Paula Brooks is a fictional comic book character published by DC Comics. She is one of many characters to use the names Tigress and Huntress.

Brooks first appeared in Sensation Comics #68 as the Huntress where she was created by Mort Meskin. Later, it is retroactively revealed that she was a heroine named the Tigress before becoming a criminal where this alias was created by Roy Thomas.

As a member of the Injustice Society named the Huntress that resides on Earth-Two, she fights the Justice Society of America. During this period she meets the original Sportsmaster, whom she later marries.

Prior to the Crisis on Infinite Earths, she battles Helena Wayne (who had become the new Huntress) and is defeated. During this time, an Earth-1 Huntress and Sportsmaster are revealed. They fight Batgirl and Robin in "Batman Family" and then challenge the Earth-1 superheroes to a baseball game between heroes and villains. When the heroes win, the Earth-1 Huntress and Sportsmaster reform and aren't seen again. After the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Earth-1 pair cease to exist and the Golden Age versions become the dominant version in the new unified universe.

She never uses the Tigress name or her real name (Paula Brooks) during her Pre-Crisis adventures.

In the pages of Young All-Stars she was retroactively renamed the Tigress. These stories took place prior to her villainous career as the Huntress.
