As a teenager, Cathy Jones was raped by a neighborhood thug. Though she was a very physically overdeveloped girl at an early age, she was still just a girl and did not fully understand what happened to her, but she swore that she would never be taken advantage of or abused by a man again. Vigorous training in boxing, Chinese and Japanese martial arts, and street fighting while a member of an all female gang toughened her to a high degree. Weight training, supplements and steroids hardened her voluptuous body to above average Olympic athlete levels. She now patrols her neighborhood streets as Basher, handing out vigilante justice to any known male thugs while encouraging women and young girls to train in self defense and teaching classes when time allows her.
