Barbara Ann Minerva had carved out a reputation as an archaeologist and treasure hunter, but at a great cost. Her final expedition took her through Africa toward the lost temple of Urzkartaga, home of a legendary tribe who reportedly worshipped a mystic cat-goddess who took the form of a human cheetah. Minerva’s party was attacked by people of Urzkartaga, who planned to use the explorers as blood sacrifices for the cat-god. Despite overwhelming odds, Minerva and Dr. Leavens escaped the ambush and later returned to the temple under cover of darkness. From their vantage point, they saw the sacrificial ceremony that revived and resuscitated Urzkartaga’s cat-god, when, suddenly, another group of natives, a band armed with semi-automatic weapons burst from the jungle to massacre the Urzkartagans, whose sacrifices had taken the lives of many of their own people. In the melee, the cat-god was killed, the temple razed and Minerva found herself trapped within the temple’s ruins along with Leavens, Chuma and the slain cat-god. At Minerva’s command, Chuma explained the ritual and history of the cat-god. Minerva, wishing to command the cat-god’s power, demanded to be subjected to the ritual herself, even though part of the ritual required her to kill Leavens and drink his blood. Painted with sacred designs and dressed in the skin of the cat-god, she took the potion and became the Cheetah. Revealed as Arkham inmate in Wonder Woman vol. 2 #35.
