Cheryl Lynn isn't quite sure who she is, but she's pretty sure of what she wants to be. A warrior woman. A bad-ass mamajama. Perhaps an earth goddess extraordinaire. She spends her days abusing keyboards and screaming at computer screens while she waits for her cult following to finally show up.

She changes her mind more often than extras in rap videos change thongs.

Fur flying.

   

   

Tigra's beatdown was brutal. Beatdowns should be brutal. That's what happens when you mess with villains who roll deep. But in my opinion the incident wasn't depicted as sexy. Yes, there were one or two panels where there was entirely too much exposed cleavage (side-eye for Yu), but it was a straightforward ass kicking for the most part. Nasty. Ugly. Clinical.

I suppose the scene doesn't upset me because I am thoroughly convinced that Tigra is going to heal and wreck shop for weeks because of this. I can't imagine that any writer currently at Marvel would let Tigra weep in a hospital bed while someone else fought her battles. The character has superpowers. And someone just threatened her mother. Do you know how many people would straight up disappear if my mother had been hurt? I'm sure there's a Tigra miniseries already lined up. And many, many characters will be cursing the fact that they do not have medical plans when it hits the shelves.

Man, it's gonna be awesome. Tony's gonna be all "Chill, fam'! We got this!" and then Tigra's gonna be like "What you got, bitch? You couldn't even keep Cap from bein' shot! I'm handlin' this right here!" and then Tony's gonna be all "You watch your mouth, trick! Let me hear that you're out there actin' like a villain and best believe I'll treat you like one!" and then Tigra's gonna be like "They shot my momma's church crown, Tony! They gots to go!"

And then Tigra will hurt lots and lots of people. And then Tony will put Tigra's mother in Witness Protection and try to force Tigra to turn herself in by offering the location of her mother's whereabouts as a trade. And then Tigra will be like "Eat a dick, Tony. You just told me that my moms is safe. I don't need to know where she at. I'm straight rogue, bitch. You need me? Call my lawyer. Here's a dial tone to get you started."

And Tigra will be tougher than ever. I'm sure of it. And if I'm wrong? Feel free to curse the hell out of me or everyone seated at the next Marvel panel in your area!

Justice League of America #14.

Uh, DC? I don't think I'm supposed be laughing at serious torture scenes. Something might be off here.

ETA: In other news, that image has convinced me that Wonder Woman, Black Canary and Vixen would make a fabulous Apollonia 6.
