History:
Shortly after Ted Grant was born, his father Henry pledged that Ted would not be a fragile child as he had been, nor would Ted be afraid of life, so Henry had Ted trained in sports and self-defense from infancy.

After Ted’s parents died, he was left penniless due to their debts. He sought work without success until he helped heavyweight champion "Socker" Smith fight off a pair of holdup men. Smith gave Grant a job as one of his sparing partners, and very soon Grant became a great success as a professional boxer himself. Both Smith and Grant were managed by the same men, Flint and Skinner.

Finally, there was a championship fight between Smith and Grant. To "fix" the fight so that Grant would win, Flint and Skinner had Grant’s second, Fain, slip a poisoned needle into Smith’s boxing glove. The plan was for the poison to render Smith unconscious when the unsuspecting Grant hit him, but Fain put too much poison on the needle and Smith was killed. Grant was accused of murdering Smith, and Flint and Skinner tried unsuccessfully to kill Grant to keep him from accusing them.

Hearing a young boy talk about the Green Lantern inspired Grant to become the costumed "mystery-man" Wildcat to bring Smith’s killers to justice. Wildcat forced Flint, Skinner, and Fain to confess, and Ted Grant’s name was cleared.

Grant continued this career as Wildcat, often accompanied by his sidekick, Hiram "Stretch" Skinner (who is not to be confused with Grant’s first manager). Wildcat joined the wartime All-Star Squadron and worked briefly with the Justice Society of America.

Years later Grant retired from boxing as undefeated world heavyweight champion. He was a regular member of the JSA after it was revived in the 1970’s.

Wildcat’s legs were shattered during the so-called Crisis on Infinite Earths. Yolanda Montez, the daughter of an old friend of Grant’s became the new Wildcat.

Soon thereafter, the first Wildcat and the rest of the JSA went to the dimension of Asgard to prevent the destruction of the universe. There the first Wildcat and other JSA members merged with many of the Norse gods to battle the gods’ greatest enemies. Caught in a "time loop," Wildcat and other JSA members will apparently battle these menaces for the rest of eternity, thereby preventing the universe’s destruction.

Powers:
Wildcat is a brilliant and formidable hand-to-hand combatant.
