Dr. Barbara Minerva was transformed by African mysticism into a Cheetah.
History
A devoted archeologist, Doctor Barbara Minerva had spent years collecting artifacts for the Madisonian Institute, only for her hard work to be pushed aside in favor of an exhibit about Wonder Woman. Enraged by this, Minerva found herself hating Wonder Woman.
While putting away her artifacts for storage, Minerva accidentally cut herself on a ceremonial dagger from Africa. She found herself transforming into a humanoid cheetah and attacked Wonder Woman, at the opening of the Wonder Woman exhibit.
Minerva was defeated, when Wonder Woman destroyed the African dagger, seemingly reverting her back to her normal self. Minerva was taken away to an mental hospital, where she proved to have retained her powers and swore to return.[1]
