How much would it cost to develop an app like Amazon Alexa

Voice aides have turned into a significant piece of regular daily existence for some individuals. It has started overtaking traditional internet search. On the off chance that individuals need to find any data, they basically shoot a voice order and get list items in the blink of an eye. This degree of comfort is drawing in individuals to attempt voice collaborator applications like Siri, Alexa, Google Colleague, and so on. According to the survey, voice searches will account for 50% of all searches by 2020. Organizations are putting resources into voice aide application advancement to further develop client experience

What is voice assistant app

By and large, a voice assistant application answers voice orders and gives clients exact data about their inquiries.

What technologies are used in Mobile Assistants?

Speech to text (STT) engine: In this, the user’s voice is converted into text. The voice might be of clients or any arbitrary brief snippet.

Text to discourse (TTS) motor: This motor can change text over completely to discourse, and it is exceptionally helpful when the client is involved in another work.

Tagging: With this, the voice partner can comprehend what the client is attempting to say.

Sound decrease engine: This motor guides in offsetting the outside climate commotion. If not, there will be an excessive number of improvements that an application should process.

Voice biometrics: This confirmation interaction helps an application to comprehend that it is especially your voice.

UI: it involves two sections, the voice, and the call out. Users can hear the answers to their questions in the voice part, and callouts are where they can see the results on the screen.

Speech compression motor: This can pack the voice of the clients so it can arrive at the server quicker.

How to make a voice partner application like Alexa

There are mainly three methods that mobile app development companies deploy for building a voice assistant app- Junior method, which involves the integration of voice assistant technology to a mobile app using APIs. You can likewise attempt the center strategy, where you can fabricate a voice right hand utilizing open source administrations and APIs.

Junior method

This technique includes the combination of confided in innovation inside a current application. For this purpose, you need to get a kit and then integrate it within an app. The unit is utilized to characterize the plans as kinds of solicitations, and afterward explains the sorts and you need to bunch it into spaces. This is the way the lesser strategy works.

Middle method

This technique is reasonable for the people who know about AI. In addition to web and mobile services, you can develop an AI assistant app with a few tools:

Melissa: An incredible device for those are new to building voice colleague applications. It has the capacity of talking, taking notes, and perusing the news.

Jasper: A famous open-source stage is utilized for making voice-controlled applications. This device can tune in and learn. The great part is that it can follow clients' propensities quietly and gives you exact data on time.

Api.ai: It provides a complete range of features for making virtual assistant app development simpler. Alongside that, it upholds voice-to-message transformation with the execution of an important arrangement of undertakings.

Senior method

This technique is suggested for no-nonsense engineers who have related knowledge in creating AI applications without any preparation.

Google's Tensorflow: This open-source programming library has an adaptable construction. It tends to be utilized on various servers, cell phones, and so forth. You can use it easily as it is flexible and portable.

How much does voice assistant app development cost?

The improvement cost relies upon the intricacy and the quantity of highlights that you need to add in your application. For building an app like Alexa, it would cost around $15,000-$50,000.

Protected to specify voice collaborator applications like Alexa have turned into a fundamental piece of our everyday lives. It is used in different circles from medical services to coordinated factors and organizations are making the most out of it. Although it may appear simple to replicate an idea for a voice assistant application, developing something entirely new is a challenging process. On the off chance that you follow the above-framed advances, it would be feasible to construct an application like Alexa.

well it was supposed to be FCBD (yes i know “postponed”), and it’s been a terrible day thus far, so how’s about my plot outline/list for what was going to happen in Superverse before it went on hiatus...because at this point it would either be another time skip past all/most of this or a full on hard reboot if we went back to it at this point

to start off, the STT was going to continue with Chloe struggling to be leader since Tim’s around, and everyone keeps going to him a bit more than her...well half of everyone. it culminates with Time leaving to  go restart the Power pals, since well, he’s nearing 20 at this point. and the STT was getting quite a large roster, so the older members went with him, while the younger stayed and Chloe once again could be the leader.

