Tigra/Hood rematch?

This is from Newsarama's coverage of Marvel's Dark Reign Panel at FX International.

Starting with issue #26, it will be the new Initiative under Norman Osborne, the Hood and the Taskmaster. Gage said he liked the fact that he got to pull out a lot of villains from big name guys, but at the same time, he got to search for obscure villains who weren’t in the handbooks – such as Johnny Guitar and Dr. Sax from the old Dazzler books. Gage said the fun part is writing the villains when they are put into a position where they have to act like heroes. What does a naturally selfish person do when they are put in a position where they have to save lives and risk their own lives in the process? I like exploring what happens to heroes and villains when the roles are switched. And for anyone who remembers when Tigra got a beating from the Hood, Christos said to pay attention, because now the shoe is on the other foot! “She’s coming out of the refrigerator, scratching, clawing, biting – been using my cat as research,” Christos joked, but McCann was quick to add that no cats were harmed in the making of Christos’ book.

	Absolutely! I've long wondered how Marvel could get that so wrong for so long. I mean come on, Tigra is a were-freaking-tiger, how hard is that to make badass? It almost writes itself. If a werewolf is scary badass, and a tiger is ten times deadlier than any wolf, well you do the math. This shouldn't be that hard to figure out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, and in the feline world the females are deadlier than the males. A simple fact of biology you'd think would be plain. When is the comic world gonna catch up to the video game world and put more females front and center, I wonder? You'd think the same principle would apply, wanting to look at an attractive female form instead of half-naked males. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah, everyone knows that the only place for female characters in comic books is in the kitchen, because that's the refrigerator they'll be stuffed into when it's time to cause male characters some angst is. (Reply to this) (Parent)
