Tearing up a back is painful and immobilizing. Cheetah wanted to kill Cale slooooowly.
As I was reading, I knew there had to be something to it...something to shredding her back that way. It was the first time in a long time I thought of Cheetah as a worthy and horrible enough adversary for Diana.
It's not about 'deserve' it's about what you believe. And I believe in Love.
