!!!'''AKA:''' Sylvester Pemberton, Jr.
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Star-Spangled Comics'' #1 (October, 1941)
->''"Several of you already know one or more of these new heroes, albeit under different names, but meet the new Dr. Midnight -- the new Hourman -- and the new, improved Wildcat!"''

Sylvester Pemberton was once the World War II hero known as the Star-Spangled Kid. As an adult, Sylvester founded the Los Angeles-based super-hero team, Infinity, Inc. Late in his career, he abandoned his Star-Spangled Kid persona and adopted the more adult identity of Skyman.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yolanda_montez.jpg]]
!!!'''AKA:''' Yolanda Maria Dorothea Lucia Montez
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Infinity Inc.'' #12 (March, 1985)
->''"They need Wildcat, Ted. And I've decided to make sure they have one."''

Yolanda Montez was the second Wildcat. She was the goddaughter of the original Wildcat, Ted Grant. Yolanda Montez's mother Maria was experimented on by the insane Dr. Love while she was pregnant. But unlike his other test subjects (including Maria's sister), Love lost track of Maria and her family when they moved from Mexico to the US to be with Maria's husband, the boxer 'Mauler' Montez. Yolanda eventually developed superpowers which gave her feline characteristics, and when Wildcat was injured during the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Yolanda decided to succeed him as Wildcat, joining Infinity, Inc. soon afterward.

* AbsurdlySharpClaws: Yolanda's claws are very sharp and can withstand a surprising amount of mechanical pressure. She could tear through the inner tissues and eventually the skin of a giant prehistoric shark, and can scale down brick walls face first to go faster.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: A Mexican-American female who picks up the title of Wildcat from her Anglo godfather.
* AnimalisticAbilities: Yolanda has cat-like agility and retractable claws.
* BackFromTheDead: Unexpectedly returned in the final issue of ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'', where she was seen as part of the newly-restored JSA. The decision to bring her back after ''decades'' of being dead was likely influenced by her usage in the ''Stargirl'' live-action show.
* CatGirl: The experiments done on her mother prior to her conception eventually lead Yolanda to develop cat-like features, including claws.
* ClashingCousins: Cacharo's mother and hers are sisters. They might also share a father depending on how involved Dr. Love was implied to be with his work.
* CListFodder: One of many lesser-known heroes who were slaughtered by Eclipso in DC's big summer blockbuster fish kill in 1993. She, along with many characters killed in that event, was brought back later in another big event, due to the fact that many were AffirmativeActionLegacy heroes and having wiped them out solely for cheap drama isn't the best look these days.
* DyingToBeReplaced: She was killed off in ''Eclipso'', and Ted became Wildcat again.
* GratuitousSpanish: She interjects a lot of Spanish in her English (though it's not really Spanglish either). "Por Dios!" is her favorite exclamation. Most of what she says in Spanish consists of dated folk sayings.
* IAmWho: When Helix shows up, she learns about her origins in detail, and is quite shocked and dismayed.
* InnateNightVision: Her feline abilities include being able to see in the dark.
* LegacyCharacter: Takes up the name Wildcat and becomes a hero after Ted gets injured and retires from the role.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Post-Flashpoint, there is a Yolanda Montez on Earth 2, but she's a rather changed character who lives in Mexico and is avatar of the Red.
* OverlyLongName: Her full legal name is Yolanda Maria Dorothea Lucia Montez.
* SpicyLatina: Yolanda is on the proud, self-reliant side and has a bit of a temper. She also is rather jealous, and was possessive of Nuklon and cranky toward Lyta Trevor Hall -- even though Nuklon and Montez weren't really dating.
* SuperReflexes: Possesses 'cat-like reflexes'.
* WolverineClaws: She has retractable catlike claws in her fingers and toes, which she uses for fighting, scaling obstacles, and ruining her hose.

->''"''¡Dongase, gatita!'' Besides filling the coastline with fear, they also just happened to deliver me the other thing I had come for... ''¡tu!''"''

Carcharo was a mutant, a human born with shark-like characteristics after his mother was experimented on during pregnancy by the insane Dr. Love, who was also responsible for the creation of both the supervillain team Helix and the second Wildcat (in reality Carcharo's cousin, Yolanda Montez). Carcharo's mother tried to drown both herself and her baby when she first saw what she had given birth to, but he survived thanks to his gills and grew up in the ocean, where he learned he could mentally control a group of 40-foot-long sharks. As an adult, Carcharo, driven by hatred and power-lust, caused chaos on the coast of California.

* CListFodder: One of many lesser-known heroes who were slaughtered by Eclipso in DC's big summer blockbuster fish kill in 1993.

* MeaningfulName: Becky Sharpe shares her name with the AntiHeroine[=/=]VillainProtagonist of ''Literature/VanityFair''.

See ComicBook/{{Hourman}} for more details.

* AgeLift: In ''Series/Stargirl2020'', she's a contemporary of ComicBook/{{Stargirl}}. In the comics, she was shown to have been the same age as Black Canary II, who is typically about ten years older than Courtney.

* NotAsYouKnowThem: Post Flashpoint there is a Yolanda Montez on Earth 2, but she's a rather changed character who lives in Mexico and is avatar of the Red.

* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: ''Series/Stargirl2020'' erased her relationship with Ted (who was her godfather in the comics, and was the one to train her). However, upon receiving his suit (which grants her powers), she took to researching him and became a fangirl of his.
