Catwoman

Lyla-Krystal Jones-2nd


 * CATWOMAN**


 * Catwoman is one of Gotham City's most prominent villains, ranking near the top with Joker and Penguin for the most criminal activity. Dressed in a sleek, black bodysuit Catwoman has the appearance and grace of the animal from which she gets her name. Indeed, at times she has been known to meow, and[[image:200px-Catwoman_010.jpg width="224" height="255" align="right"]] when Batman for example, is close by her voice takes on a distinctive purr. Her capers are usually related to cats in some way. Whether it be a form of ancient treasure or jewellry in the shape of a cat, cat-gut strings from antique violins, or the legendary treasure of Captain Manx, Catwoman will hatch a scheme which will usually involve trying to rid Gotham City of its caped protectors. Though she is attracted to Batman, she has the sense to realize he is a hinderance in her plans. She has been known to team up with other master criminals. Her partners in crime include Penguin, Riddler, Joker, Ma Parker and Sandman, though she had planned to double-cross him when the caper was finished. Her real name is Selina Kyle.


 * Like Batman, Catwoman’s abilities are not superhuman – simply the result of dedication and long training. She’s a master acrobat, adept in unarmed combat or with a few signature weapons (like her bullwhip), and perhaps the finest burglar Gotham City has ever seen. It would take a formidable security system to keep her away from a target once she’s set her mind on snatching it. Like most experienced thieves, she also has a fair eye when it comes to appraising the value of gems, rare artifacts, and objects of art.

 * ARTEMIS**
 * Some say that Artemis's origins lie in Artemis Ephesus, as a Great Mother Goddess. As Artemis Ephesus she is not a virgin, but is instead featured in a sculpture with many breasts, thus, signifying that she is mother of all life. Leeming speculates that Artemis probably once had a lover attendant as Artemis Ephesus, [[image:img_artemis.jpg width="273" height="291" align="right"]]but never as a Greek goddess. He continues to say that the change from the Mother Goddess to the virginal and masculine Pallas Athena "suggests a defeminization of the Great Goddess."[|[1]] Leeming contributes this "defeminization" to the undermining of her powerful matriarchal cult by patriarchal Homeric/Olympian religion. The final product of this "defeminization" is the Artemis that most are familiar with today: the virgin goddess of the hunt and childbirth and the protector of the young, both animals and humans.
