A product of Crey Industries’ illegal research, Mynx is a feline heroine who spends as much energy battling her own animalistic nature as she does fighting crime. Under the watchful eye of Synapse, she now provides training to Paragon City’s heroes.

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 identity Mynx, 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.”

 

This heroine’s name is alternately reported as “Minx” and “Mynx,” but in-game appears as the latter. Her real surname is either “Stevens” or “Steffan.”
