Synopsis

Tigra #4 synopsis by Peter Silvestro
Rating: 4 stars

Greer “Tigra” Nelson watches a TV show on Captain America and ponders how her career in the Avengers doesn’t seme to have amounted to much. She meets with Officer Brian Keenan who thanks her for her efforts to shut down the Brethren of the Blue Fist. He tells her they have the DNA results on Chief Morrison’s murder (end of issue #1) and it may be the same man who killed her husband Bill. She vows to get him but what Keenan doesn’t tell her is that the suspect, Commander Weising, is an undercover cop sent to infiltrate the Brethren….

That night, the Brethren ambush a noted activist but it’s a trap and the “victim” is Officer Keenan in disguise. Greer is there among the Brethren and all is chaos; Keenan is shot and dies in Greer’s arms….

Tigra follows Weising to the cemetery where he stands over her husband’s grave, confessing how the undercover job is difficult but he is doing his best. Greer approaches him and Weising, thinking she is one of the Blue Fists, attacks her. He accuses her of disgracing the grave of the man who created the Blue Fists for honorable reasons but others perverted his vision. Greer is unable to tell him Bill Nelson was her husband but she tries to reach her amulet to transform into Tigra…but Matt McMullin arrives and shoots Weising. McMullin reveals that he knew who she was all along and now he can frame her and Weising as the leaders of the Brethren of the Blue Fist and kill them, making himself the hero of the day. But there’s one thing he hadn’t counted on: she turns into Tigra and chases him around the cemetery. McMullin confesses to killing her husband who founded the Brethren for honorable reasons but when he saw the group hijacked as an organization of vigilante killers he was going to expose them so McMullin killed him. She catches him, tears him up a bit, and then delivers him to the police. Greer fills us in on what happens next: Weising recovers, provides evidence against McMullin who informs on the rest of the group….

And Greer graduates from the Police Academy to join the force and Steve Rogers shows up to the ceremony to congratulate and encourage her. She tells her husband that the weight of his death is finally lifted from her shoulders and now with a new beginning she can serve as a cop named Tigra….
