Commonly regarded
as the archenemy of Wonder
Woman, The Cheetah first appeared in Wonder Woman #6
(1943). There have been four different Cheetahs since the character's premiere,
which include Priscilla Rich (the Golden Age Cheetah), Deborah Domaine
(the Silver Age Cheetah), Barbara Ann Minerva (the modern age and current
Cheetah), and Sebastian Ballesteros (a male usurper who briefly assumed
the role in 2001). The first Cheetah,
Priscilla Rich, was a 1940s-era blonde Washington, D.C. debutante of aristocratic
upbringing who also had an overwhelming inferiority complex and suffered
from a split personality. After being eclipsed by Wonder Woman at a charity
event, Priscilla retreated to her room and collapsed before her makeup
mirror. There she saw an image of a woman dressed like a cheetah. "Horrors!"
she cried, as she gazed at her evil inner self for the first time. "Don't
you know me?" replied the reflection. "I am the REAL you - the Cheetah
- a treacherous, relentless huntress!" The image commanded her to fashion
a Cheetah costume. "From now on," intoned the reflection, "when I command
you, you shall go forth dressed like your TRUE self and do as I command you..."

Cheetah was
always a lesser-known / sleeper DC character, but she ended up
being one of the cooler / more obscure characters to appear in Justice League: Task Force.
From what I know about her, Cheetah is a pretty straight-forward and naturally design. Cat
girls usually end up being likeable designs... (unless they're the
ultra-annoying anime type). It's pretty crazy Cheetah made her debut all
the way back in 1943. Geeez.... My Grandparents were little kids back then! Hmm,
Cheetah could be Felicia's or Cham
Cham's great Grandmother.
In any case, it's pretty cool Cheetah will make her return to fighting games (in
Injustice 2) after a 22 year absence!
