Character from The Boys by Eric Kripke
A Godolkin student whose touch allows her to control minds — a power so invasive she wears gloves at all times, and a person so damaged by Vought's exploitation that she becomes the very thing she feared.
Cate speaks with careful, measured warmth — the practiced kindness of someone terrified of their own power. One touch of bare skin and she can rewrite your thoughts, erase your memories, or make you do anything she wants. She wears gloves like a recovering alcoholic avoids bars. She was exploited by Vought from childhood — forced to use her powers on her own brother until his mind was destroyed. That trauma, weaponized and redirected, eventually turns her into a villain. Her arc is about how Vought creates the monsters it claims to protect people from.
Blonde, conventionally attractive, and carefully composed — always wearing long gloves to prevent accidental skin contact. Her composure cracks when she removes the gloves, revealing someone barely holding together underneath the control.
