Minerva, or the most famous modern version of Cheetah, became obsessed with Wonder Woman because she wanted her lasso.

At first trying to obtain it through normal means as herself, when that didn't work - because you know, magic lassos are not really things you give away as gifts or put up for auction - she went down the old fashioned route.

Said route amounted to Cheetah confronting Diana in her supervillain avatar and stealing it. As you would expect that didn't quite work out either, but Cheetah would not give up that easy.

During the Invasion! storyline, after heroes and villains had united to defend the earth against an alien alliance, Cheetah seizes the right moment and working alongside two of the invading alien Khunds, she finally manages to lay hands on the prized lasso.
