The
Cheetah

Real Name: Priscilla Rich
Base of Operations: Mobile
Group Affiliation: Legion of Doom, Villainy Inc.
Powers: The Cheetah has no known super powers. Instead,
she is fueled by adreneline and pure hatred of Wonder Woman. She
is incredibly fast and agile. She also wears gloves tipped with
razor-sharp claws.
Origin/History: Priscilla was a good hearted woman who
suffered from a split personality disorder. After having the
limelight stolen from her by Wonder Woman at a charity event,
Priscilla returned to her room and had a violent mental
breakdown which in turned spawned the Cheetah personality.
Moment of Glory: In the Super Friends episode “Doomsday”,
the Cheetah, Black Manta, and Sinestro are sent to capture a
military submarine. Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern
show up to stop the villains. The Cheetah goes berserk and runs
towards Wonder Woman in an attempt to destroy her but Wonder
Woman thinks fast and lowers a simple fishing net on the Cheetah
stopping her dead in her tracks.
Moment of Shame: In the Super Friends episode “Trial of
The Super Friends”, the Cheetah, the Scarecrow, and Brainiac are
dispatched to a military base to steal Wonder Woman, Batman &
Robin, and Green Lantern’s power devices as the four heroes are
at the base guarding the newly developed Liquid Light. The
Cheetah is the first to iniate an attack. She gets Wonder Woman
alone and taunts her into trying to capture her. The Cheetah
seeks to confuse Wonder Woman by using a hologram projector to
make it appear than there are several of her. Wonder Woman
thinks she’s outsmarted the Cheetah as she throws her
magic-lasso around the one Cheetah that casts a shadow
indicating that the phony hologram Cheetahs don’t cast shadows.
Little does Wonder Woman realize that the one Cheetah she’s
captured is actually a robot. The robot quickly blasts off and
takes to the sky. Wonder Woman hangs on to her magic-lasso but
is forced to let go once the Cheetah robot makes a jolting
acceleration. Shortly afterwards, the Cheetah ends up retrieving
Wonder Woman’s lasso from the robot and brings it back to the
Legion of Doom.
