Steven Catman

Steven R. Catman is a talking cat who rents an apartment a floor above the pawn shop. Steve is a chill feline, who spends a lot of his time lounging around Mr. Han's pawn shop and talking to strangers.

Steve seems to be very curious, as he is often poking his head around corners to see what everybody is up to, and he can often be found in areas he shouldn't be, just kind of watching. He is quite frugal and doesn't have much of a stomach for violence.

Background
It's unclear whether Steve is an actual cat who gained sentience or if he was a human who was turned into a cat. Either way, Steve is pretty mum about the whole subject.

At some point in the past, Steve signed a lease to rent out the apartment above the pawn shop owned by wizard Mr. Han, partially because Mr. Han didn't treat him poorly because he is a cat. Steve has apparently lived in the apartment for about two years and has had a few roommates, most of whom are weirded to discover he's a talking cat. He evidently tried to make it look like a very absent human lived there once, but the roommate caught him watching YouTube and promptly moved out.

At an unknown point in the past, Steve began working online, primarily by selling collector's items on eBay. He also apparently does "freelance consultant work" on the side, though this is not steady enough nor does it pay well enough to be his full-time occupation.

Secret Origins, Part 1
Steve greeted the winged vigilante Mistigan when he came to the pawn shop to speak with Mr. Han about the journal he'd found in the possession of The Moon Clan. Desperate for a roommate (rent is steep, man) he asked Mistigan if he needed a place to crash.

Later that night, Steve was present when the heroes--Leapin' Lizard, Mr. Spirals and Mistigan--came to the pawn shop after defeating the Moon Clan at the San Francisco docks. Steve watched the group with curiosity and talked to the group, making friends with Mr. Spirals, who he offered his couch to when the group was waiting for Mr. Han to return.

Steve watched the torture with horrified curiosity, running away after Mr. Han noticed him.

Steven was also present when the heroes re-grouped after Lizard's meeting with the Tribe, where they discovered the name of the serial killer supervillain they were searching for. Steve agreed with Mr. Spirals' decision to walk away from the case.
