Right, so Barbara Ann Minerva is the most well known iteration of the Cheetah character and the one we are going to see in the movie. Having Wonder Woman face off in a hard hitting slug fest with her seems like just the right challenge for Diana.

However, it is worth noting that we're probably going to see Wonder Woman clash with the Soviets in this movie, as it's set in the late Cold War era. Fortunately, there just so happens to be another version of Cheetah who stole US military secrets and passed them on to foreign enemies.

During the original run, Priscilla Rich uses the powers of another meta human named Gill to learn some key information about the United States military, something she happily shares with the Japanese during the Second World War.

Sure it's a different era, but still - perhaps the Minerva in the movie will take a page out of the playbook of her comic book predecessor?
