Panther (Quest for Beasts)

Panther, real name Curtis Devon Shaw, is a member of a gang of mutated animal teens. He appears in The Quest for Beasts, voiced by Phil LaMarr, and also makes a number of appearances in The Quest for Beasts: A New Generation, in which he is voiced by Alfonso Ribeiro of Fresh Prince fame and in two of the spinoff comics.
==Biography==
Panther was originally born as Curtis Shaw in Detroit, Michigan. In A New Generation, he reveals he has an older sister and two nephews. His parents moved with him to New York when he was a baby, and according to the origin story comic The Predator Pack: Origins, he reveals that his parents died in a car crash when he was six years old. Consequently, he was raised by his aunt and uncle, both of whom were childless, domineering Jehovah's Witnesses who treated him cruelly. In high school, though he was a skilled basketball player, he was an outcast, until he found a kindred spirit in fellow students Leo, Johnny, Max, Sarah, Daniel, Katy and Jack. They would later use smuggled DNA to become a team of humanoid animals to commit crimes.
==Appearance and personality==
Curtis's human form is that of a black teenager with black hair styled into small dreads and brown eyes. He usually sports a red hoodie with a tan vest underneath, blue jeans and black sneakers. His mutated form is that of a therianthropic black panther. In A New Generation, he retains his dreadlocks, but is more muscular and sports a black and red jumpsuit and a baseball cap. Curtis, much like his friends, begins as a social pariah with a scarred worldview, but this is gradually softened, especially after his children are born.
