  • A wealthy young woman who felt guilty about her wealth and attempted to make amends by joining ecological extremist groups such as the Organization for Ecological Sanity, Debbi Domaine found herself summoned to the deathbed of her egocentric and reclusive aunt, Priscilla Rich. But before the dying old woman could reveal her deepest secret to Debbi, Priscilla Rich breathed her last. Recoiling from the sight of the dead woman, Debbi staggered back against a closet and was knocked unconscious by a mannequin that fell from within, a mannequin clad in a bizarre cat-like costume. In the last instants before darkness overcame her, Debbi saw a weird figure in a reptilian costume enter the room. Debbi awakened to find herself prisoner in a hidden headquarters of the would be world conqueror known as Kobra, hanging spread eagled from the ceiling of a room filled only with sophisticated projectors. Kobra had originally come for Priscilla, who had secretly been the super villain called the Cheetah, wanting to employ her in his plans, but now she was dead, he would need a substitute. Despite Debbi's protests, Kobra filled the room with holographic images, hundreds of scenes, each worse than the one before; factories polluting air and water, tankers spilling oil, hunters killing helpless seals. These images were calculated to fill Debbi with fury, and combined with a series of electrical shocks they drove her insane. Released from her constraints and given a costume similar to that of her aunt, Debbi was told by Kobra that she was now the avenger of wronged nature - the Cheetah. At Kobra's command, the new Cheetah battled Wonder Woman, but the amazon princess finally overcame her and Kobra. She later joined the Secret Society of Super-Villains and battled Wonder Woman once again, but was defeated and incarcerated in Arkham Asylum. She eventually escaped, battling Wonder Woman's best friend Etta Candy, who had disguised herself as the heroine, alongside Doctor Psycho, Silver Swan, and Angle Man. When the world rearranged during Time Crisis: Deborah Domaine never donned Cheetah costume, and Priscilla Rich continued living until Minerva killed her.
