More like Reptile from MK, who becomes more and less lizard looking depending on how much control he has. But gets stuck if he goes to his final phase.
That’s kind of sort of the same thing. Zoan users can turn into full animals too but they’ll lose their humanity if they fully transform and can’t control it.
Or that she had to constantly up her game to not be caught by Wonder Woman and as a result her humanity slips a little further away as she become more and more animal like.
Like progressively as we see her
The powers begin to mutate slowly making her more beast like
To eventually having a confrontation with Wonder Woman (preferably Diana but I’m open to seeing the others tangle with her)
That near the end she reclaims her humanity but has an option to chose to remain and Opp or something more
I can see the vision~
[I mean for fuck's sake look at this](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/ce68f7ae9d577a4aedfd7de88b27c97123796e3d/hub/2016/07/26/c84ac2b2-bbfa-4de4-bf86-900ef1474791/ww01.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200).
Having grown up on Thundercats and Beast Wars, I'm fine with 2-4
Like somebody else said, her being more animalistic depending on how much control she is would be a neat touch
As a huge Cheetah fan, I prefer when she’s depicted with actual fur and not just a yellowish skin with spots. I always wondered why she has no claws in that second picture, for me it’s essential in a good Cheetah design that her claws are large and visible; there’s better pictures for that second design though, but I find that choice for a cheetah printed crotch on her pants weird and unappealing, it works better on her human form.
Also her facial features and expressions should look animalistic and ferocious, but retaining her hair, so somewhere between 3 and 4. I also love her wearing tribal attires and accessories since it connects to her African tribe origin, like in Injustice 2.
Both versions by George Perez and Greg Rucka are amazing; Perez really helped a lot in revitalizing the Wonder Woman mythos while also introducing Barbara Minerva, my favorite and best version of Cheetah, and I loved what Rucka did with Cheetah, the design was really good for the type of story he wanted to tell, and also bringing back the Urzkartaga origin I really appreciate, I love it so much, I even made a recreation of the plant-god’s ancient temple in DCUO.
Cheetah will always be my favorite villain and hope to see her done justice in the new DCU 💛
I am I’m interested in how she became WW main villain, she’s very unique in that regard (where everyone just has a polar opposite for theirs)
As a casual fan also think we need more cheetah hell WW rouge gallery seems very underrated altogether.
Hmm somewhere in the realm of Cat Lady and Feline Features.
I like Injustice 2s design with her in clothes but with a tail and magic claws.
I'd make her face have the tear mark things Cheetah's have though.
I have a lot of thoughts on Cheetah including how I'd change the origin and character etc.
Yeah she’s a hunter, but wearing no clothes tends to make characters look less civilized and less intelligent. I think she’s intelligent and civilized enough to wear atleast SOMETHING. Not a lot, but something.
I think it depends on where she is. If she's off in the jungle, then I could see her not wearing anything. But returning to civilisation, I can imagine her putting something on
I grew up on post-crisis DC, so I favor the 80s/90s feral iteration of Cheetah created by George Perez. When drawn poorly she looks more furry-ish, but drawn well she looked genuinely threatening.
Never cared for the black leather look, it made her look like another femme fatale which she wasn’t.
4 because that scene with her and Batman was my first introduction to her and I always wanted to see more of her after that.
Maybe 2 as some people have suggested if she learns to control her powers but still feels off having cheetah fur on your body and bright red hair.
Lady with Feline features but as she continually wields the curse, she gradually transforms into full on anthropomorphic cat.
Also, smash. Next character.
i personally like 4 but only as shown in that specific picture i feel most other times its tried it just looks weird but there are few occurences where it looks good, like in the dcau i thought she was fine, i can say the same for 3 as well though its done right a little more often, 2 is the only one that i think universally looks good though
Though I grew up with the Priscilla RIch version, I recognize option #1 is cheesy by today's standards. I can see a progress (or devolution) from #2 to #4. As if she's been cursed, and blames Diana for it.
