Ted Grant (Earth-2: Post-Crisis)

"You got a kid to look out for. There's nothing more important."

- Wildcat to Stripesy

Ted Grant was a former heavyweight boxer, a member of the Justice Society of America and the vigilante known as Wildcat.

Early Life
"This fight was his last chance to reinvent himself, and he did. He came back a champion."

- Yolanda Montez to Courtney Whitmore

At some point, Ted Grant became a heavyweight champion in boxing. He later had this title stripped from him and his reputation was ruined right before a fight with Castillo, falsely accused of fixing a fight, but managed to regain them after beating him.

Vigilantism
Grant later began operating as the vigilante known as Wildcat and joined the Justice Society of America. During his time as Wildcat, he took down the Manfredi Drug Cartel of Bay Ridge and fought Tigress on multiple occasions, although these encounters always ended with her escape. He also became friends with Pat Dugan and gave him a Big Boy Keychain as it was the closest thing he could find to a Stripesy action figure.

Christmas Eve
On December 24, 2010, Grant and the rest of the Justice Society were lured into a battle at an abandoned mansion by their arch-enemies, the Injustice Society of America. During the battle, Grant was thrown through the building wall before landing on the ground and taking his last breath, all of which was witnessed by Stripesy.

Powers/Suit Capabilities

 * Wildcat Suit Application: Ted Grant's suit augmented his natural athletic prowess. Although there is some speculation as to the full extent of Wildcat's powers, his traits in battle strongly indicate that he displayed additional abilities.
 * Enhanced Agility: Wildcat, as his name implies, had the agility of a cat. He displayed enhanced agility, including the ability to leap large distances both vertically and large spans of length. According to his Wikipedia page, he could jump off buildings. His agility was all the more impressive given his stocky build.
 * Enhanced Balance: At other times, Wildcat showed a superhuman ability to balance on high wires and narrow stretches, beyond anything normal. Wildcat always landed on his feet.
 * Retractable Claws Grant had the ability to generate claws from the Wildcat suit which were able to slice through metal.
 * Wall Crawling: Grant was able to scale walls through the use of his claws.

Abilities

 * Peak of Human Physical Condition: Grant was at the peak of human physical condition as he was both a vigilante and a heavyweight champion in boxing.
 * Hand-to-Hand Combat: Grant was a former heavyweight boxing champion and highly skilled street fighter who always stood back up after getting knocked down. He was also a good trainer. Grant's fighting skills made him a worthy inclusion to the Justice Society of America, as he and the Golden Age of heroes protected the world for decades. According to his Wikipedia page, he brought down criminal groups "solely using an unparalleled ability in boxing and hand-to-hand combat." He has also fought against the extremely dangerous Tigress on many occasions, with each of their duels being inconclusive and ending with her escape, implying his superior skills. Wildcat also notoriously fought alongside Green Lantern against Sportsmaster, who, according to Pat Dugan, is one of the best fighters in the world.
 * Boxing: Grant was an incredibly skilled boxer as he was able to gain the title of heavyweight champion. Prior to his match with Castillo, Grant was stripped of his title because he was wrongfully accused of fixing a fight, which ruined his reputation by the time his name was cleared. During his fight against Castillo, he made an incredible comeback, which was his last chance to reinvent himself, and he returned a champion.

Former Equipment

 * Wildcat Suit: Grant wore a black protective suit whilst operating as Wildcat that gave him numerous superhuman abilities.
