Artemis Crock is a fictional character, appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Todd McFarlane, first appearing in Infinity Inc. #34 (January 1987) and has appeared as both a villain and superhero, usually using her first name as her alias. She is also one of many characters to use the name Tigress.
Outside of comic books, the character played a major role in the TV series Young Justice, where she was re-imagined as a superhero.
Artemis Crock debuted in Infinity Inc. #34 and was created by Roy Thomas and Todd McFarlane.
Artemis Crock is the daughter of the Golden Age villains Paula Brooks and Crusher Crock. She had taken up a career in crime, modeled after that of her parents, but only after some years did she take on the mantle of Tigress.
During the DC mini-series Legends, the people of America were turned against heroes, and law was made that no one could operate legally wearing a costume. This did not affect the villains much, as they were already breaking the law. For Artemis Crock it proved an opportune time to break her parents out of the Empire State Detention Center. Calling herself only Artemis she joined the Wizard in his new Injustice Society – which he called Injustice Unlimited. They overcame the security at the International Trade Conference in Calgary, Canada, namely Infinity, Inc. and a contingent of the Global Guardians and forced the heroes to help in some mayhem. For Artemis, she took Nuklon and Rising Sun to New York and, with their help, freed the elder felons. They all returned to Calgary to share in the stolen wealth but the plan went haywire when Hourman revived and freed himself, as well as when Solomon Grundy was brought in from the Arctic Circle. It was Solomon who incapacitated Artemis and her parents, but in the confusion they were able to escape.