Kevin would’ve met Junior at some point (because who doesn’t like amophus daemons). Trudy also got herself a girlfriend in the form of Susan C. Anthony, a bank heiress, who does not have powers.

Tootie was going to eventually come back (idk when or how) as Shadow Stalker. again, her return was farther down the line, so i don’t have the details that well ironed out...

Chester had already left Star Investigations because Mari had called him to a reading of Catman’s will. he did indeed inherit half of West Industries, as the young Adam was posing as a long lost son and thus was legally entitled to half the company too. Chester took over as Catman, while Mari stayed on to help Adam deal with the company. Chester would join Tim’s new Power Pals, thus finally fixing their broken friendship.

Trixie and Trini were going to head to Glamazon Island after they defeated Hair Razor. Trini’s lasso was destroyed in the fight, so they figured maybe she could use this reality’s lasso. Trixie’s powers were also starting to flare up, so they were also hoping to get some answers to that. once there they get to see that Goldenlocks has had her son, and they get to meet Hermia (whom Dwight was dropping off). they both end up going through a mystical trial of sorts that ended with Trini not getting the golden lasso of this universe, but her own silver one forged for her; Trixie on the other hand gets flashes of Cel’rey and Trisha, and the mystical voices tell her that she needs to go to England, leading into a Star/Sonic crossover event

over with Sonic and Paladin, it’s business as usual. however, CHATTY is starting to get hyper aggressive since Sanjay and Francis are starting to renew their romance.the team has to take her out, but in the ensuing battle their complex looses power for some time. this leads to 1) Sanjay learning that Britannia has blackmail over every member of Paladin and 2) it jump starts Molly out of her coma. Molly goes full Phoenix force though, as she absorbed the Light from Trixie at the end of Civil War (thus leading to her coma). this is when Trixie and Trini arrive more or less, so they help Paladin wrangle Molly back in and Trixie is able to reabsorb the Light, getting her powers back, and becoming Star-Gal once more. this also leaves Molly awake and permanently able to fly.

it would soon become revealed that BRAT, headed by Doombringer (the life hopping sorceress from King Arthur’s time), had been bankrolling Paladin (she also had a hand in funding Shallowgrave’s Civil War, and had the Summers killed, among other things). how is it revealed? because Crimson Lightning comes back into play once Sanjay and Francis are together again as the annoying jealous ex that he is. they manage to get him under control thanks to Molly’s help, but Alyssa ends up with the demon sword, becoming the Black Knight.

Trini goes and joins Tim’s Power Pals, while Trixie gets called back into space. First she finds and frees Hawkgal, then the two go out into space. Remember the ice guy Star Investigations helped out? well he sends a distress call to Trixie; her mentor Killgala is back some how...and the Darkness is also en-couching. Mark and Starfury also join up with them, ad they would in time find a version of Crash Nebula. the whole Light/Darkness mythos was also better explained, about how at the time of creation the cosmos split, thus leading to the Darkness and the Light; both energies became corrupted in different ways (the Light Corp imprisoning and using the Light, the Darkness going power hungry and creating the Eliminator drones, etc) and only by genuinely reuniting them could there be balance or something. that’s all cosmic stuff that i hadn’t fully fleshed out, since we needed to get past the Cosmic Cat stuff...

of course one minor subplot; Hermia would use Trixie and Trini’s existence as an excuse to escape Glamazon Island, claiming to go back to the mainland to go live with them, only to instead go shack up with Liam (the young Wet Willie). Trini, since she joins the Power pals, is the one to find that out, and gets royally peeved. but Hermia eventually takes over her spot on the team.

