So, Who Would Win?: Hellcat VS. Tigra

TGIF!!!!

Getting right into it today, as I decided to pit two popular female Marvel superheroes against each other,
Hellcat and Tigra.



Now I don't know if you already knew this or not, but Patsy Walker is using Tigra's old costume from the 70's, back when she was calling herself  The Cat.

Well once Greer Nelson went into full-on cat mode, she didn't need a costume anymore. So when Marvel golden age character Patsy walker decided to become a bona fide superhero, she decided to use Tigra's old duds, and the rest is history.

Also interestingly enough, both Tigra and Hellcat have served as Avengers. Just not at the same time.

Anyhoo, I figured it'd be a cool match-up between the two to see who wore the blue and yellow best, and who was the better "Cat."

Let's take a quick look at their stats using Marvel.com:

Hellcat:

Height
5'8"

Weight
135 lbs

Eyes
Blue

Hair
Red

Powers:
As a result of her experiences in hell and her resurrection, Patsy has a "demon sight" perception that allows her to sense mystical phenomena or those items or persons tinged with mystical energy. She is also surrounded by a mystical field that can deflect mystical attacks. It also allows Patsy to summon a costume that mimics her original Hellcat costume, and it appears in a fashion according to her whim. Hellcat once possessed enhanced psionic abilities, due to the mental stimulation of Moondragon’s Titanian technology. She could move small objects telekinetically, resist mental control, and on one occasion was able to generate a psychokinetic force-blast. Moondragon has since used her own advanced psionic powers to undo the effects of her psychic augmenter. Since then, Walker’s psychic abilities have returned but to a far lesser degree than at their peak. She no longer has any psychokinetic ability, but she is still sensitive to certain psychic phenomena.


Tigra:

Height
5'10"

Weight
180 lbs.

Eyes
Green

Hair
Orange fur with black stripes; Black in human form

Powers:
Tigra possesses superhumanly acute senses of smell, hearing, and vision as well as night vision. She also has superhuman strength, speed, agility, endurance, and healing ability.

Got all that? Good.

So......

Hellcat

 VS.

Tigra

Who Wins and Why?
You know the drill. Tell me who you think is the ultimate winner.

Hope you guys have a good weekend

"Soul-Catcher"

Follower Martin Grey wanted to see some more Random.....Comic.....Review!!!!!!!!
So without further ado here's one from Marvel Chillers#6 featuring Tigra, the were-woman! Enjoy!

Marvel Chillers#6(Aug 1976) "Soul-Catcher" Story by Tony Isabella, art by John Byrne(nice huh?)

The story starts off with Tigra chained up inside some mystery complex. She manages to get out one of the restraints, and starts to work on the other one, all of a sudden she hears "Beware, Woman!" She turns around to see who's doing the shouting, only to witness an axe being thrown towards her. The guy throwing the axe at her shouts out "Owayodata, guide my throw! Let Red Wolf's aim be true!" So the guy welding the axe is the so-called "Indian Avenger of the western plains", Red Wolf. Tigra thinks to herself that the axe is meant for her, but then watches as it cuts through her other restraints. Tigra's freed but surprised. Apparently in Marvel Chillers#3, a guy named Joshua Plague and his group of thugs called the "Rat Pack" slaughtered an entire indian village on an indian reservation. One of the Rat Pack told Red Wolf that Tigra was responsible. Tigra known this, and that's why she thought Red Wolf was trying to kill her. Red Wolf replies that he did indeed think she was responsible, but that his wolf Lobo, told him otherwise. Just as Tigra's starting to wrap her head around a talking wolf, an explosion goes off, causing Red Wolf to almost get buried under a ton of rubble. Tigra pulls him out of the way in time though, and they head off to a mysterious door. They both try and eventually get it open, revealing a mysterious shuttle-craft. They both get in and head off to find Joshua Plague and his men. We're then shown a couple of concerned people named Dr. Joanne Tumolo, Jules Bannion, and a guy named Leon. From the scene shown, they're obviously friends of Tigra, and are working on a serum to return her to human form permanently. They're both worried about Tigra going after Joshua Plague, and that's who we see next. Apparently the original head of the Rat Pack, number one, isn't too happy with Joshua, and lets him have it. Deciding he's heard enough, Joshua powers up all of a sudden and blasts the Rat Pack with power he's obtained by the Soul-Catcher. Tigra quickly arrives, and just as quickly attacks! She manages to separate Joshua from his Soul-Catcher, while Red Wolf and Lobo fight off the Rat Pack. In the heat of the battle, it's revealed that one of the Rat Pack is a robot, while Tigra's nearly hypontized by Joshua. She manages to break free in time, only to witness Joshua Plague transforming! Transforming into.....the Super-Skrull! To be continued next issue.

Not a bad story, and if you have the previous issues and the next one after this, it reads even better I bet. The John Byrne art is really good too. I think this is during the brief period where he was doing fill-ins on various comics, which was right before landing his most famous gig, penciling the Uncanny X-men.

Have a safe weekend people!
