Wildcat

Today, I am featuring Wildcat. A simple superhero alot of people may not know.
Wildcat

Wildcat, aka Ted Grant, was granted nine lives at some point in his life. He is a world-class boxer and keeps himself in peak physical condition. He has also trained Batman, Black Canary and even Superman in the art of boxing. He was a member of the Justice League and retired to be a boxing trainer, also teaching other fighting styles. He has been known to knockout even experienced fighters with a single punch.


Always ready for a fight


Wildcat is one of the four original members of the Justice Society of America.  He was one of the many combat instructors sought by a young Bruce Young. He also mentored Black Canary, teaching her a style of boxing suited for her body size. He is always willing to train, or spar, with anyone. He never turns down a fight. During his travels, he has been forced to fight Batman which ended on a draw to my knowledge. They have also worked together on many occasions.

Someone looks rough...

Ted Grant also has a god-daughter and a son. When Wildcat was injured, his god-daughter took over the costume and joined Infinity Inc. She helped save the world, and get revenge for what happened to her family, but it led to her eventual death by the hands of Eclipso. Ted Grants son, Tom Bronson, never knew his father. It wasnt that Ted didnt want to be in his sons life, it was to protect his son, that is until Vandal Savage tried to kill every member of the Justice Society of Americas children and anyone related to them. Tom was named the new Wildcat by his father, when Tom saved himself and his father from Vandal Savage.

I want one...
Wildcat has appeared on different tv shows, helping the Justice League in Justice League Unlimited and also helping Batman in Batman: The Brave and The Bold. He made an appearance on Smallville, nothing too note worthy, but mainly just stays in the comics. Wildcat is a nice simple and yet very awesome superhero.  Thanks for reading :)
