Overview
Personality and attributes
She later came to terms with the incident with the Hood when she was forced to beg for her life. This led to her going on television and conducting an interview where the full video of her ordeal was shown to the public. She came to admit that she needed help and went to seek aid to combat the anger she felt at being threatened as well as helpless before the supervillain. Greer stated that showing the tape was embarrassing and painful but she admitted that ultimately the incident was not her fault. (Avengers Academy v1 #8)
Her son William was revealed to lack even a single trace of Skrull DNA despite his father being one of the alien infiltrators. This was because of the Skrulls using genetic material of individuals to somehow become the person on a molecular level. Thus, he was genetically the child of Tigra and Hank Pym though Greer did not believed the latter to be the child's father. Instead, she intended to raise the child herself and believe that Pym's complcations would make him a poor father to her son. Despite that, she wanted him to look after and raise William in case anything were to happen to her. (Avengers Academy v1 #7)
