    Should Cheetah be wearing Clothes?

    To me, this really defeats the point of Cheetah becoming a were-type creature to begin with. Putting her in clothes automatically undoes the savagery invoked by her being a were-cheetah.


    Might as well turn her back into a regular woman in a cat costume again if you are going to do that.



    On the other hand, the Variant I would love to see is Robotman in clothes.


    Given how Morrison's Cliff Steele struggled so hard to cling to his humanity (including rejecting the name Robotman), it makes perfect sense that he would try to assert some kind of human style over top of his Robot body.

    In the top picture she looks like just a regular woman with the pox.

    Also, if she is a "were-cheetah" shouldn't she have 6 teets ?

      Tigra's worn a sabre-toothed bikini since she's been around, so there's precedent for keeping the furries decent.

        Hmmmm....

        I think it depends on who's doing the art that issue. Most superhero artists avoid a lot of detail (such as noticable nipple topography) so costume or no is a moot point.

        'Course, most superhero artists draw costumes as having been spray-painted on; so maybe it's a double moot point.

        Wait. Where was I going with this....?

            Doesn't she wear a cheetah jumpsuit in Challenge of the SuperFriends?

                  if they are going to dress her did it have to be Peg Bundy pants?

                      The Origional Long Haired version they 1st showed with No clothes for the Proto -type was a ton Better imo. I think they messed up there a bit... And the Short Haired Cowled version shoulda been more Super Friends friendly..., because thats what it's suppost to be for.


                      I guess if she was Nek'ed..., just don't sculpt or paint a Butthole on her.

                          Modern Cheetah should be furry only. Golden Age Cheetah has the fur jumpsuit (which look I actually prefer).

                          Never gave it much thought that Tigra wore clothes when she was covered in fur..however I did think her name was weird. Tigra the Were-Woman? So she's a Man that changes into a Woman?

                          I guess it sounded better than it was planned...she should be Tigra the Were-Cat (which doesn't sound really interesting) or Were-Tiger (which is reduntant with her name), And I guess Tigra the Cat-Woman would have lead to a lawsuit.

                            I'm guessing retailers didn't care for the idea of an action figure that appeared nude.

                            The character herself, is far more human than animal and clothes make sense and are more appropriate, in my opinion. Heck, even Manbat wears pants and he is much more animal looking than her.
                            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                              if she keeps her intelligence, odds are she would cover her bits that keep it kid friendly comics.