over in Eraserz, the team was going to get stuck going on a World Tour, being cut off from the Nexxus because some force was screwing up the multiverse. they would end up in a Mojoverse-like setting where they’d meet a half-editor entity (i forget who it was, might’ve been the April Fool or Puck). they’d pick up some temporary members, like the Franklin West Catman (who ends up staying in his reality), Charlie Hampton, the young Crimson Chin (who ends up on an alternate earth where the Power pals and STT had tehir age roles reversed, but there was no Chin, so he stays with that earth’s teenage Goldie) and some more permanent ones like RJ; specifically when they recruit RJ, Shirely stayed out of the Primeverse to do so (this was plot important) but so did Tony because he didn’t wanna risk running into Trini; RJ was recruited BEFORE Trini joined the Power Pals though. Tony would end up going missing while the team was hunting for an entity that was killing off alternate Trixie tangs, so they called in Trini to rejoin the team. somewhere along the line, RJ got stuck in a time displacement, and wound up on Earth 0 (the world that Shirely was exiled to) in the past; see, since RJ joined up, Shirely had been half avoiding, half flirting with him, and he was just starting to come around to it, but now he understood why, because from Shirely’s perspective they'd already dated. so RJ spends time with the past Shirely, is the one that convinces him not to be a prick and help the Eraserz when they come to him to take down Dark magician and co, and he ends up going back to his proper time, and the two of them pick back up tehir relationship where it left off. (this is all every important because as it would be revealed, Shirley and RJ are actually Tru Turner/Double T/FTT’s Masked Magician’s parents. Tim and Toot adopted her to keep her safe. that’s why she has such cosmic power, because she’s half Editor).

we were also going to learn more about Maggie’s backstory, since on the surface she seems like the only Eraserz member without a horrible tragic backstory, but as the plot progressed we’d keep getting hints to something. yeah, she has a Winter Solider!Kevin on her earth, and she kinda had to kill her cousin to save lives. but turns out she didn’t really kill him or something, because they end up on her world at some point and find out that she was manipulated to think she had?? something like that...i also had no intention to ever bring Kore back, so yeah, he’s dead-dead.

anyways, the Trixie hunting entity; that’s the Dark Star-Gal from that one special. she’s the Trixie that merged with the Darkness (since the Darkness wants to consume the Light, that we know she was the vessel for) and became self aware of the multiverse and started reality hopping to consume all Trixies. the Eraserz stop her...only to discover that the reason that Dark Star became aware of the multiverse was because the Showrunner gave her access...the Showrunner  that has been MIA since the Eliminatorz were stopped.

 the Showrunner was the one now causing the multiverse to start collapsing and breaking down because, to him, “this isn’t what the universe was supposed to be like”. he created one canon, and then another entity (the fandom) came in and started breaking it up, making spin offs, AUs, different versions, creating the multiverse. so he broke that entity up into pieces and scattered them across the multiverse, then created the Editors to police the multiverse to make sure the pieces couldn’t get back together (thus the universe rule of only 1 version of a person can exits there at a time) and slowly try to correct and remove the “wrong” universes. but the Editors grew out of his control as they evolved, so he created the Eraserz to, well, “erase’ the mistakes. but even they went against his plans, so he decided to just leave and just erase everything. but the pieces of the greater entity did find a way to come together, (a fragment of?) Omegus managed to hitch a ride with RJ when the Eraserz recruited him. Omegus then overtook Tony who bore the mark of Beteal, who went to Dark Magician to take the powers that Anosmotic, aka Zethran, had given him away, undoubtedly found a way to the Nega-verse to confront Alphane, and so on and so forth (if you hadn’t noticed, each reality that had an Omegus equivalent had a different name, and now you know why)...until all the pieces could be reunited, possibly in the body of CoT!Saber actually, into one being called Omnicron.

and the final confrontation of the Showrunner and Omnicron would be in the vast void as the multiverse was set on pause as it crumbled. the Showrunner claiming that Omnicron had destroyed the thing he had created, only for Omnicron to be all “i saw what you created and wanted to create my own. you helped me flourish, and then i helped others flourish. how can growth and creativity be the wrong thing to do?” because no, Omnicron did not destroy the multiverse, it was indeed the Showrunner; Omnicron took what the Showrunner had made and let it flourish on its own, while he just tried to contain it back into what he made it to be to begin with.

and so yeah, that’s what i had planned for Superverse. some thing were far more fleshed out than others, but those were the parts i’d had planned for YEARS. i had the Omnicron stuff planned before Civil War, while the Cosmic Cat i had planned since Civil War

