fingernails. She was also superhumanly strong and could see in the dark almost as well as during the day. At first, Carol just used her powers for her own amusement. However, when she heard her roommate Gene Jones (called GJ or Dži-Džej in Serbian transliteration) being attacked outside their apartment building, she jumped to her defense and drove the attackers off. Carol enjoyed the experience and decided to create a costumed identity. Carol "borrowed" some special fabric, woven from metal, to create her mask, gloves and boots, from the Gray's Institute. There was insufficient fabric to create a complete costume, so Carol used a black bikini Gene had given her (but she had never dared to wear) and fishnet pantyhose. The ordinary fabric of the bikini and hose got torn up and had to be replaced after every fight. Later, Carol adopted a black leotard and black leather jacket to replace the bikini. Cat Claw went on to battle ordinary criminals and her own rogues gallery: Xtremity (aka Renata Roseblood), Berthold Schwartzenberger (aka Catminator and, later, Grgur the Monster), Dr. Sigismund Morse (Grgur's creator), Dr. Bruce Baker (who also turns into a monster), Ninja Deathbringer, and the Helloweeners. TV film In 1992, as part of a Radio Television of Serbia show about Bane Kerac, a short film based on Cat Claw, City Cat, was recorded. The film was directed by Miša Milošević, and featured actress Daniella Peyich as Carol and Kerac himself as policeman Cameron Hill.