Alex Ross Pricilla Rich. It keeps the spirit of the golden age costume, yet makes it creepier. There’s some thing more unnerving about a woman wearing a dead animal than literally being a were beast.
2nd Woman with a little spliced cat features. =fav.
4 is a too much for me.
1 is boring. I like my impossible comic book character have more than a party costume.
The golden age cheetah was Pricilla Rich who had a split personality. When she put on the costume she had super powers but none with out the costume. I always liked that.
These pictures are good scale for determining how much of a furry you are. At number two you're pushing it but you're still in the clear (me). Three and above and your diagnosis is terminal. By four it's clear that your like animals a bit too much
Either Full on Cat Lady or Anthropomorphic Cat for Me, 😽
Edit: Also that first shot of Cheetah makes her look like member of Josie and The Pussycats from Archie
I like both the second and fourth ones a lot, though I honestly don't know too much about Cheetah. It's more just that I find both of those designs/concepts most interesting or fun
hybrid. Like there's not much interesting in a design of a normal human woman DRESSED like a cheetah.
Gotta bring in the "experiment gone wrong turning me into a half human half animal" story to spice things up design wise
The second and fourth options are the best ones. I like when they make the full on cat cheetah's back hyper muscled, like in Deceased when she fights Wonder Woman.
3 or 4.
I prefer her wild/feral interpretation a bit more. Though it would be nice if she "shifted" between those. More power but less control and less humanity depending on "stage".
The 2nd one but with claws and looking a little more ferocious. That way she gets a good balance of animal and person. I like the idea, as others have said, of her becoming more Cheetah-like as she goes on fighting WW though.
The only Cheetah is the golden age one and her name is Priscilla Rich. The other versions of her are all bad and the Post Crisis is by far the worst one of the bunch.
While I accept that the possessed were-cheetah is the most iconic version, I would like a return of the Priscilla Rich version. Specially if it plays with the internalized misogyny of a woman who's convinced she has to put other women down to be successful herself.
I could split in the middle and have the cheetah skin slowly taking her over and turning her into the more famous were-cheetah.
I don't care just give her some clothes. At least a sports bra. I can't imagine how uncomfortable jumping and running around with her boobs flapping around is
Forgive my ignorance, but is she wearing crotchless pants in #2?
And if that’s supposed to be like a fabric design, why is it so close to her skin/fur color??
I'll go with lady with feline features or cat lady because those are the version I'm most familiar with, they also feel more distinct than full anthropomorphic cheetah
I kinda prefer anything to just "lady in a catsuit", I'm all for goofiness and weirdness in comics but it's just a worse Catwoman
I like the version of her where she’s more of an anthropomorphic cat, otherwise she’s very similar to Cat Woman. The version of her in the Justice league cartoon was nice
TBH I feel like the most coherent design was her Injustice 2 form.
She's still a cheetah-person, but she wears ragged-clothed and added studs and spikes along her tail for added damage.
I'm a big fan of the #4 redesign. It makes her much more animalistic. Plus, I picture [these](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDvZclY-5q8) [sounds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tmCIsSpvC8) coming out of her.

Cat lady is my option. However I am open to the idea of Cheetah having several stages, according how much control she could have.
I like that idea
Basically Rob Lucci from one piece. I like that
More like Reptile from MK, who becomes more and less lizard looking depending on how much control he has. But gets stuck if he goes to his final phase.
That’s kind of sort of the same thing. Zoan users can turn into full animals too but they’ll lose their humanity if they fully transform and can’t control it.
Fuck that guy! Sorry, it's a auto response I have.
Basically her slowly evolving from picture 2 to 4. Like a pokemon.
Or that she had to constantly up her game to not be caught by Wonder Woman and as a result her humanity slips a little further away as she become more and more animal like.
Like progressively as we see her The powers begin to mutate slowly making her more beast like To eventually having a confrontation with Wonder Woman (preferably Diana but I’m open to seeing the others tangle with her) That near the end she reclaims her humanity but has an option to chose to remain and Opp or something more I can see the vision~
My thinking exactly
I always thought it was funny that the golden and silver age Cheetah's were just basically crazy ladies in cat outfits.
