User blog:Hugues de Payens/Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Easter Egg- Tygra or Hepzibah

James Gunn has said that there is a big Easter Egg hidden in Volume 2. So I'm going to try and find it. This is my second theory.

While we see the Iron Lotus, the club on Contraxia, we see a number of neon lights depicting dancers. Most of the lights feature robotic dancers, but the one over Howard the Duck is different.

The one above Howard features a dancer that doesn't seem robotic and has a tail. My first guess was that it was Tigra. From what I found, in the comics, she left Earth to travel in space with Starfox. She was also a friend of Moondragon, who in the comics was Drax the Destroyer's daughter.

I also thought it could be Hepzibah. In the comics, she was a member of the Starjammers who were a group of space pirates that targeted the Shi'ar Empire. Hepzibah would make sense for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the Iron Lotus is known to be disreputable as noted by Stakar, which would be perfect for pirates to go. Secondly, Hepzibah is known to take part in exotic dancing, such as in Uncanny X-Men #484.

One issue I have, however, is that the lights show the dancer having two ponytails, and as far as I know neither Tigra or Hepzibah have had their hair that way.
