Greer
was born in Chicago, Illinois, was married with a man called William once
but he died and she went later to Los Angeles, California. She had a
brief career as a assistant to Dr. Joanne Marie Tumolo, a member of an old
race, the Cat-people. She did research in physiological conditioning, a
study that, to put it simply, would enable people to make fully use of all
powers that was in them, either physical or mental. The program was
funded by an organization who tried to build an army of super powered
women. Greer unknowingly served as a guinea pig
and so became a woman with superhuman powers. She hadn't volunteered
for this but there was no way back now. She mounted herself in one of the
suits that were designed for the army of superwomen, named herself The
Cat and went after the secret organization, in order to stop their
evil plan. She succeed and became a crime fighter in Chicago, were she
fought with or against other famous superheroes like Spiderman and the Man-Killer
Katrina van Horn and Spider
Woman Jessica Drew.
During an encounter with dangerous and evil HYDRA agents The
Cat was hit by a blast of alpha radiation. To save the life of the
deadly wounded Cat, Dr. Joanne Marie Tumolo
transfromed with her into the old cat-race she was a member of. Now the
human Greer, operating in her cat outfit and
calling herself The Cat, became in reality
half-human, half -cat. From now on she would operate as Tigra,
the Were-woman. She was able to transform herself back to her human
form, but she hardly ever did.
She also had been a member of the East- and
the West Coast Avengers |
