumblebee, Windblade and Grimlock. She and her fellow Champions later join the featured Marvel heroes to work alongside the Autobots in saving their universes from Darkspine and a war between the supervillains and Decepticons. She is shown to be good friends with Arcee, with whom she is more partnered during the event.
• The Mary Jane Watson incarnation of Tigra also appears as a main character in Marvel's Spider-Man: Webbed Champion, also voiced by Ashley Johnson. She retains her origins and history from Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2 and Iago PUC's first version of Marvel's Spider-Man (see above), except this version's appearance is based on that of a white tiger. Additionally, Tigra is also a skilled master archer, and is equipped with a tribal bow and Vibranium arrow set. She is initially a student in Midtown High School (as well as the football team's costumed mascot) until she caught Flash Thompson excluding one of the jocks from the team because he was dressed as a party clown and overheard him yelling his hatred for costumed party entertainers (or "useless clowns" as he calls them), including even football team mascots. Upset and hurt, Mary Jane decided to drop out of Midtown High to enroll at Horizon High, plus ending her friendship with Thompson, leaving him brokenhearted, although she still remains friends with his mutually estranged younger half-brothers Marcus (also a party entertainer in a lion costume, and the superhero Lion King) and Jack (whom Mary Jane acts as his babysitter), as well as Liz Allan and Randy Robertson (who also drop out of Midtown High to enroll at Horizon High). Befriending Peter's classmates at Horizon High (Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy (who sympathizes with Mary Jane over her distrust in Flash) and Anya Corazon), she also aids Spider-Man and his comrades in recurring battles, and is among the young heroes who form the Champions team.
  • The same version appears in the Disney+ follow-up Christmas special A Marvel Christmas Carol, again voiced by Ashley Johnson. Mary appears as Tigra twice in the story; first in the opening among the superheroes battling Frost Giants in New York City. Later, during Peter Parker's act as the Ghost of Christmas Present, Tigra is shown dancing with Spider-Man in a Christmas Eve party along with other heroes.
  • The same version appears in the Disney+ follow-up sequel Marvel's Superhero Adventures: Infinity War as a supporting heroine, again voiced by Ashley Johnson.
  • The same version returns as a major character in the Disney+ sequel miniseries Marvel's All-Star Multiverse, voiced again by Johnson. Greer Grant / Tiger Queen also appears, voiced by Kimberly Brooks. Greer is revealed to be married with Bruce Banner / Hulk, with whom he has their children Betty (who is a child version of Red She-Hulk) and William (who is also a human-Titanian Tiger hybrid like his mother).
• The Mary Jane Watson incarnation of Tigra is a main character in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Ashley Johnson.
