| Background: |
|
The oldest of two sisters from a fractured family, Selina
Kyle had one of the toughest childhoods one could imagine. After her
mother's suicide, she and her sister Maggie were sent to the Youth
Authority, where Selina began to see how hard the world could really be.
After escaping from Juvenile Hall at age 13, she lived on the streets as a
runaway and began to learn the art of being a thief, something at which
she excelled. Inspired by seeing Batman in action in his early days,
Selina adopted the persona of Catwoman as a way to exploit those she saw
exploiting so many others. When her success as Catwoman made her wealthy,
she entered Gotham's social elite, dining and dancing with the same people
from whom she was stealing. It was during her time as a member of Gotham
high society that Selina briefly dated Bruce Wayne.
Recently, Selina returned to the East End of Gotham to
reevaluate what she wanted from her life as Catwoman, and decided she had
strayed from her original path. While she still sees herself as someone
who lives outside the law, now she also speaks for society's cast-offs.
Someone has to care about the people who fall through the cracks.
Catwoman participated in two JLA cases. The first was
during the second JLA membership drive and she snuck into the JLA
Watchtower. She ended up helping to defeat
Prometheus. The second time
Catwoman aided the JLA was during The Technis Imperative. |
