## History

Pardus is a leopard Faunus and former member of the Satyra, going back to its early days. Pardus was actually one of the four top lieutenants chosen by His Eminence. Pardus, like many in the Satyra, utilized terrorist attacks with the goal of making humanity suffer and killing off anyone who got in his way. If there were any Faunus or Mobians who didn't support the Satyra were eliminated. However Pardus grew too ambitious.

He sought to challenge His Eminence for control of the organization but the leader foresaw this betrayal and called on the unknowing aide of an actual hero to stop him. This hero would become a member of the Justice Friends, the feline hero known as White Tiger. At the time, White Tiger was a young member of a tribe that lived in India, near a Faunus and Mobian colony called Cape Suzette and was raised alongside his brother, Bagheera who is known as White Tiger's counterpart: Black Tiger. Both responded to the rumor of an assassination being carried out on Shere Khan but it was actually a set up.

His Eminence had tricked Pardus into either believing he would be meeting with Shere Khan or that he was Shere Khan and Pardus jumped at the chance to kill him. The tiger heroes stopped him from carrying out his plan and defeated him in battle. Pardus was then sent to the Le Brea Correctional Facility; a prison built for members of the Satyra and has been there for over twenty years.

## Abilities

So far Pardus has shown only above human strength despite having spent over twenty years in prison. As soon as he escaped Pardus showed exceptional tracking skills as he easily tracked down and killed his former teammates Beaton, Sol and Ajax. When facing White Tiger Pardus showed himself to be incredibly fast as part of his Faunus heritage along with having high levels of superhuman strength, speed, agility and sharp reflexes. Pardus also possesses skills in hand to hand combat, able to fight White Tiger of the Justice Friends along with Young Justice members Artemis and Superboy and Legendary Warriors Kazemon and Lowemon. His fighting style combines military style training with the lethal qualities of his Faunus heritage such as his claws and teeth. His natural claws allow him to climb walls and can slice through almost any substance except for the invulnerable skin of Superboy.

Against opponents he cannot cut with his natural claws he deploys his claw gauntlets that have been modified to fight and kill powerful opponents. Victims have been reported to be mauled to death by an animal, such as a bear. His lethal combat style makes him extremely dangerous and only Class IV or V rank hunters stand a chance.
