— Catwoman src

Catwoman is a Los Angeles-based vigilante with cat-powers.

Famous fashion model Joan Jordan was relaxing in her penthouse with her cat, Ebony, when both were struck by a bolt of green lightning. Something about the lightning changed them, linking their minds, increasing Ebony's intelligence and allowing Joan all of a cat's speed, agility and physical skills. After using her new powers to stop a group of would-be kidnappers, Joan designed a costume and set out to become one of the emerging wave of super-powered crime fighters appearing across the country, calling herself Catwoman.
