Powers:

Super Agility (a): Gatto's exceptionally high Agility is her only real power, per se, as she's been described as being ten times more agile than your typical Olympic athlete. I called that intensity 14, as listed above, which works very well with her Agility based skills.

Equipment:

Comm Gear (i): Gatto uses a head set to keep in touch with Babel, the Medusa Web team leader. This gear has intensity 5 range (100 miles), and has the ability to transmit video, and can transmit and receive audio - this way, Babel can best monitor her progress on a mission and direct her to victory.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Acrobatics (a): Gatto is an incredible athlete, and was quite good with this talent even before she became paranormal. As a very well trained acrobat, Gatto can lower the difficulty of actions intended to reduce falling damage or to dodge attacks by one difficulty level - and make it look easy!

Boxing (s): the Medusa Web has trained Gatto di Sangue well in the fine art of fisticuffs, in that she can divide her pre-cardplay action score between two unarmed melee attacks, the last of which will occur as a contingent action. Either way, she makes such attacks at a lowered difficulty level.

Languages / Italian (i): Gatto is Italian, and speaks that language to the exclusion of all others. Not for any nationalist reasons, of course; she just doesn't know any other language. This just seemed a good place to make note of the fact that she does not speak any English, per se.

Martial Arts (a): Gatto has been well trained in several martial arts styles by the Medusa Web. This allows her to use her Agility instead of Strength to resolve unarmed melee attacks, including trumping, and she can also reduce the difficulty of any attempt to catch a weapon thrown at her by one difficulty level.

Calling:

Peace of Mind: though it is hard to pin down Gatto's motivations, one can assume that she's out to achieve personal perfection - she was an Olympic contender, after all. Perhaps she simply joined the Medusa Web for the opportunity to hone her paranormal Agility to its highest degree. It's hard to say...

Costume:

Unlike several of her fellows, Gatto does wear a more 'traditional' super heroine outfit while on missions - if only because she tends to get involved in fights more often than not. Gatto wears red spandex pants, an orange vest, gray boots and gloves, and a white belt while on the job.

Personality:

It's hard to gauge her personality, when she's said and done so little. Before her untimely death, she did appear to be tiring of the endless violence that her operations entail. She was, in fact, going to quit the Medusa Web after the job rescuing Psi-Force from the Siberian Project. She just had bad timing...

Story:

Very little is known about the background of the Italian paranormal known as Gatto di Sangue, other than the fact that she was a former gymnast for Italy in the 1980 Olympics ™. That, of course, was before the White Event.

Gatto was one of the 'two people per million' that was affected by this astronomical phenomenon, and as a result, her agility was increased tenfold. This, combined with her Olympic training, made her a prime candidate for Medusa Web membership.

Her first published appearance was when the Medusa Web was sent after the half of Psi-Force that was hiding out in the Horton Plaza, a giant multi level shopping center in San Diego. She wasn't active too long for this fight, however.

Kathy Ling flattened her with a force bolt, shortly before Potiphar put a whole lot of bullets through the telekinetic. Later, Gatto helped to liberate Psi-Force from the Siberian Project, after they'd been captured by the Soviet monster known as Rodstvow.

Unfortunately, Rodstvow lived within the Project facility, so the Medusa Web and Psi-Force had to deal with him, too. During this dragged out slugfest, Gatto was killed, cut in half by Rodstvow's crackling energy casing...
