Powers and Abilities

Walton was a veteran commando, seemingly specialised in hand-to-hand combat.

She received superhuman abilities presumably derived from felines. She had unspecified super-senses, and some sort of intelligence powers and/or skills.


History

Panther was killed by Banzai, one of the members of the Q7 Strike Team.

She was in a relationship with Tyr, who had hard time both to let go of his grief and to accept the later revelation that she was a traitor.


Description

See illustrations.


Personality

Panther had too little screen time to draw any conclusion.


Quotes

“A chameleon, huh ? That’s a new one ! But it won’t help you against someone with heightened senses !”
