Enter the junior Trooper, not to mention the fourth one in the team. Chita Comett’s dream has become a reality as she has gone virtual! Tyler Steele has invented a couple new suits, her VR armor’s to the left, while her Battle Grid armor’s to the right. Although she’s a beginner and she’s not too good in combat, she does make up with her greatest strengths, her speed and agility. Also, she happens to be a huge fan of cheetahs, and they’re built with their own natural capabilities.
Such weapons include:
Setae - enables her to scale the toughest surfaces.
Cat Claw - provides her with sharp claws used for close combat, and not just her arm and leg blades.
Cheetah Roar - stuns enemies in the vicinity of her ear-piercing screech.
Super Speed - enables her to run up to 60 mph within three seconds. She can also run faster if on all fours, though she must be conservative as she could get tired out during its duration.
Her built-in weapons include her tail capable of balance and whipping her foes, as well as her arm and leg blades. She can also either hold her own as a bipedal or quadrupedal.

Occupation: Junior Trooper, Recruiter of the Mutant League players
Appearance: We are VR Troopers!
Best Friends: Ryan, Kaitlin, J.B., Jeb, Prof. Hart, Tyler, Tao, Dr. Poindexter, Razor Kidd, Blood Clot, Snake, Mo and Spew Puke, The General (coach), Ling, Taylor and Suri, Katie and Jerome, Jeb Jr.
It all started when she decided to join the Junior Division in Tao’s Dojo, the most renowned karate gym in Cross World City; however, she had a very rough start as Ryan noticed that her balance and even her posture seemed rather awkward. It was later realized that she was born prematurely, hence her petite structure and poorly developed gait. She was also not really the strongest link, nor very coordinated. Her performance was sub-par at best, though her only saving grace was her agility. Despite these shortcomings, she does look up to him the most.
Later on, Chita eavesdropped on the guys as they returned after an exhausting fight against Grimlord and his armies that they mentioned of mutants who happened to be football players. It was then that Chita knew exactly who the Troopers were referring to: the Mutant League Football players! While it seemed unorthodox, she demonstrated them via a Sega game in which they saw their exact virtual replicas, but in pixel form. From there, they volunteered Chita to visit the lab and seek them out in virtual reality. They were found fighting off the evil forces, and it was the first time they ever met real, intact humans; they began to reluctantly accept them in time. And the trio couldn’t thank Chita enough of her encounter as the mutants decided to assist the Troopers, as three mere humans against one whole metallic army would be obscene from the teams’ observations. Chita had been desperately wanting to make a difference since she wasn’t built as a fighter, and for once she actually did when she introduced them to the mutated group; she had been their close real-world guide ever since, including introducing them to Christmas traditions.
Before the VR War, she was able to stand up for herself against a single Skug, and she later received her own virtual powers from Tyler. In it, it had characteristics to a cheetah, her favorite animal, including her own yellow Virtualizer. She has yet to use her awesome animalistic abilities as her long-awaited desire to become the fourth Trooper is about to come into fruition. She did and she went with Tyler and their fellow Mutants through the reality barrier. She was actually used as a decoy along with the teams’ super speed to distract Air Stryker and Fighterbot while their best kickers destroyed them with their wired footballs. Later on, she was ambushed by Doom Master, then drowned until her setae saved her life without using a command. She and Tyler returned safely, though the battle was far from over.
Soon afterwards, Prof. Hart and his lab were crumbling to dust when Gen. Ivar and Col. Icebot led the invasion. Unlike Ryan and Tyler, she didn’t have much time to mourn for their loss; before they got to the ruins the latter gave her an assignment to infiltrate Ziktor Industries along with a few Mutants and bring Galileo to Tao for safety reasons.
Chita, along with the Alien, Gangrene, and the Skeleton, Bones Jackson, went to it and made it to the top floor with little incident. They gazed upon the source of Grimlord’s power, the green crystal prism, and Gangrene was electrocuted upon contact. The ruckus was enough to bring in his secretaries which the heroes fought as they turned into Skugs. As one was about to abduct her, she let out her sporadic powers again, and this time she made a deafening screech which disoriented her enemies, allowing the Mutants to finish the job. Her Roar Command really saved their hides from the Ultra Skugs, and then J.B. advised her to use Galileo to drain its essence; it was like the same way that Grimlord did to assimilate Tyler’s VR knowledge, only the opposite as it’s downloaded to the robot. Chita and the Mutants eagerly awaited before the prism would be nothing but an empty shell.
After about an hour went by, Galileo was successful. Chita then warped everyone to the Void Club/Indigo Sector and gave the command to fire upon the Dark Fortress while Ryan was dealing with Grimlord. The new technology was able to override and overload the shields, rendering it easier to destroy with the Aliens’ saucers and the Blue Hawk. They then went back to reality and the Mutants loaded up the grenades. While Ziktor’s office exploded, they managed to take away the iguana and had the idea making it Tao’s new pet. She and Galileo were later picked up by him and Jeb, while Gangrene and Bones Jackson left. It was then that he revealed his speculation that the guys were the VR Troopers all this time since he knew they had pure hearts and made some valiant deeds; he actually found out after Tyler was taken into his secret chamber, as well as telling him that his instincts were true. They soon arrived at the Dojo where J.B. stripped from his VR powers was waiting.
They all witnessed the triumphant final defeat over Grimlord and the Mutants regained their lost humanity. However, Ryan was still recovering from his personal demons and met Ling Yu, his caretaker. She grew attached to her, especially when she was responsible for saving her mentor’s life.
15 years later, she moved back to Cross World City from Hill Valley and was living in an assisted living apartment for the handicapped. She eventually went back to Tao’s Dojo which had expanded after the owner’s sudden passing, and Ryan and Tyler were able to run it. She met up with him and they chatted about their past, including the fact that her parents divorced, and began living with her dad, kind of like Ryan and Tyler. She later met his kids, and she later became a sort of mentor for the next generation of the VR Troopers.
Trivia[]
- Chita Comett was a concept name made by Ikran since she was a kid; she made a self-inserted character named Chita, and Ryan had the nickname Comet. Didn't work well, but she didn't want to give up the concept. She still loves cheetahs, hence the name on combining these ideas, Chita Comett. And her virtual armor has similar skills to the cheetah such as speed, setae for climbing, her tail as an appendage, and blending into the environment. As a kid, in the time of making it, her ideal actress was Oona Yaffe, the girl who played Molly Thomas in Sleepy Hollow Season 4.
- Her move in which she screams and disorients her enemies was inspired by Banshee from X-Men: First Class, and Simba from the Korean ripoff of Lion King and the Jungle Book. Getting into the virtual world and meeting the Mutants could be similar to Tron.
- Much like Ikran, Chita idolizes Ryan Steele, the author's first crush!
- Her age was based on the same ages on when Ikran encountered VR Troopers.
- Her move to Hill Valley was an idea inspired from Back to the Future; after all, that and Cross World City were fictional locations in California.
- Her moving into a handicapped apartment was one of Ikran's fantasies on what she wanted to do. Chita's parents were divorced as Ikran wanted to leave her stepmom which later happened on Fall 2019!
