Wonder Woman 1984 - 10 Things You Need To Know About The Cheetah

Priscilla Rich may not be considered the official Cheetah anymore but she did succeed where Barbara Minerva failed - she killed Wonder Woman.

In the 12-part series, Justice, which takes place in a separate DC universe, Rich slaughtered her cheetahs in a sacrificial ritual so she would be bestowed with the power of the cheetah spirit. Not only did this rite grant her the agility of a wild animal, it endowed her with poison-tipped claws that could kill anyone.

While battling Wonder Woman in Justice #5, the Cheetah hacked at Diana's face and body with her claws, infecting her with a slow-acting toxin. In Justice #12, Diana's body had withered away so much, she had to wrap her magical lasso around herself to keep her limbs from falling apart. Despite her deteriorating frame, she managed to defeat the Cheetah but succumbed to her wounds shortly after.

As her body was brought back to her home of Themyscira, Diana's mother, Hippolyta, created a mould of clay of her daughter and begged the gods to give it life. Won over for her compassion for her child, the gods resurrected the legendary superhero.
