[*]Retractable Claws - The suit's gloves have 2.5 inch retractable prometheum claws. [*]Tail Whip - Her suit's prometheum tail serves dual purposes, as a dangerous whip and a prehensile appendage. Each link is individually motorized and capable of expanding three sharp triangular blades from itself increasing it's lethality significantly. [*]The Cowl - The suit's cowl offers a multipurpose HUD along with thermal vision and advanced facial recognition software. [*]VRX-7 Taser Pistol - Holstered on the suits right thigh is the VRX-7 Taser pistol, a pistol that fires electric bolts capable of temporarily incapacitating a fully grown man, in an excruciatingly painful manner. [/list] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [list] [*]Despite her genetic conditioning, Catwoman is just a human, she is strong and fast for a woman of her size, but she is no more durable. [*]She controls her suit's functions through a wireless nano-transmitter embedded in her cerebellum. A sufficient EMP would leave her incapable of using her suit's gadgets in all but the most rudimentary functions until it's next automatic repair and reset cycle which only occurs when she is asleep. [*]She harbors a deep-seated fear of mind control and those that use it even now that she is free. [/list] [b]Personality:[/b] Katarina keeps to herself and is immediately distrusting of all anyone she meets. She doesn't speak unless spoken to and is generally seen as very cold distant towards all but her most trusted friends. She does still maintain a facade of the confidence she held before her imprisonment, but it's a noticeable lie to a perceptive observer.

She attended school, and had decent enough grades throughout but never held out any hope of changing her life through academia. She had resigned herself to the life of a career criminal from an early age, and maybe that was why she was so damn good at it. She was still in high school when she accomplished her first big heist. She had broken into the Gotham Museum of Antiquities and stolen an ancient Kahndaq relic, it took awhile to fence, but it marked the start of a lucrative career. After a few years, Katarina had acquired a significant amount of wealth from her endeavors, and an equal amount of notoriety. Life was good for her, she had a penthouse apartment in Gotham Heights, a personal driver, and men falling over themselves to get to her. By all rights she could have retired then and there, but she enjoyed it too much. She got an anonymous tip about some valuable research at a Stagg Enterprises lab. Valuable enough to cover her lavish lifestyle for many years to come. Naturally she went for it, unfortunately it had been a trap. Officially she had gotten violent and had to be put down by Stagg security. Reality was much worse, she had become the guinea pig of a deranged scientist under Stagg's employ, his research had been deemed inhumane and defunded. But he had no inclination to stop, he just needed a test subject, someone fit and capable that wouldn't die to his experiments. She was to be his personal bodyguard and assassin, he altered her very DNA, molding her physical abilities and even appearance to his whims. Once he was satisfied came the true horror, he gave her the suit and embedded a nano-transmitter of his own design in her cerebellum and from that day forward she was a prisoner in her own body. Able to only look on helplessly as she carried out his every whim her actions no longer her own, she protected, stole, and even killed for him. It went on like that for two years, until one day without warning it suddenly stopped, she was finally in control of her own actions. She later found that he had died of a heart attack, she destroyed every piece of research he had, took all of his money and burned his lab to the ground. Since then she took the suit, and decided to set about trying to redeem herself for the actions she made under his control.[/hider]
