Wildcat is the name of several DC Comics characters, the first and most famous of which was created by Bill Finger and Irwin Hasen and made his debut in Sensation Comics #1 in January, 1942.Golden Age hero Ted Grant grew up during the great depression and despite wanting to study medicine ended up using his fists to make money as a professional boxer instead. After a couple of fixers accidentally killed a boxer they'd drugged to ensure he'd lose a fight, they framed Ted for the whole mess and then tried to have him killed to prevent anyone from learning the truth. When the hit went wrong and killed the cops instead of Ted, he went on the run, and met a young boy who talked about Green Lantern (Alan Scott). Inspired by Lantern's example, Ted vowed to clear his name and created a cat themed costume for himself, and the rest is history.During World War II, Ted joined the Justice Society of America, a hero team he would forevermore remain affiliated with.Ted started a boxing club in Gotham and went on to become instrumental to the training of many other heroes, powered and Badass Normal alike. He discovered decades later his old club was still using his name and had been turned into a training ground for henchmen, providing them with combat skills and powered suits. He manages to shut them down despite knowing he's well past his prime and can't take on the heavy hitters with powers which reaffirms his place as a hero.One of his boxing pals, 'Mauler' Montez, made Ted the godfather of his daughter Yolanda, whose mother Maria was experimented on by the insane Dr. Love while she was pregnant. Unlike his other test subjects (including Maria's sister), Love lost track of Maria and her family when they moved from Mexico to the US to be with Maria's husband. Yolanda eventually developed superpowers which gave her feline characteristics, and when Wildcat was injured during the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths and retired from the role, Yolanda decided to succeed him as Wildcat, joining Infinity, Inc. soon afterward.At a rather elderly age, Ted — whose body is that of a younger man due to a number of time-traveling and magical mishaps — learned he'd fathered an illegitimate son named Tom living in Brooklyn. During Ted's visits to get to know his son he discovered that Tom had powers when Tom rescued Ted from Vandal Savage. At this discovery Ted invited his son to the JSA and welcomed him to the use of Ted's Wildcat moniker for hero work should he be interested.Others, like Hector Ramirez, have held the name for only a single issue. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Tommy and Ted have a somewhat tense relationship, owing to the fact Ted was never there for him (because he didn't know he existed), and their completely differing preferences concerning combat. However, Ted loves his son and Tommy, even while they don't express it often. | |

Reluctant Warrior: Part of the reason Tom hid his powers was that he was scared of his lack of control, the other part was that he doesn't like fighting and didn't want to be forced into fights. Despite his slacker personality he will quickly take down anyone attacking innocents in front of him and his dad talked him into joining the JSA. | |

Alternate Company Equivalent: A lesser notable one to Wolverine.

The biggest difference is Ted usually lacks Wolverine Claws and, unlike Wolverine, is 6'6'', and he's less of an asshole. | |

Hidden Depths | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: While he's a sardonic Deadpan Snarker who likes to drink, smoke, and turns into a cat, he actively dislikes violence despite being capable of taking on Vandal Savage; at first it was because he was seemingly worried about his powers, it becomes apparent he just doesn't enjoy it and finds the idea of fighting for anything but drastic necessity to be really off-putting. | |

C-List Fodder: One of many lesser-known heroes who were slaughtered by Eclipso in DC's big summer blockbuster fish kill in 1993. She, along with many characters killed in that event, was brought back later in another big event, due to the fact that many were Affirmative-Action Legacy heroes and having wiped them out solely for cheap drama not being the best look these days. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Despite being the resident Jerk with a Heart of Gold who used to be written as a Straw Misogynist, he's typically now shown to be fairly progressive for a man his age, especially towards women, and takes on many female students whom he tends to view as daughter figures. He's old-fashioned in how he talks to women (IE, using terms like "broads" or commenting on their figure), but he's very respectful to them on their person. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Some writers have played with the idea that Ted was in love with Dinah Drake (JLA: Year One even presents that they once had an affair). However, he didn't push anything further because she was married to Larry Lance. Instead he concentrated his romantic love towards Dinah Sr into paternal love for her daughter, who he cared for as if she was his own daughter. | |

Being a Boxing Battler, Ted is often assumed to just be Unskilled, but Strong. He's actually a highly skilled martial artist and technical fighter, but had merely started off as a boxer and considers it his preferred style. He's more than capable of using Judo, kick-boxing, and other styles, many of which he taught to his students. | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f | comment |
Back from the Dead: Unexpectedly returned in the final issue of Doomsday Clock, where she was seen as part of the newly-restored JSA. The decision to bring her back after decades of being dead was likely influenced by her usage in the Stargirl live-action show. | |

Dented Iron: He started out as just a really good boxer who donned a cat outfit and started fighting bad guys back in the '40's. While he's in shockingly good shape given his age and now has Resurrective Immortality he picked up a lot of injuries over the years and his body is just older and not as capable as it once was. | |

Clashing Cousins: Yolanda's aunt, like her mother, was experimented on during pregnancy by Dr. Love, producing the villainous Shark Man Cacharo, who became an enemy of Yolanda (and Infinity, Inc. as a whole). They might also share a father, given how involved Dr. Love is implied to have been with his work. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: In live action adaptations, Ted is usually a much lesser deal within the JSA, if not being Adapted Out completely. When the JSA appeared, he was virtually absent in Smallville, he had an Age Lift and was unconnected to them in the Arrowverse, and Stargirl (2020) has him Killed Off for Real in the pilot to give room for Yolanda. | |

Breakout Character | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_da0eeab5 | comment |
Breakout Character: To a minor case; he went from one-of-a-million expies of Batman to taking his place in the JSA, was retconned into having been his trainer and the trainer of Black Canary, and was the only one who got to appear in Justice League. Him, Jay Garrick, and Alan Scott pretty much stand as the three most prominent figures, which is far more impressive for him when you consider Jay and Alan have their connections to The Flash and Green Lantern legacies to boost their popularity, while Ted's legacies aren't nearly as prominent. | |

Famed In-Story | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_db9940c4 | comment |
Famed in Story: As both a boxer and a hero. His hero cred is best amongst other heroes since the JSA are not as well known amongst the general populace as the flashier teams but are looked up to and respected by the hero community. Tim Drake, who was a giant fanboy before DC turned him into a dour Batman clone, was so excited to run into Ted at a car show he nearly ruined his own secret identity. | |

Absurdly Sharp Claws: Yolanda's claws are very sharp and can withstand a surprising amount of mechanical pressure. She could tear through the inner tissues and eventually the skin of a giant prehistoric shark, and can scale down brick walls face first to go faster. | |

Old Master: As one of DC's most prolific mixed martial artists, he's often sought out for training, which he's usually happy to give. Special emphasis goes to the "Old" part, since he's somewhere in his 90s+ at least. | |

One-Steve Limit: Averted with two Wildcats being on the same team. Eventually he goes by the name Tomcat, even though he had stated in the past that he would never go by that name; given it's a pretty obvious go-to nickname to distinguish the two, it's likely he didn't choose to go by it, but everyone was already calling him that anyway. | |

Cats Have Nine Lives | |
| Wildcat (Comic Book) / int_f1a15f4b | comment |
Cats Have Nine Lives: Ted Grant possesses the ability to return from the dead, a total of nine times. These "nine lives" are characteristic of the mythical properties of average house cats. Ted apparently acquired this power when the magician Zatara altered a curse placed on him by the villain King Inferno. He at one point believed he had used up all nine lives, but (in a Retcon) the sorcerer Mordru (while disguised as Doctor Fate) later informed him that he always has nine lives unless he is killed nine times in a single "cycle". | |
