> > In Avengers #215 by Jim Shooter, Tigra is so frightened after the Molecule Man has just trashed Thor, Iron Man, and Cap that she breaks down and cries and begs for her life. She pulls herself round later but it's part of the reason she elected not to stick around as an Avenger at the time.

> Yeah, and wasn't there some story where she gets burnt by Ghost Rider's hellfire and suffers from crippling fear as well? Also by Shooter? However, there are plenty of instances since then where the character has faced overwhelming odds and overcome them.

Well, the point of the Ghost Rider story was how she overcame her crippling fear. In fact she spoke about fighting past that experience later in #250 when team-mate Captain Marvel had been badly affected by Phobos' fear powers.
I have no wish to defend Bendis' story, but it's only fair to recognise that Greer has crumpled at least once before when she's been terrified for her life.
