Background

History

Katherine Stevens was a young girl in the wrong place at the wrong time. While attending Paragon City University, she volunteered for a Crey research project. When the Crey research scientists realized that she had no family and few friends, they decided to try some of their more dangerous procedures on her. A volatile serum transformed Katherine and gave her some feline features and characteristics. Crey considered the result a failure because Katherine could not be controlled. She managed to break free of her captors, scarring the face of one of Crey's top scientists horribly with her claws.

Adopting the Mynx identity, Katherine lived on the streets of Paragon City for a time. She got involved in petty crimes to keep herself alive. Synapse discovered her there and helped her develop control of her heightened reflexes and her animalistic nature. She is still undisciplined and prone to overconfidence, but is fiercely loyal to Synapse and grateful for the second chance he has given her.

• Her Praetorian Earth counterpart is Bobcat.
• She is mentioned in the description of the Nimble Mynx exploration badge.
• She was originally referred to as "Minx" (with an I instead of a Y). The designers still often refer to her with that spelling, though the in-game spelling of her name is clearly "Mynx."[1]
• Her real name is sometimes found as Katherine Steffan, but more sources show it as Katherine Stevens.
• Her secondary power set was originally given as Super Reflexes, but has been corrected by the designers as Regeneration.[2] However, this has not been reflected in the game yet, as her secondary powers are still from Super Reflexes.
