Powers: A highly skilled combattant with knives.
have a great agility and stealth because his time with the pride of lions.
The best tracker of the world.
Bio: Nine lives and Catman become a joke in all of them becoming an overweight and pathetic villain
Tom Blake lived with a lion pride in the wild to rediscover himself after understood that he had hit the bottom while an enemy told that he didn‘t worth killing.
He used this time in Africa to lose weight and regain his sense of self-worth and fighting skills. This 'perfect existence' would be shattered by the arrival of the Secret Society of Super-Villains,
Now more deadly and resourceful, Catman has become one of the world's finest trackers
Notes: Portrayed as a cunning warrior with a sense of honor and a habit of walking around bare-chested, the character is now a potent anti-heroic character (though far from unflappable). His time in Africa seems to have helped him regain his physical abilities allowing him to fight the formidable super-ape Mallah to a standstill and blind Captain Nazi. He is different from most other villains in the sense that he has noble and heroic qualities (Cheshire notes that Blake behaves more like a hero than a villain), yet he sees heroes such as the Justice League as being arrogant and abusive of their power, as seen when he confronts Green Arrow about the Doctor Light incident. It seems he would rather be associated with people such as Deadshot who at least recognize their moral failings than a group of 'holier-than-thou' heroes. It has been revealed that during his time with the society he impregnated Cheshire and that the two now have a son, Thomas jr.
