Selina Kyle's mother committed suicide when she was very young and her father drank himself to death soon after. She was put in an orphanage where she practiced her balance, speed, and agility on the rooftops at night to escape the physical and verbal abuse she received in the orphanage. Eventually she left the orphanage and took to the streets, picking pockets to survive. When she was caught picking pockets at a circus the ring-master became an unexpected ally, and she learned slight of hand, flexibility, and balance from the performers in return for a cut of the money she stole from patrons. When the ring-master died she returned to the streets where, under the tutelage of Wildcat Ted Grant, she learned kick-boxing and the bullwhip. She became a prostitute and used her position to gain information for potential burglaries. On one such burglary she encountered a ninja who she followed back to a shady-dojo. With the aid of her photographic memory Selina quickly mastered everything she was taught and upstaged the thief, Kai, she had seen at the scene of the robbery. He later took on the identity Hellhound and the two have a bitter rivalry. After seeing the masked Batman in action Selina adapted one of her catsuits for thievery and took on the identity of Catwoman. Though she's mostly motivated by greed she has, on occasion, sided with the good-guys, most recently during No Man's Land. Bio by RavenChyld
