Fictional character biography
Pantha, also known as subject X-24, was a cat-like member of one of the incarnations of the
Teen Titans. During her time with the Titans, she had no knowledge as to her origins. whether she was a human woman or a female panther before the
Wildebeest Society mutated her. But tragically, her ultimately fruitless 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 murderious aliens in the
Bloodlines crossover. She eventually takes responsibility for his care when she left the Titans with
Red Star, forming a family.