"Enormous demand" for NATO debate among Finnish Greens: party chair

The Finnish Green League, junior partner in Finland's current coalition government, will update its political programme in spring 2022, which will provide an opportunity to change the party's position on possible membership of NATO, the Finnish News Agency STT reports. The party's acting chairwoman, Iiris Suomela, says Green voters are really taking "a lot of interest" in the NATO debate. There is "enormous demand" for such a discussion, and it is good that the party's leading politicians are pushing the debate, Suomela says. However, "discretion and patience" were key, she added. The party's current position is neither for nor against membership. Earlier, Atte Harjanne, chairman of the Green group in the Finnish parliament, and Green MEP Alviina Alametsä announced their support for full membership, while former party chairman, MEP Ville Niinistö, said he was now open to membership.

Boys talk about boys

Jesse Puljujärvi, Patrik Laine and Sebastian Aho formed a magical line that led Team Finland to gold medals in the World Juniors 2016.

Now the trio skates each for their respective NHL teams but keep an eye on each other.

Puljujärvi (MVP of WJC 106) on Laine and Aho:

“Yeah, I follow how they’re doing. They’ve been great and I could expect something like this. I’ve always known that they are world class, top players.”

Puljujärvi confirms that Laine is very competitive and always wants to be the best. Aho, he says, is “the greatest guy ever, humble and wise.”

Laine (top goalscorer of WJC 2016) on Puljujärvi and Aho:

“I watch their games sometimes and check how they’re doing. It’s been great to see them do so well.”

Laine thinks that Puljujärvi had a harder time coming into the season after the rocky times last year. But whenever he gets real minutes with good players, his game has looked good.

“When he gets himself in the right spot with the right guys, he’s gonna have his breakthrough. Aho is even better than last year.”

Aho (second in points of WJC 2016) on Laine and Puljujärvi:

“The chemistry in our line was there right from the start. They’re both top players and both were already hot.”

Aho checks the results of other Finns every morning. He’s especially interested to see if Laine or Puljujärvi have gained more points.

“Pate scores every night. His shot is just ridiculous.”

Puljujärvi’s stats this season don’t look as good but Aho thinks better times are ahead.

“The positive about my own season is that with Teukka (Teuvo Teräväinen)  we’ve found each other well and been able to get some points. But we should have won more.”

(The leading Finnish news agency STT interviewed the three young players asking if they’d like to play in the same line again. The story was on most newspapers on March 29th 2018, my link is to Pohjalainen).

Indy Dontje will ersten Podestplatz in der “Liga der Supersportwagen”

Renger van der Zande und Nicky Catsburg unterstützen Titelkandidaten

SPORT1 überträgt beide Rennen live und in voller Länge

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

München. Mit Indy Dontje (24/NL, Mercedes-AMG Team HTP Motorsport), Nicky Catsburg (29/NL, BMW Team Schnitzer) und Renger van der Zande (31/NL, Callaway Competition) starten drei Lokalmatadore an diesem Wochenende in Zandvoort im ADAC GT Masters. Die drei Niederländer haben sich für den vierten Lauf der “Liga der Supersportwagen” viel vorgenommen. Die beiden Rennen auf dem Dünenkurs werden am Samstag (ab 13.30 Uhr) und am Sonntag (ab 13.00 Uhr) bei SPORT1 live und in voller Länge übertragen. Online sind die Rennen im Livestream unter adac.de/motorsport und sport1.de zu sehen.

