Catseye (Sharon Smith) is a fictional character who first appeared in American comic books published by Marvel Comics created by Chris Claremont and Sal Buscema appearing in The New Mutants #16-17 (June–July 1984). She was a member of the original Hellions recruited by Emma Frost to be a competitive team to the X-Men's New Mutants and a tool for the Hellfire Club. Her character was the antithesis of Wolfsbane who could transform into a wolf. Catseye engaged in several battles with the New Mutants— mostly petty competition— but occasionally got along with the students, sometimes having dances to socialize. Her personality was that of a free spirit. Catseye's youth and comparative lack of sophistication belie a ferocious intelligence. She has a photographic memory and instinctively knows when she is being lied to. Under Frost's tutelage, Smith progressed from total illiteracy to upper grade school reading levels in less than a year. She still retained several feline qualities while in human form, having been forced to provide for herself since earliest infancy. Notably, she kept her tail in many instances. Upon her first meeting with Wolfsbane, rather than attack out of an animalistic nature, she smelled Rahne Sinclair and said that as shapechangers, the two of them shared a kindred spirit and that they should be friends— this in spite of the obviously played feline/canine feuding roles.
