Theodore "Ted" Grant is a fictional character, a DC Comics superhero, known as the original Wildcat and a long-time member of the Justice Society of America (JSA).

[1] A world-class heavyweight boxer, Grant became inadvertently entangled in the criminal underworld and developed a costumed identity to clear his name.

Modern depictions of Wildcat show him to be a rowdy, tough guy with a streak of male chauvinism, leading to frequent clashes with the relatively progressive Power Girl, as well as exploring some of the character's insecurities.

Grant’s Wildcat was also a recurring character on the third season of Arrow, played by J. R. Ramirez, and appeared in Stargirl, portrayed by Brian Stapf.

The Ted Grant version of Wildcat first appeared in Sensation Comics #1, and was created by writer Bill Finger and illustrator Irwin Hasen.

Ted Grant first donned the Wildcat costume in Sensation Comics #1 (January 1942), the same issue in which Mister Terrific premiered.

His mentor "Socker" Smith was killed by Grant's managers Flint and Skinner who used a syringe, loaded with poison, in a boxing glove.

The 1970s run of All Star Comics (1976–1979) had Wildcat play a central role as a JSA member, where he defeats Psycho-Pirate.

He is also highly skilled at other martial arts, such as capoeira,[16] hapkido,[16] kickboxing,[17] krav maga,[16] muay thai,[16] and taekwondo.
