Born the heiress to a vast fortune and brought up in an all-woman commune, Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva was originally an adventurous archeologist with an interest in mythology and dangerous relics. Having met and befriended Diana Prince, Minerva acquired a ceremonial dagger that belonged to a lost Amazon tribe who worshipped a cheetah goddess of hunt who was the jailer of the plant demon Urzkartaga. When Minerva cut herself on the blade under the assumption that it give her divine power, unaware that the ritual only works if practioner is a virgin, she ended up transformed into a were-cheetah and forced into a life of crime to fund further research to find a cure while satisfying the bloodlust of her curse. But she found opposition in her former friend Wonder Woman, whose golden lasso she fancied.
After being defeated by Wonder Woman, Minerva was approached by the immortal witch, Circe, who gave her a potion that transformed her permanently into the Cheetah. It also gave her full control over her powers, and the ability to take on a human appearance while still have access to all her Cheetah powers.
