Origin
Christina Chiles developed the suit in Syntex labs. She used her own brain pattern to build the suit’s prototype, and used herself as test subject. If it would work, the suit would then go to mass production. Her first combat test was against a burglar, who turned out to be Catwoman. Cyber-Cat was winning the battle, but Catwoman escaped through the sewers. Christina saw it as her failure. She suspected that Catwoman might return to steal again, and so she did. When she again faced her, she was surprised by She-Cat, Catwoman used the distraction and two cat burglars made their escape. But Cyber-Cat managed to shoot one of her tracking devices into She-Cat’s shoulder. She managed to track them down at the docks. Cat burglars fought valiantly, but were no match for Cyber-Cat’s armor. In the end She-Cat tore one of her cables and Catwoman pushed her into water. Cyber-Cat felt that she failed again and refused to let the armor to be mass-produced. To top that, her employer was arrested for criminal acts. Christina took the armor and few other attack prototypes and went to search for Catwoman. Christina Chiles, was then hired to steal a prized artifact from a Gotham museum and assassinate Catwoman by Talia Al Ghul.