Dontje bestreitet in diesem Jahr seine erste Saison in der “Liga der Supersportwagen”. Sein bisher bestes Rennergebnis ist ein vierter Platz im knallgelben Mercedes-AMG GT3, den er sich mit Marvin Kirchhöfer (23/Markkleeberg) teilt. Ebenso wie der Deutsche kommt Dontje aus der ADAC Formelschule und gewann Rennen im ADAC Formel Masters. “Ich bin mit dem bisherigen Saisonverlauf ganz zufrieden”, so der Niederländer. “Marvin und ich haben gezeigt, dass wir schnell sind. Leider haben kleine Fehler und etwas Pech bisher einen Podestplatz verhindert. Es wäre natürlich toll, wenn mir dies in Zandvoort gelingen würde. Der Kurs wurde für 2017 fast komplett neu asphaltiert. Nur die letzte Kurve ist so geblieben. Mal sehen, wie sich das auswirkt. Aber eigentlich sollte der Kurs dem Mercedes-AMG liegen.” Das vierte von sieben Rennwochenenden des ADAC GT Masters kann er kaum erwarten: “Ich freue mich auf mein Heimspiel, auch weil es eine wirklich coole Strecke ist. Es gibt sehr viele schnelle und teilweise auch blinde Kurven und nur eine relativ kurze Gerade. Nur an wenigen Stellen kann man sich daher etwas ausruhen. Ich kenne Zandvoort sehr gut, da ich dort schon oft als Instruktor gearbeitet habe.”

Dontje wird am Wochenende von seiner rennsportverrückten Familie unterstützt: “Mein Bruder Milan startet in diesem Jahr im Audi Sport TT Cup und mein Vater fuhr selbst Kartrennen. Er ist ein großer Fan der 500 Meilen von Indianapolis. Deshalb habe ich den Namen ‘Indy’ bekommen. Seine erste Idee war ‘Enzo’, aber das fand meine Mutter nicht so gut.” Abseits der Rennwochenenden ist Dontje viel beschäftigt. Im rund 45 Minuten von Zandvoort entfernten Lelystad betreibt er eine Kartbahn und ein Fahrsicherheitszentrum: “Dort kümmere ich mich auch um den Rennsportnachwuchs und gebe Kurse für junge Kartpiloten.”

Anders als Dontje bestreiten seine Landsleute van der Zande und Catsburg nicht die komplette Saison des ADAC GT Masters, sondern vertreten auf dem Dünenkurs zwei Stammpiloten. Van der Zande springt bei Callaway Competition für Tabellenführer Daniel Keilwitz (27/Villingen) ein, der nach einem Unterschenkelbruch pausieren muss. Der ehemalige DTM-Pilot teilt sich die Corvette C7 mit Jules Gounon (22/F). “Ich werde mein Bestes geben und werde Jules helfen, die Tabellenspitze zu verteidigen”, so der in Amsterdam lebende van der Zande, der 2014 und 2015 auf dem Nürburgring insgesamt vier Rennen im ADAC GT Masters bestritt und dabei einen Podestplatz einfuhr.

Nicky Catsburg startet in Zandvoort im BMW M6 des BMW Team Schnitzer an der Seite des Tabellenzweiten Philipp Eng (27/A). Der eigentliche Teamkollege des Österreichers, der BMW-Junior Ricky Collard (20/GB), wird am Wochenende bei der DTM in Moskau vor Ort sein, um im Rahmen seiner Ausbildung Einblicke in die Abläufe eines DTM-Wochenendes zu erhalten. Gleichzeitig bekommt er die Gelegenheit, das BMW-DTM-Renntaxi zu fahren. Catsburg absolvierte bisher zwei Rennen im ADAC GT Masters: 2015 startete er ebenfalls in Zandvoort, damals jedoch in einem Lamborghini Gallardo, und wurde einmal Zweiter.

Zandvoort ist übrigens ein gutes Pflaster für Lokalmatadore: Mit Jaap van Lagen (zwei Siege) sowie Jeroen den Boer und Simon Knap gewannen bereits drei Niederländer Rennen der “Liga der Supersportwagen” auf dem Dünenkurs. Und mit DB Motorsport war dort bereits ein niederländisches Team siegreich.

Für die Zuschauer gibt es vor Ort eine ganz besondere Aktion: Sie können das Rennwochenende auf dem Circuit Zandvoort, bei dem außerdem die ADAC TCR Germany, die Spezial Tourenwagen Trophy (STT) und der Renault Clio Cup Central Europe antreten, auf den Stehplätzen in den Dünen rund um die Strecke gratis verfolgen. Mehr Informationen gibt es unter: www.circuitzandvoort.nl/en/events/adac-gt-masters#event-tab-gratis-tickets. Karten für das Fahrerlager und für die Tribünen können im offiziellen Ticket-Shop des ADAC GT Masters unter adac.de/motorsport bestellt werden und sind an der Tageskasse erhältlich.

