An archaeologist by trade (which lines up with Diana’s DCEU job as a museum curator), Minerva is a selfish rival of Diana Prince who finds herself turned into a cheetah-like entity after a bizarre tribal ritual in the lost city of Uzkartagan.
A new rumor floated by the folks over at Omega Underground seems to suggest that Kristen Wiig may portray arguably the most iconic version of Cheetah from the DC lore: Barbara Minerva.
The ritual was intended to endow her with immortality; however, unbeknownst to Barbara, it was only meant for use on virgins, thus cursing her to her the persona of Cheetah.
