History

Origin

Anaïs was the exiled queen of a lost cat civilization in the Sahara and the last survivor of the Saharan Cat People.

Les Heroes de Paris & The Thing

Anaïs' appearance as member of Les Héros de Paris

She was part of Les Heroes de Paris, a French super-team operating in Paris.

To defeat the L'Empereur du Monde Souterrain, they recruited the Thing when this one had decided to leave his country to avoid involving himself in the Civil War.

Later, Anaïs and the Thing followed the trail on an Hydra base on Docteur Q's intel. After a quick battle, the terrorists were taken into custody by French Police officers.

She had a crush of The Thing, even if this one had already a girl-friend in the U.S.A..

Le Bureau Discret & X-Force

Anaïs was next being seen chased on the rooftops of Montmartre by X-Force member Fantomex in hopes of drawing out the other remaining Le Bureau Discret members. As Anaïs used her incredible cat-like speed pouncing from roof to roof, MeMe managed to land a liquid tracer on her back so Cable could shoot her with a suspended animation bullet to simulate symptoms of death.

Waiting in the shadows, the members of Le Bureau Discret did come to find Anaïs's body in an alleyway. With the help of Le Necrogateur who can read the last thoughts of the deceased, as they tried to patch together what happened, they were ambushed by X-Force, with Fantomex taking out most of the group in order to capture Le Necro. They then teleported out with Anaïs still rendered unconscious.

At some point, Les Héros de Paris vanished, leaving Paris low on super heroes and vulnerable.
