I don't wanna be like anyone anymore. I wanna be number one. An apex predator, like nothing that's ever been before.

Notes
- This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the DC Extended Universe and is an adaptation of Barbara Minerva/Cheetah. The original character was created by Len Wein and George Pérez and first appeared in Wonder Woman (Volume 2) #7.
- Though the character is never literally referred to as "Cheetah" in her debut film or any promotional material, her "apex predator" transformation was significant enough to warrant the connection to her comic book counterpart.
