Maybe the condors were an invasive species. Or it was a group that had thrived in seclusion when the other Asian condors went extinct.

I think the key is to recognize that they were mutants like Black Condor and that they were very intelligent, and therefore may have agency like any human and settled in a more remote area when they found themselves crowded in North America. In Libby's Elseworld X he even has the flock of condors follow Black Condor and fly all the way to America (probably via Alaska) to join the fight against the Axis. I've been immersed in Quality Comics for a while now, so I've been giving the characters a lot of thought.

So, Kylnn is on vacation in a Yiddish monastery in Tibet, studying the sacred text of Sun Tzu, when she is bitten by a radioactive condor, and an Australian deity decides to save her life, and gives her the powers of a Rocky Mountain cat!
I like it!

I read about the Purple Tigress. I believe there is a moth known as the Purple Tiger and her name and powers are fairly ambiguous. But we never see her origin.

I wonder - suppose she got the powers of a skunk but didn't want to call herself Skunk Girl or Skunkette or Doe or Stink Lass, so she chose a cat name instead. Though that would probably piss off the skunk diety because big cats are the skunk's worst enemies. Oh, well... Stink Lass sounds like a candidate for the Legion of Substitute Heroes!!!!
