Cheetara is the fastest of the Thundercats. Able to move at several hundred miles per hour, she uses her lightning-quick speed to defeat her enemies before they even know what has happened. She has a staff that changes lengths at will, which she uses to make some amazing combat moves. She also has occasional premonitions which allow her to see into the future or the past. This power is very limited, however.

Although she is almost universally seen as the sex symbol of this show, there is never a suggestion of romantic involvement between her and any of the other Thundercats.
