Biography[]
Early Life[]
Barbara Ann Minerva started her career as a geneticist working for GenTech alongside Holden Radcliffe on a research about trans-humanism, as they believed in the possibility of enhancing humanity through the splicing of the human DNA with that derived from other animals.
The Transformation[]
- Not paying attention, Batman? Barbara Ann Minerva died. From then on there only is Cheetah.
- - Cheetah to Batman
However, both enthusiasts had little to no funding from either GenTech of the scientific community, so they sought illegal experimentation. After doping and stealing a cheetah from a zoo, they sought to experiment the animal's DNA with their own inside an abandoned installation. However, a great fire occurred, and Radcliffe died after suffering a head trauma from a falling building part. Barbara became trapped inside the installation, and, desperate to survive, injected herself with the cheetah DNA.
It deeply changed her, turning her from a normal woman to a tall and feline predator, which managed to escape the installation. The transformation made Minerva stronger, but also mentally unstable, and she turned into a psychotic killer and thief.