The Catman, Adam West

Adam West was born to a family of wealthy philanthropists who advocated for nature conservation and animal protection above all else. He lost his parents at a young age, and grew up under the care of his estranged uncle while his family’s fortune and charities were put in a trust and overseen by his father’s business partner. Once he came of age, he returned to take control of his family’s inheritance, but the trustee tried to fight him upon his claims, ultimately loosing that legal battle. Meanwhile, as he grew up with his uncle, he was trained in all sorts of skills that would eventually aid him in being the vigilante Catman. (What exactly those skills were though vary depending upon writers)

While he was establishing his civilian identity, Adam took the mantle of Catman, to track down an exotic animal smuggler that had actually brought him back to his hometown of Maudison. His infamy as “the Cat” soon spread amongst the criminal underground, and thus he became the protector of the city as new criminals started to crop up, seemingly following his lead. Villains like Dogman, Mouse Man, The Don, and Kanary are just to name a few. He didn’t just stop criminals, he also tried to help people. He met Marisol Wright, a young mutant who called herself Copy Cat, and talked her out of being a thief to instead work with him to stop criminals; he even tried on several occasions to reform the bird themed villainess Kanary (leaving her ultimate allegiances questionable and morally gray). Copy Cat eventually was hurt in one of the duo’s fights against Dogman, and woke up with partial amnesia, so Adam decided to not tell her about their crime fighting and instead let her go of to live a normal life.

He then met a teenage foster girl named Mara Ventura, who took it upon herself to create her own Catgirl persona to try to fight against the drug dealers in her neighborhood because she felt like “the Cat don’t care about the streets anymore”. Fearing she’d wind up just getting herself nearly killed like Marisol, Adam first tried to dissuade Mara from getting into this line of crime fighting, but in the end she convinced him to train her to be a better crime fighter. The two of them worked as a good team until Mara, faced with the truth of her own past after nearly dying when the duo fought against a resurrected Doberman of Doom who had become the avatar of Anubis, decided to go off and find herself with the collective of Cat Warriors, leaving Adam alone once again.

Unfortunately that left Adam alone when the Power Pals fell. He was an active member of the team at that time, and was caught in the end that caused the deaths of several of the team’s members. The event left Adam crippled for a few years physically, but mentally for longer. He became far less effective as a crime fighter, the people of Maudison nearly going as far as to telling him to stop.

That was when a new slew of sidekicks started showing up on his doorstep. First, a young lad calling himself Matter Muncher Lad came calling; he wanted nothing more than to use his powers for good, but the only way to get onto a super team was to be referred. So Catman sent him to join the newly formed Super Teen Team. Then after the Crimson Chin picked up a second orphan to be his new sidekick, Adam decided that was a great idea and found one of his own, in the form of Catlad. Thankfully by this time, Catman wasn’t doing that much crime fighting anymore and Catlad had to do less punching and more Catman watching.

Marisol’s daughter also surfaced and came calling on Catman, demanding to know what connection he had with her missing mother, which is when he revealed the truth about Copy Cat. Despite his offer though, she refused to stay on as his sidekick or babysitter; she also refused the STT’s first few offers to join them as well, not wanting to rally get involved in crime fighting due to the stigma mutants still held in the super hero community.

Catman pretty much avoided most of the super hero drama brought on by the Nega-War, as well as the Age of O.M.A.R. event (despite West Industries being one of the backers of S.T.A.G.E.). He did attend the wedding of the Crimson Chin and Goldenlocks, before the start of the Divided by Civil War event. Catman played a very small part during that event; for the most part he didn’t go into costume and tried to help fund lobbyists to halt the passing of the Registration Act, but after the breakout of Sanquinchin Prison, he did suit up in an attempt to try to recapture some of the escaped convicts. It wasn’t revealed until the after math of the event that Catman wound up in intensive care, only to pass away sometime later.