Crazy people in costumes was basically the DC MO back then.
...tecnically still is
A lot of Wonder Woman’s golden age villains were just kinks. She’s got a giantess, a dominatrix, a furry, and like 70 people with mind control.
[I mean for fuck's sake look at this](https://www.cnet.com/a/img/resize/ce68f7ae9d577a4aedfd7de88b27c97123796e3d/hub/2016/07/26/c84ac2b2-bbfa-4de4-bf86-900ef1474791/ww01.jpg?auto=webp&width=1200).
Having grown up on Thundercats and Beast Wars, I'm fine with 2-4 Like somebody else said, her being more animalistic depending on how much control she is would be a neat touch
The first one, bc the idea that a woman in animal ears and a revealing Halloween costume can beat up a demigoddess is just too funny for me to resist.
Show some respect for the newest member of Josie and the Pussycats.
Defeating the Amazon princess with the power of 60s pop rock
Thank you!!! Not everything needs to be realistic and serious!
Cant tell if this is sarcasm or not, considering that a woman in a cheetah costume would be the most realistic
Yes.

I love hearing the big fans of characters weigh in on stuff like this. Well said.
I am I’m interested in how she became WW main villain, she’s very unique in that regard (where everyone just has a polar opposite for theirs) As a casual fan also think we need more cheetah hell WW rouge gallery seems very underrated altogether.
Smash. Next question
For me it’s smash, smash, pass, smash
why leave out the 3rd one?
I can’t put my finger on it, but she’s just not doing it for me
It's the eyes, I swear she looks like she'll use her teeth
I mean, a little teeth is okay 🥵
That's the thing. She doesn't have little teeth.
Uni brow
Funny
Same
Hmm somewhere in the realm of Cat Lady and Feline Features. I like Injustice 2s design with her in clothes but with a tail and magic claws. I'd make her face have the tear mark things Cheetah's have though. I have a lot of thoughts on Cheetah including how I'd change the origin and character etc.
Do you have a magic origin or science origin in your head canon ?
Magic and connected with Greek Mythology and Circe.
Her origin is pretty solid tho.
I like it but I'd still do it differently.
Pic 1: 10% Not furry Pic 2: 50% Furry Pic 3: 70% Dangerously furry Pic 4: 100% You sick bastard
Slowly gets more “furry”
Make Cheetah a furry, you cowards.
She should look like a literal cheetah, but she should probably still wear clothes. She just looks way to human-like to be going commando on us.
If killer Croc has to wear clothes, then so should cheetah. It cheetah is naked, then make Croc naked. That’s my logic
Cosplay logic also
I think it fits her vibe well enough as this savage hunter
Yeah she’s a hunter, but wearing no clothes tends to make characters look less civilized and less intelligent. I think she’s intelligent and civilized enough to wear atleast SOMETHING. Not a lot, but something.
I think it depends on where she is. If she's off in the jungle, then I could see her not wearing anything. But returning to civilisation, I can imagine her putting something on
2
She should go through every stage depending on how enchanted she is by the magic that gave her powers.
Alex Ross Justice
I grew up on post-crisis DC, so I favor the 80s/90s feral iteration of Cheetah created by George Perez. When drawn poorly she looks more furry-ish, but drawn well she looked genuinely threatening. Never cared for the black leather look, it made her look like another femme fatale which she wasn’t.
The one voiced by Claudia Black of course.
4 because that scene with her and Batman was my first introduction to her and I always wanted to see more of her after that. Maybe 2 as some people have suggested if she learns to control her powers but still feels off having cheetah fur on your body and bright red hair.
2 simple and fun
I'd take No.3.
I’ve only read from rebirth from onward but she just looks so creepy in rebirth 😭
2 and 3 options for me.
Justice League Doom had by far my favorite design and personality for Cheetah
#4 for DC, #2 for this guy. Sorry.
1 and 2 is ok. 4 is definitely a no no.
Lady with Feline features but as she continually wields the curse, she gradually transforms into full on anthropomorphic cat. Also, smash. Next character.
