{Weapon(s)/Ability(ies)}
While not considered superhuman, she is easily the fastest non-meta human around. She literally moves like a cat! She's a peak athlete. Selina is a gifted and accomplished athlete, with heightened acrobatic prowess. Her feats have been so amazing, one could argue that her athletic ability is somewhat superhuman. Catwoman possesses the peak human strength level of a woman her age, size and weight. She is extremely skilled with hand-to-hand combat. She's also an expert burglar. She has steel spring-loaded climbing pitons. She also has razor-sharp retractable claws. She wields an assortment of bullwhips and cat o' nine tails as gymnastic equipment. She also carries an empathic relationship ability with all kinds of felines.

{Personality}
Mood/Temper: She's very loving, seducing, and sweet. She can be like a cat though and hate you one minute then love you the next.
Likes/Dislikes: She likes things that felines like... Attention, for instance.

{Background}
Selina Kyle's early life was defined by tragedy. When she was just a girl, her brutalized mother Maria committed suicide and her violent father Brian drank himself to death not long after. Separated from her younger sister Magdalena and remanded to the Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center, an abusive state home for orphaned or delinquent girls, she opted instead to take her chances on the streets of Gotham City. Amid the crime and corruption of the poverty-stricken East End district, she survived through petty theft. Sharp wits and an amazing natural skill as a gymnast led to her becoming the slickest cat burglar the Gotham City Police Department had ever dealt with. To protect herself, she studied martial arts. Later ex-heavyweight champ Ted Grant (Wildcat) taught her boxing. For a time, she was the most accomplished thief nobody knew. She was also one of the most generous, spreading her ill-gotten gains among the downtrodden and destitute of the East End. She would have continued to rob with impunity if not for the Batman. Spying the Caped Crusader from her window on one of his first outings, she watched him in action and was suitably inspired to take up her own costume when prowling the Gotham night.

Although originally introduced as an equal opponent for Batman, Catwoman's status as hero or villain is ambiguous; she has her own moral code (she abhors killing, though has resorted to it at times) and has occasionally teamed up with Batman and other heroes against greater threats, even saving the lives of the entire Justice League on one occasion. She represents a gray area in Batman's otherwise black and white life where the line between good and evil blurs, and his attraction to her stems from this perception that, in her way, she's kind of a female version of himself: another dark, beautiful creature that prowls the night.
