Character Info
Profile
Shirlee Bryant was the first woman to become the Cat. She might have been a superhero, like her counterpart Greer Nelson, but fate set her on a different path. Out of uniform, she is a stunningly beautiful young woman, and she uses that to make people think the best of her. In uniform, her mask makes her resemble the cat-headed Egyptian goddess Bast.
Timeline
Timeline:
* 1987: Born and raised in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.
* 2005: Scouted by a photographer, the pretty blond cheerleader moved to Chicago. She appeared in magazine pictorials and pinup calendars but never broke into the mainstream or the big money.
* 2012: Malcolm Donalbain found her at a meet-and-greet and hired her as the spokes-person for his proposed nationwide chain of fitness spas. After he agreed to sponsor University of Chicago Professor Joanne Tumolo's private experiment, he volunteered Shirlee as its guinea pig. They succeeded beyond expectations. Shirlee developed super-human physical and mental abilities.
Timeline2:
* 2013: For a year, Shirlee layed low, shadowing Greer Nelson (her arch-rival) and committing robberies to build a bankroll and fund her lifestyle. If someone saw her, they would think it was Greer in the Cat uniform. Toward the end of this period, Greer and the Cat disappeared (she'd been transformed into Tigra and relocated to the West Coast).
* 2014: With her competitor gone, Shirlee set the Cat loose on a major crime spree. Beside the cash she accumulated, she collected secrets that allowed her to blackmail her way into the corrupt power structure of Chicago.
* 2015: Greer relocated to New York and Shirlee decided to follow her. She used her contacts in the underworld to establish her bona fides there. She retired her Cat alter ego temporarily. Toward the end of this period, Patsy Walker became the Hellcat and Shirlee brought the Cat out of retirement.
* 2017: Hellcat wrote a book, "The Hellcat Chronicles", and Shirlee learned the background of Dr. Tumolo's and Greer's conspiracy against her. She engineered Dr. Tumolo's death in New Orleans, plunging Greer into a year's long depression. Then she set her sights on Patsy. Patsy's ambition to join the Avengers was thwarted and she disappeard from public sight.
* 2020: Greer joined the Avengers, putting her back in Shirlee's list of enemies.
