Shakira from 'The Warlord'

There is something about The Warlord that has always appealed to me.

It's not just the fact it's Mike Grell writing, or that it's an awesome take of Edgar Rice Burroughs, it's the women. The women in The Warlord were always very...for lack of a better word, awesome. From Tara to Jennifer Morgan and finally to Shakira, the women weren't women in distress, but strong, no-nonsense characters that often held their own against the threats from Skartaris.

Powers:
Werecat:Shakira is a werecat, capable of shifting from her human form to her cat form instantly. Shakira is at home in either form, and possesses senses and other skills that carry over from one form to the other. So far, Shakira has only displayed the ability to shift into a cat the approximate size, shape, and weight of a normal housecat, but it is suggested in both the new Warlord series and the Justice League Unlimited episode with Skartaris that Shakira can shift into a large panther and hybrid form. For the purposes of this write-up, Shakira is being featured in her house-cat form. As such, Shakira has the following abilities:

• Animal Transformation: House Cat: Shakira can assume the form of a black house cat, with all of her equipment and scant clothing chanigng with her. The only thing remaining obvious is her silver collar which shifts with her in size.
• Tracking: Shakira can track with Ex (20) ability
• Heightened Senses: Shakira possesses Gd (10) enhanced senses
• Dark Vision: Shakira can see in near total darkness, and can perceive heat signatures
• Stealth: Shakira posseses Rm (30) stealth

• Bite: Shakira's bite can do Gd (10) damage
• Hyper Climbing: Shakira can climb quickly with Gd (10) ability.
• Hyper Leaping: Shakira can jump further than a normal human or cat with Gd (10) ability.
