In the pre-Crisis series Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985, there were two women who donned spotted cat costumes to fight Wonder Woman as the Cheetals: socialite Priscillas Rich and her niece DeborahDomaine. There are two Post-C Crisis Cheethers: Barbara Ann. Minerva and SebastianBallesteros, Minerva being the more prominent of the two. While the Pre-C crisis Cheetcats are simply women in costumes, the Post- Crisis Cheet Ahs have taken on a more mystical note, being champions of a god much as Wonder Woman is to her patrons. They actually morphing into powerfully ferocious human-cheetah hybrids with great strength, agility, and deadly claws and fangs which make them challenging opponents to Wonder Woman and other powerful superheroes in battle. The first woman to become the Chetah is Priscila Rich, a 1940s-era blonde Washington, D. C. debutante of aristocratic upbringing who also has an overwhelming inferiority complex and suffers from a split personality.
