As I was amusing myself with thoughts of Charles Xavier as the Kenny McCormick of the X-Men — “You killed Charlie! You bastard!” — Valerie D’Orazio one-ups me as she sees shades of Blue Velvet in the increasingly creepy Tigra-Hood storyline in New Avengers Annual #2.
Meanwhile, Blog@’s own Carla Hoffman looks at the abuse recently heaped on Greer Grant, and wonders, “Did Tigra spit in Bendis’ coffee?”

FWIW, there are at least four civilian names listed online for Tigra: Greer Nelson, Greer Grant, Greer Grant Nelson, and Greer Nelson Powers. The MARVEL ENCYCLOPEDIA uses the name “Greer Grant Nelson.” Bendis’s Tigra is a generic woman who can’t defend herself against anything or anyone.

It would be nice if at the end of this story arc Tigra introduced The Hood to her Mom, and then Mom introduced The Hood to a crowbar.

Huh. And I thought the Hood/Tigra stuff couldn’t get any more dumb. Guess I underestimated Bendis.
