Description
Another superhero profile!
Wealthy heiress and co-owner of the multimillion-dollar company, Wilde-Rose Industries, Rebecca "Becky" Wilde is generally accepted to be the less involved in the business; where her partner Alexandra Rose is a shrewd businesswoman and very involved in the day-to-day running of the company, Rebecca is the socialite and woman-about-town; charming and generous, and an active donator to various charities, but not particularly shrewd or good with business.
Of course, when duty calls, she changes into her special supersuit to become Ermine, the vigilante superheroine. As Ermine, Becky displays how competent and intelligent she really is; she has a sharp mind and a keen sense of justice, and always seems to be doing at least two things at the same time without losing her generally laid-back attitude.
Her suit, designed and largely created by her adoptive daughter Maya, is a technical marvel which not only grants her enhanced senses and extra strength/speed, is also prepared with a solution that makes it hard to grasp and almost impossible for anything to stick to it; ropes and tracers just slide off it -- and as a bonus, so does dirt, meaning that the suit is always shiny white. And in the times when white is just too visible and more stealth is required, it also has a handy camouflage mode.
Despite not having any actual superpowers beyond what her suit grants her, and various high-tech gadgets hidden in her trusty utility belt, Ermine has been in the game, and managed to stay on top, for long enough that she's considered one of the veteran heroes. She's served as mentor to many a young metahuman, and has a vast network of contacts and friends in the metahuman community.Β

Wouldn't be much good otherwise, even if that is more feline than ermine.

I can see the Batman parallel, but where does Black Panther come in?

Becky/Ermine is very interesting -- I suppose her suit would make her difficult to chloroform, but I would love to see her fall into a trap involving sleep gasΒ Β Β Β

She has emergency breathing filters in her belt. ^_^ Unlike a lot of other heroines, Ermine doesn't go down that easily. You want her unconscious, you have to EARN it. Sleep gas traps are much too easy.

The resourceful heroines are the ones that really make satisfying scenes when they are ultimately subjected to peril.Β Β Β

Just saying. This one ain't going down easy. ^_^
I've always found it kind of laughable when seeing online fetish comics where supposedly tough heroines, particularly superheroines, get taken out in one panel, by some thug with a chloroform rag, or falling for a trap that a six year old should have spotted. It's okay if the heroines are meant to be young or inexperienced or just not very good (or playing along for some reason),Β or it's a way of showing a seriously overpowered villain... but I see far too many generic thugs who take down Wonder Woman-level heroines with a simple chloroform bottle. And then the thug says something like "that was easier than I thought" or some derogatory remark about how the bitch has been taught her place.
So I've decided that in my stories I'm definitely not going to do that. ^_^

You are 100% correct -- In the 1970's Wonder Woman show, Wonder Woman and her similarly super-powered teenage sister are easily chloroformed on multiple occasions.Β On one episode some thugs tried to chloroform a non-super-powered male soldier, but the soldier was able to fight them off and not succumb to unconsciousness.
I love your characters and ideas and look forward to seeing your future creations.Β Β Β Β

I'm just going to not have any thugs. ^_^

You can have thugs -- Just make it so Ermine puts them all out of commission.Β Β
