Pantha (Rosabelle Mendez) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Publication history[edit]

Pantha first appeared in New Titans #73 (February 1991) and was created by Marv Wolfman and Tom Grummett.[1]

Fictional character biography[edit]

Pantha was a cat-like member of one of the incarnations of the Teen Titans.[2] During her time with the Titans, she had no knowledge of her origins, whether she was a human or panther before the Wildebeest Society mutated her. However, her search led her to many dead-ends. The significance of her designation as "X-24" was also never revealed.

While many of the other Titans were close friends, Pantha went out of her way to alienate herself from the team. Pantha was overtly hostile towards her teammates, often ridiculing and berating them. Despite her attitude, her feral abilities made her a valuable asset to the team.

To her initial frustration, Pantha was "adopted" as a surrogate mother by Baby Wildebeest. She did not like this at first, often making references to grisly ways the child could perish. She does work with him when need be, such as when the Titans helped in a counter-attack on murderous aliens in the Bloodlines crossover.[3] She eventually takes responsibility for his care when she left the Titans with Red Star, forming a family.[4]

Pantha and her teammates were almost stars of a children's cartoon series but the deal fell apart.[5] She is part of a multi-hero effort to investigate and destroy alien parasites across the planet.[3]

Later, she teams up with her old allies when Cyborg, now with an entirely new level of power, threatens the entire Earth. The Justice League of America showed up also and a series of mistakes led to the entire team fighting. Pantha took on Catwoman but neither side won as they were interrupted by blasts from Orion. Baby Wildebeest himself was subdued by Superman.[6]

During the "Infinite Crisis" storyline, Pantha is killed by Superboy-Prime.[7][8][9] During the Blackest Night event, she is revived as a Black Lantern before being killed again by Dawn Granger.[10]

Powers and abilities[edit]

Pantha's human/panther physiology gave her superhuman strength, speed, and agility, as well as heightened senses (such as hearing, smelling, and night-vision), enhanced reflexes, and retractable claws on her hands and feet.

Other versions[edit]

An alternate timeline incarnation of Pantha appears in Booster Gold (vol. 2). This version is a member of the Freedom Fighters and a student at New York University.[11]
