January 28th - Wildcat 

Several heroes have operated under the name Wildcat. The original is Theodore ‘Ted’ Grant, a champion boxer who became a fugitive after he was wrongfully accused of killing a police officer. Inspired by The Green Lantern (Alan Scott) one of the early masked mystery men, Grant decided to don a costume and became The Wildcat, using his fierce fighting skills to battle crime. He was ultimately able to clear his name yet opted to continue on as The Wildcat, serving as a member of The Justice Society as well as The All-Star Squadron. Somewhere along the line Grant was imbued with a magical gift of a cat’s nine lives. This has greatly slowed his aging process as well as enabling him to quickly recover from injuries. Alongside his crime fighting, Grant has also helped to train many heroes in street-combat. His most prominent pupils have been Batman, Black Canary and The Guardian. Years later, Grant’s goddaughter Yolanda Montez took up as the second Wildcat. Montez was a metahuman who possessed enhance agility as well as retractable claws. She served as a member of Infinity Inc. and was later killed battling the villain Eclipso. Yolanda Montez later resurfaced as alive in the post ReBirth DC Universe. Following Montez, boxing protégé Hector Ramirez became the third Wildcat. He was a student of Ted Grant who, against Ted’s wishes, stole his old costume to go out and fight crime as the new Wildcat. Ramirez perished in a fight against the villainous Killer Croc. Finally, the fourth Wildcat has been Tom Bronson. Bronson is the son of Ted Grant and possesses the metahuman ability to transform into a black werecat creature with enhance strength, reflexes and powerful claws. Bronson served alongside his dad as a member of the Justice Society. He later changed his superhero name to ‘Tomcat’ and joined the hero team called The All-Stars. Actor Roger Hasket portrayed Ted Grant in an episode of the television series Smallville; JR Ramirez played the character in the television series Arrow; and both the Ted Grant and Yolonda Montez version of Wildcat appear in the show Stargirl, portrayed by actors Brian Stapf and Yvette Monreal respectively. The Ted Grant version of Wildcat first appeared in Sensation Comics #1 (1942); the Yolanda Montez version first appeared in Infinity Inc. #12 (1985); Hector Ramirez first appeared in Batman/Wildcat #1 (1997); and Tom Bronson first appeared in the pages of Justice Society of America Vol. 3 #1 (2007).