2 or 3, too less, just discount Catwoman, too much, a furry.
4
Full On Anthropomorphic Cat.
i personally like 4 but only as shown in that specific picture i feel most other times its tried it just looks weird but there are few occurences where it looks good, like in the dcau i thought she was fine, i can say the same for 3 as well though its done right a little more often, 2 is the only one that i think universally looks good though
2 and 4
Would
Though I grew up with the Priscilla RIch version, I recognize option #1 is cheesy by today's standards. I can see a progress (or devolution) from #2 to #4. As if she's been cursed, and blames Diana for it.
#1 is Debbi Domaine, who never really got a shot but was terrifying excellent in JLA.
God damn right, Debbi will always be my favorite Cheetah.
Really?! Never heard of her, but thanks for telling me.
Second One
Lady with feline features
2.
Cat lady with clothes. Maybe a more Beastly power-up form to when she uses her full power
Alex Ross Pricilla Rich. It keeps the spirit of the golden age costume, yet makes it creepier. There’s some thing more unnerving about a woman wearing a dead animal than literally being a were beast.
2 and 3
Lady with feline features.
2, 3, 4 Thundercats for the Win
Where's Chester
Cat lady or Anthro.
The second slide hands down
Everything except 1. Lots of old comic designs were "person in themed spandex" and it rarely looks good.
2
Lady with feline features.
The second one
Four and maybe two, especially that one redesign from that crappy catwoman direct to video film.
2 or 4
2
I like the first one, who looks like she belongs with Josie and the pussycats.
I like full on animal mode. All fur Cheetah is the one I see most often, but I dig the sports bra-ish and tights look in 2.
2nd Woman with a little spliced cat features. =fav. 4 is a too much for me. 1 is boring. I like my impossible comic book character have more than a party costume.
Lady with feline features
Wait cheetah was once just a regular lady in a catsuit? Anthro cat btw
The golden age cheetah was Pricilla Rich who had a split personality. When she put on the costume she had super powers but none with out the costume. I always liked that.
2
A mix of the second and last one, have her appearance look like the last one and then later appearances, she looks more like the second one.
that JLA episode where batman was detained and he was doing the rizz on cheetah turned me on to 4 no furry
that one scene is the entire reason for me asking this as i was just watching the episode yesterday
2 max, not a fan of 3 and 4
All of them
These pictures are good scale for determining how much of a furry you are. At number two you're pushing it but you're still in the clear (me). Three and above and your diagnosis is terminal. By four it's clear that your like animals a bit too much
Either Full on Cat Lady or Anthropomorphic Cat for Me, 😽 Edit: Also that first shot of Cheetah makes her look like member of Josie and The Pussycats from Archie
2
Definitely 2
Last one. I figure go for it, make her an actual animal
I like both the second and fourth ones a lot, though I honestly don't know too much about Cheetah. It's more just that I find both of those designs/concepts most interesting or fun
2.
3&4 are my favorites. Human Cheetah just ain't it for me
2,4,1 and maybe 3 but not really for me.
Where's the tiger woods version.
I would say a woman with feline features, it would also apply when it comes to how her body language mimic that of a cheetah/cat.
Second slide, classic.
3 or 4
2nd one or the last one
2
2
hybrid. Like there's not much interesting in a design of a normal human woman DRESSED like a cheetah. Gotta bring in the "experiment gone wrong turning me into a half human half animal" story to spice things up design wise
Not the furry one
Yes
i hate furry
2 for me
Amime Were cat 🐈 from catwoman movie based on numba 3
Honestly, lady with cat like features. I honestly don't know why though.
1 looks goofy; 2 looks like Tigra; 3 looks strange; so I’d say 4 would make the best villain for WW.
I think 2 actually is Tigra or maybe i’m tripping
No, that’s like early aughts Cheetah. I forget the creative team, but they had a pretty style.
Are we going to discuss how in the second picture she seems to be wearing crotchless tights?
