History

Karl Kyle was the brother of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. He decided to adopt his own criminal identity as "The King of the Cats" after being inspired by his sister's amazing crimes. However, Selina had already left her criminal life behind and she tried to talk Karl out of his life of crime, but he didn't listen. It wasn't until he was confronted by Batman and later saved by her sister, that he understood that crime doesn't pay and he reformed.
