[6] An adult version of the character referred to as simply "The Leopard" appeared in Rebellion Publishing's 2000AD Presents: The Vigilant in 2018 as a member of a super team alongside the likes of Adam Eterno, Doctor Sin and the Steel Commando.

A new story Totem (again written by Furman and illustrated by Laurent Lefeuvre) was published in Rebellion's Monster Fun Halloween Spooktacular in October 2021,[7] and the strip was in the re-launched Monster Fun in April 2022 (and every two months until April 2023, then monthly from June 2023),[8] Billy Farmer lived with his Aunt Joan and Uncle Charlie[20] in the fictional town of Selbridge, where the 13-year old attended secondary school, where he was often bullied.

Billy was also the editor, sole writer and photographer for his school magazine, Farmer's World, and as such was sent to take pictures for the publication at a nearby zoological institute ran by Professor Jarman.

There he was scratched by a radioactive leopard called Sheba, and after returning home found he had enhanced strength, speed, reflexes and agility after an altercation with his abusive uncle.

He not only captures the robber and delivers him to the police, but is also able to snap a picture of the criminal in action, which he attempts to sell to Thaddeus Clegg, editor of the local newspaper Selbridge Sun, who believes he has faked the shot and refuses to buy it.
