Talk:Wildcat (DC Comics)

message: I just wanted to note that I removed a couple of items. The first said that Grant's god-daughter (Yolanda Montez) didn't exist during the Crisis; this would tend to complicate all of her subsequent post-Crisis appearances. Second was a reference to Identity Crisis which added nothing to the article. I would rather see someone add some info about Ted's appearances in Birds of Prey or Catwoman as they are probably a lot more important. Korvac 17:35, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the only thing I could find in re-reading CRISIS was that Yolanda seemed to not know Ted.  She was there, no doubt, but this conflicts with her being Ted's god-daughter.  However, to almost No-Prize it, it could be said that once the continuities were rebooted as of issue 11, she was retconned into his god-daughter.  Does that make sense?Vito Delsante 17:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: It's tenuous at best to say that Wildcat is a "Batman inspired hero."  In the comics, he was inspired by a Green Lantern comic.  In reality, I suspect that Harry Donenfeld saw the success of Batman and wanted to repeat it.  Heck, Bill Finger, the co-creator of Batman, created Wildcat (with Irwin Hasen) so it's possible...I'm just wondering what the implication is...inspired within the comic or inspired in creation?

message: I don't think Wildcat would be considered an orphan.  He was raised by his father at least until his teens

message: The era that Hippolyta and Wildcat had an affair may have technically taken place in the John Byrne era, but the readers do not know anything about the relationship the two shared until Diana goes back in time herself disguised as Miss America in the Phil Jimenez era.

replies: text: The phrasing needs to reflect that. Right now it's technically correct because it was during Byrne's run that Polly went back. CovenantD 20:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Wildcat grant.jpg

message: I came to this article hoping to learn just how much effect Wildcat's comic relief "sidekick" Stretch Skinner had on the strip (did he, for example, ruin it as "Percival Popp, the Super Cop" did The Spectre?). Having read an early 70s reprint of his debut, these questions were big in my mind. However, not a word, other than to say that one of Ted Grant's two corrupt managers had that very surname. A check at the GCD revealed to me that Stretch debuted in what was just Wildcat's fourth story, and further, that despite having "(I)" for "Introduction" there, they indicated him in the first two stories as well, no doubt a case of multiple indexers confusing the manager with the sidekick. It's difficult to pass off that surname usage as editorial/writer indifference, not that close together, especially if the manager character did indeed appear in the second story as well, leaving just one intervening issue. The fact, however, that Stretch debuted as early in the run as he did and isn't talked about any more than he is does indicates that his effect was not very negative. The GCD does, in fact, list him right up to Wildcat 's final installment in Sensation #90, albeit with increasing sporadicness(?) in the feature's later years. Stretch really should be mentioned in the "Earth-Two" sub-section, but I certainly don't know enough about him to do the job properly, especially the relationship, or lack thereof, to the corrupt co-manager Skinner. Somebody, please! Ted Watson (talk) 20:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
