Tigra on the prowl ! Roaw. Early John Byrne...

Yikes what an intro ! This just shows how an artist can grow in a short period of time. This story began in Marvel Chillers #11. Byrne finishes it in Marvel Team up just a year later.

Personally I am not buying this set up. I see Kraven hittin' the heavy Gay Leather bars with names like "the wolf's den", or "The mineshaft".

	Doesn't were-woman mean.. man-woman? I am thinking that that does not describe Tigra. Also I am imagining the other Lobo, lurking just out of sight off-panel. Hee. (Reply to this) (Thread)

Yes. Yes it does.

"One terrible night of the full moon, I was bitten savagely by a beautiful courtesan. Now, each month, compelled by forces beyond my control, I undergo a terrible transformation. I, Thomas Winstead, have become - THE WERE-WOMAN! Crasher of royal balls! Seducer of dapper young men! Wearer of fancy dresses! No one can rid the world of my terrible evil!"

	I just want to know where I can get the bikini outfit (or is it a costume lol) that stands up to all that action. Unstable molecules ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is the running excuse for the entire Marvel universe. I mean they can be lit on fire, stretch to fit if you change your size by a few hundred percent, or to hold boobs up at horrid angles while in action! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tell me about it. My mother just came out and asked me to put my top back on cause my niece and nephew are coming over. Reed Richards need to look into this problem. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yeah. A female werewolf is a wifwolf, odd though the word seems. And a story like that would be kind of awesome. Maybe I'll put that on the back burner. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Spider-Man, of all people, should know by now the negative effects of whiplash upon the female neck. (Reply to this)

	Well, aren't WE confident there, Spidey. "So long as I'M around, you ain't the best"? Since when does he brag like that? I mean, no offense, Spidey, but YOU ain't the best, either. You're pretty damn good at what you do, but there are precious few people in the MU who would conceivably qualify as 'the best', and sorry, but you're not one of them. (Reply to this) (Thread)

All Kraven really wanted to do when he first fought Spider-Man was to prove he was the best hunter/tracker/killer of things that go squeek ever. So he planned to take out Spider-Man, since at the time he was one of the most powerful of heroes that a normal human could fight. So half the time in a fight, Spider-man would try to crush his ego, in hopes that this crazy nut would stop trying to kill him after Spidey showed there was no way for Kraven to win.

Plus, let Pete have a little damn ego. He's trying to get some catgirl action going.

	I guess that makes sense, but it still seems a bit out of character for Spidey - he's always struck me as one of the more modest superheroes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hyaroo 2009-05-24 04:14 am UTC (link)
	Actuially, it's quite in his character, or at least used to be -- haven't seen much of that side of him for years now, perhaps because he's generally more accepted by the superhero community, but back in the day he'd often put on a flippant and bragging attitude when around other superheroes. Remember his first meeting with the Fantastic Four? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	psychop_rex 2009-05-24 03:10 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, sure, but that was different - he was trying to talk his way into a job by making himself look and sound as good as he could. And remember, he was a teenager back then - full of beans. He's still got plenty of energy and so forth, but he's not as cocky these days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hyaroo 2009-05-25 05:44 am UTC (link)
	Exactly -- and this story doesn't take place in "these days." It was published in 1976, when Spidey still had plenty of, uh, cock to go around. Okay, that just sounded wrong... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He may well have had, but I doubt it was quite the same flavor as in the Stan and Jack years. I've always thought of what Spidey has as more like 'flippancy' than 'cockiness'; all the various deaths he's had on his conscience through not being fast enough to save someone (even back in 1970, he'd racked up a few) mean he's all too aware of his weaknesses. The first few years when he was a teenager, he perhaps had a certain flavor of cockiness to him, but it quickly became more of a tactic to distract his enemies during battle than a genuine vanity. 'As long as I'm around, you'll never be the best' just seems out of character; he'd be more likely to make a joke of some kind.

	...I can't tell if it's awesome or not that Spider-Man told someone to "sit on it." But I do know I want to make an icon of it. (Reply to this)
