Tigress was a frequent foe of Zatara in the early days of his crimefighting career.

Tigress often battled Zatara and his assistant, Tong. Her first appearance had her attempting to rob a freight train. Later appearances would have her attempting to kill wealthy men through methods such as poisoning their drinks, using attack airplanes, and infecting them with disease from a rare South American insect. Using her influence, she pressures mob bosses into helping her on crime sprees, usually involving thefts of valuables and bank robberies.

  • The Artemis entry in Who's Who: Update '87 #1 states that this Tigress was the mother of Paula Brooks, the Tigress of the Young All-Stars. However, the Appendix in Who's Who: Update '87 #5 corrects this statement and clarifies that the Zatara foe was unrelated to Paula Brooks or her daughter Artemis Crock.
