Catherine Maureen Cobert is a fictional character published by DC Comics. She first appeared in Justice League International vol. 1 #8 (December, 1987), and was created by Keith Giffen, J. M. DeMatteis and Kevin Maguire.
Catherine Cobert was born into the upper crust of France. After her father, a diplomat, disappeared, Catherine quickly learned that she, along with her mother and younger brother, would have to fend for themselves. However prior to his disappearance her father had left them a significant stipend. Her mother soon followed in her husband's professional footsteps and got involved in French politics, becoming an outspoken activist against worldwide civil-rights atrocities.
Catherine was well educated throughout the world and as a result of this she became fluent in several languages. After leaving school she worked her way through college by modeling. Soon as a result of this her face began appearing on every magazine in France, most of Europe and eventually the United States of America. Around this time she developed a skill in fencing.
When she graduated from college, Catherine originally planned on helping her little brother, Marc through college himself. However he had become quite an athlete and was awarded several scholarships in that field. Since then he has now become a global adventurer, though a trifle irresponsible. He is also quite "the ladies man". After learning of this Catherine too wanted to follow the family tradition of trying to do some good for the world.
She eventually accomplished this feat by slowly and humbly working her way up in the United Nations. She was eventually promoted into a decision making capacity and kept the betterment and welfare of all peoples in the forefront of her concerns. It was at this point when Catherine's work was noticed by Maxwell Lord who was the U.N. liaison for the Justice League America.
He signed her up to become the Paris embassy chief for the Justice League Europe and was eventually promoted to JLE chief (over Captain Atom). For a time she worked with former Green Lantern Kilowog, who would repair Justice League equipment as needed. Due to the actions of the otherwise decent hero Beefeater, the J.L.E. French embassy was obliterated while otherwise empty. Cobert and the team have difficulty in the move to England.
