This week, we’re asking DC fans to submit their fun trivia facts about a character who the world knew as the heavyweight boxing champion but was the person who taught heroes how to throw, and land, a punch. The mantle has primarily been held by only one person, but for a brief while their goddaughter took it over. This hero is able to see in the dark perfectly, but it was after a run-in with the villain Ian Karkul that their aging process slowed down significantly. Of course, we can only be talking about the one and only Wildcat!

Let us know all your little-known intel in the comments below, and it could be selected for featuring in our new “Trivia” Encyclopedia section! Anyone whose Fun Facts are selected will receive a rare “Daily Planet Editor” badge!

Remember – All facts MUST be cited with their source to be considered for- it can be any source! Just be sure you cite it.

Thomas appears in Justice Society of America (2006). Written by Geoff Johns. The two get off to a rocky start given that Ted never knew about him and Tom didn’t want anything to do with him. But they became very close throughout Johns’ run.
I don’t really know much about Yolanda other than her exist and the fact that she’s his Goddaughter.

Just a note that first appearances, casting, storyline summaries, and creators aren’t quite what we’re looking for here. We’re looking for juicier tidbits — the more specific the better.

I looked into this, and Wildcat gave away the mine at the end of the issue. (This is why you shouldn’t necessarily pull your facts from wikis. :P)
