Ocelot

Origin

Ocelot was a homeless woman, when she was kidnapped and put through an experiment of mixing humans and animals by Doctor Slayton. The experiments were executed without anesthetics under the orders from Duncan. She was meant to shift from human to animal form at will, but her human side was too strong and she repressed the animal side. She was put through torture and mind control to make her the weapon they wanted her to be, but all in vain. Finally she escaped.

Creation

Ocelot was created by Ron Wilber, who wrote and draw her in her first appearance in Ocelot #1.