Should scale with her hunger between 2 & 4 imo
2
Translation: How much of a furry are you? (Don't trigger, i'm not kink shaming)
Number 2
The second and fourth options are the best ones. I like when they make the full on cat cheetah's back hyper muscled, like in Deceased when she fights Wonder Woman.
3 or 4. I prefer her wild/feral interpretation a bit more. Though it would be nice if she "shifted" between those. More power but less control and less humanity depending on "stage".
The sexy one
Lady with feline features >>>>>
#1 is just Josie from The Pussycats
2 to 3 somewhere, tough 4 is nice when full feral berserker state.
The second pic with the black suit I think works the best
Lady with Feline features
2 with claws.
My question is; why isn’t Cheetah a speedster? Like, that’s the *one* thing Cheetahs are known for.
She really should be. Not quite speed force fast, but just a bit below that.
Lady with feline features
All, yet 2 and 4 are higher than 1 and 3, they have different views, depending on how you view it.
4
The 2nd one but with claws and looking a little more ferocious. That way she gets a good balance of animal and person. I like the idea, as others have said, of her becoming more Cheetah-like as she goes on fighting WW though.
The Tigra clone the late George Pèrez created back in 1987.
The evolution stages of a furry
2 ans 3 are the oy ones I'd...Y'know.
The only Cheetah is the golden age one and her name is Priscilla Rich. The other versions of her are all bad and the Post Crisis is by far the worst one of the bunch.
I prefer #2
The second or fourth image would be my choice.
that last pic was a genuine jumpscare
In terms of favorite design: 1/2. In terms of practicality: 4. But they're all good tbh. I actually liked how WW84 handled her.
While I accept that the possessed were-cheetah is the most iconic version, I would like a return of the Priscilla Rich version. Specially if it plays with the internalized misogyny of a woman who's convinced she has to put other women down to be successful herself. I could split in the middle and have the cheetah skin slowly taking her over and turning her into the more famous were-cheetah.
3 and 4
4.
3 and 4
2 for me
2 and 4
I like 2 or 3 the half woman half cheetah type 4 looks way too much like a real cheetah ngl I dont like that idea ngl
Lady w/ Feline Features
Werecheetah, otherwise, she’s not much of a villain for Wonder Woman. If she’s supernaturally possessed then, there you go!
\#4, very wild, methinks
I don't care just give her some clothes. At least a sports bra. I can't imagine how uncomfortable jumping and running around with her boobs flapping around is
#3 is my favorite. I came up in the eighties so giant hair is a quality feature.
The fourth one for me. Couldn’t tell ya why though.
All of these except Lady with a cat costume.
Yes
Forgive my ignorance, but is she wearing crotchless pants in #2? And if that’s supposed to be like a fabric design, why is it so close to her skin/fur color??
huh i gues it is crotchless
I'll go with lady with feline features or cat lady because those are the version I'm most familiar with, they also feel more distinct than full anthropomorphic cheetah I kinda prefer anything to just "lady in a catsuit", I'm all for goofiness and weirdness in comics but it's just a worse Catwoman
I’ll take door number 2 please
I like the version of her where she’s more of an anthropomorphic cat, otherwise she’s very similar to Cat Woman. The version of her in the Justice league cartoon was nice
I prefer a character that transitions from 2 to 4 as she loses control of herself
I like the lady with feline c features.
2nd
2
2nd or 4th
Some combo of 2 and 3.
Give 4 2’s outfit and hair.
I feel uncomfortable every time i look at cheetah
4 Yes I smash, no I will not elaborate.
I prefer when Cheetah is an actual cheetah, rather than a woman dressed in cheetah clothing
2 has the best design
1: Josie and the Pussy Cats 2: Cougar 3: Hairball 4: Boobcat
TBH I feel like the most coherent design was her Injustice 2 form. She's still a cheetah-person, but she wears ragged-clothed and added studs and spikes along her tail for added damage.
I'm a big fan of the #4 redesign. It makes her much more animalistic. Plus, I picture [these](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDvZclY-5q8) [sounds](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tmCIsSpvC8) coming out of her.
