When Ted Grant became the vigilante known as Wildcat, he began wearing a protective suit to enhance his physiology and conceal his identity. The suit was used until his demise in the Battle of Los Angeles, with Pat Dugan retrieving the suit and placing it on display at the JSA headquarters for years.[1][2]
A New Generation[edit | hide]
Ten years later, while Courtney Whitmore was brought to witness the legacy of the Justice Society of America, she stole multiple gadgets and suits from the building, including the Wildcat Suit, Hourman Suit, Doctor Mid-Nite Suit, Starheart Lantern, and the Thunderbolt.[2]
Using the stolen gadgets, Whitmore attempted to reform the Justice Society, soon deciding upon Yolanda Montez to succeed Grant as the new Wildcat. As Montez wore the suit, she claimed that it stank and did not fit her. However, the suit soon altered its appearance and size to fit her, much to her surprise.[3]
Guilt[edit | hide]
Soon after killing Brainwave while foiling the Injustice Society's project, Montez's guilt pushed her to slowly abandon her role as a vigilante and ultimately retired from vigilantism under the influence of Eclipso.[4] Montez stepped up as Wildcat when she later realized Whitmore sought the assistance of Cindy Burman, and worked with her enemy against Eclipso.[5]
