Greer Grant Nelson was an ordinary woman until with a wonderful husband and not many worries int the world until her husband was shot in an off-duty incident. (He was a cop.) While trying to make a living, she started working for a scientist who had developed a way to help a person reach their ultimate potential. That is when Greer became the Cat. (Part of a 1970's attempt by Marvel to gain new female readers.)
As, the Cat, Greer had a special suit that mimicked a cat that included claws that had were attached to a line so she could swing from place to place, or secure her enemies. Later Greer was turned into the Tigra to act as the defender of a secret race of Catpeople.
Tigra has spent time with the Avengers and West Coast Avengers, and her unique skills have often proven to be very valuable. I like Tigra because her partially feline personality is fun to experience.
Sadly, Tigra is often the target for "we need a death syndrome" which is experienced by both Marvel and DC comics. Fortunately, Greer isn't dead at the moment.
