Fictional character biography

When Travis Morgan the Warlord encountered a lovely young woman in Skartaris captured by the evil Titans, he freed her. Calling herself Shakira, the former captive revealed a surprise for her rescuer. Warlord was shocked to find that his damsel in distress was a feline shapeshifter. When he saved her from savage bird-men, Shakira became his ally. She set about repaying the favor when she shapeshifted her way out of a robot's trap that had ensnared both her and Warlord and destroyed their mechanical torture with his own laser weapons. Warlord asked Shakira if she was a woman who became a cat or a cat who became a woman, but she never gave him an answer. Throughout the strange world of Skartaris, Shakira bcame a constant companion and a trusted friend.

Powers and abilities

*Shakira is a werecat who can transform into a small black cat who always seems to sport a small golden spiked collar.
*Her feline form seems to provide her with cat-like instincts even when fully human, such as a desire to chase mice, and a pathological fear of water.
*She is a skilled fighter, both armed and unarmed, and an accurate shot with most firearms.

Other media

* Shakira has appeared in an episode of "Justice League Unlimited" titled "" where Green Lantern, Supergirl, Stargirl, and S.T.R.I.P.E. stumbled onto Skartaris and teamed up with Warlord to stop Deimos and his unlikely allies: Metallo and Silver Banshee of the Legion of Doom from stealing a huge piece of kryptonite rock. Instead of becoming a black cat, the animated version of Shakira shapeshifted into a black panther.
