Absolute Wonder Woman Drops Cheetah Bombshell: Priscilla Rich's Fate Unveiled
Absolute Wonder Woman just delivered a massive gut punch: The Absolute Cheetah isn't Barbara Minerva. It's Priscilla Rich.
Fans reeling from Absolute Wonder Woman #17's revelation that both Cheetah and Minerva were present now have their answer. Absolute Wonder Woman #21 confirms Priscilla, the original Golden Age Cheetah, was murdered by Zatara. His motive? Gaining a magical edge against Wonder Woman.
Now, her body is with an imprisoned Barbara Minerva in Area 41. Veronica Cale orchestrated this, hoping Minerva, a brilliant classicist-archaeologist, will make a deal with ancient "plant gods" — Urzkartega. Unlike past abusive pacts, Minerva is pursuing a mutually beneficial partnership. This dramatically ties her to Priscilla's past, present, and demise.
“The Absolute Cheetah isn't Barbara Minerva — it's Priscilla Rich, and her demise is key to Minerva's dramatic transformation.”
Catzye Take
This twist fundamentally redefines the Absolute Cheetah legacy and Barbara Minerva's role in it. Fans should watch closely to see if Minerva truly becomes a new, evolved threat, especially with the 'plant gods' involved. This could shake up the entire Absolute Universe.
