Bazza Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 How many superhero & supervillain characters are based on big cats? The ones that I can think of at the moment are: Black Panther (Marvel) Tigra (Marvel) Cheetah (DC) I'm sure there are many others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Off the top of my head-- The entire lineup of Thundercats. Leopardman and Kitkat (takeoffs on Silver Age Batman & Robin) from Kurt Busiek's Astro City. Cat-Man, a Golden Age hero. Goliath, from Hanna-Barbera's Samson & Goliath, a dog that transformed into a lion that could shoot "power-beams" from its eyes. Does mythology count? There's The Manticore, from City Of Heroes' Freedom Phalanx--the Batman to The Statesman's Superman. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlord Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Wildcat? Bronze Tiger Puma White Tiger Hellcat? Shadowcat? If you're counting mythological creatures with catlike bodies then there is the Sphinx - Marvel villain and hero mentor from Mystery Men; also there is Chimera an xmen villain PS: Is Battle Cat a superhero?

RDU Neil Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 There's a Cat-Man DC villain, too, right? Cat & Mouse from '80s Aircel comics (IIIRC) though there was nothing animal about them (just street vigilantes). Am I missing that no one mentioned Catwoman in the above lists? Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) from Marvel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I forgot Dex's name. The Red Lantern cat. Lion Mane is one based on lions. There are several women running around in Tiger costumes but I can't find the name. I keep thinking Red Tiger ? But Flying Tiger and Tiger Wraith are valid choices as those characters exist EDIT: Got it ! It was Huntress originally and she became Tigress.

Lord Liaden Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Don't forget Streaky the Super-Cat from DC Comics. Not a "big cat," I know, but I wouldn't say that to him. Do Champions characters count? There's Pantera from Eurostar, and Lynx from the Brain Trust villain team. Jaguar from the 4E Champions.