Each of his previous sidekicks were then summoned to the West Estates by an adult Mary West, to the reading of the Will to pronounce who would inherit the West fortune, West Industries, and ultimate the role of Catman.

Alternate Takes

Catman: 9 Lives

In this setting Adam West became Catman in much the similar way as his main universe counterpart, the main difference though being that his uncle was a member of the Order of Mihos, a secret order of warriors who were charged with protecting the secrets of Leontoplis, the mythic temple home to the 9 Egyptian Cat Warrior Goddesses. The Order were tasked with the job to protect the world from the return of a great evil that the Warriors had trapped a millennia ago, and if they failed to do so, to go and awake the 9 Warriors to save them all. When he found his uncle killed by an agent of Anubis, Adam discovered his hidden map to Leontoplis, and made the trek to the hidden temple in the desert to complete the mission. The storyline ended with Adam become an avatar to the 9, housing the souls of the Warriors in his own body to fight the resurrected Anubis. This miniseries wasn’t intended to be a one-off AU, but due to fan reactions wound up being ignored as the intended reboot it was supposed to be. So the series ended ambiguously with the world being saved, but never confirmed if Adam survived the final confrontation or not.

Catman: The Midnight Hour

This was loosely adapted from the silver age storyline “The Midnight Run”, while taking elements from the 80s era of the Catman books. The story opens up with a more aggressive Catlady beating down criminals, and having the incident being told from the newspaper to a civilian styled Adam West. He’d been taking it easy as Catman lately, and couldn’t let some copy cat walk the streets. The two have a confrontation on the docks, that winds up disrupting the drug deal that Catlady was originally there to stop to begin with. The two get derailed as their romantic subplot takes over, but Catman eventually does indeed take down the leader of the gag doing the drug smuggling, while Catlady (who had apparently been doing her job before his assistance) was reduced to fighting the leader’s female ninja bodyguard.

The Nega-verse

His father was a two bit crime boss, and when an opposing cartel went to eliminate the West family, Adam escaped into the sewers where he stayed hidden for 2 weeks while a gang war ensued above. During that time he was bitten by what one would assume was a radioactive rat, though he didn’t give it any attention at the time. When he went back to the city surface, the neighborhood was in ruins, and he quickly learned that his father was dead while his mother had been taken by the rival gang. He fell into working with the leftovers of his father’s old gang; they were taken in by the new rival gang, not realizing that the little ring leader of this “junior gang” was the son of the old one’s boss. That’s when Adam started to realize that he had strange new powers, like the ability to smell things no one else could, and see in the dark, as well as enhanced flexibility, and well other rat-like qualities. He started pulling little acts of super villainy, mostly sabotaging the boss’ hits and what not. Until finally he confronted the man who killed his father, learning that he was now married to his mother and that she was the one that had betrayed them all. He ended up killing them both and took control of the gangs, and basically runs the city.

West Industries was famous in the medical fields for their advancements in genetic disease repairal due to gene splicing tactics. Adam was 17 when there was a lab accident that cost him his father, his uncle who happened to be the lead researcher in their facility, and hospitalized his mother for over a year. Adam was left in charge of the labs, but his father’s business partner (who it would later be discovered that caused the accident) was secretly buying up the company’s stock through shell companies to force the Wests out. When Adam discovered what was happening, he had a breakdown and broke into the laboratory to take whatever he could. The night guard caught him, and in the struggle Adam injected himself with a feline dna solution, which caused him to take on a feral werecat-like form. He wound up mauling the night guard and fled the facility, only to wake up 3 days later in the woods. Realizing what had happened, he made the choice to go confront his father’s business partner; when the man could not be reasoned with, Adam changed into his new man-cat form and killed the man. He easily required West Industries, with no one realizing he was the man-cat. Since then, he has been trying to find a way to either repair his dna and purge the feline form, or a way to better control his feral half while transformed, all while not revealing to anyone what had happened to him, or that he had killed two men.
