"Your World, Only Better"

The WildCats have come a long way from being a Covert Action Team, as WILDCATS Version 3.0 explores the decidedly corporate machinations of Jack Marlowe and the Halo Corporation. As head of the Halo Corporation, Jack Marlowe seems to be a strong-willed and visionary businessman. But who can tell just what devious schemes are hatching under his android exterior? From Third World factories to Los Angeles accounting firms, nothing under Marlowe's corporate umbrella is left unscathed. And those who don't like his plans are introduced to his deadly former teammate, Cole Cash, a.k.a. Grifter!

Exactly how does a modern multinational conglomerate go about taking over the world? And how do the other members of the WILDCATS cast - Grifter, Wax, C.C. Rendozzo, the mysterious Agent Orange, and several new characters - fit into its plans?

Overview:
Centuries ago, an interstellar war stranded two enemy alien races - the Kherubim and the Daemonites - on Earth. The marooned beings infiltrated and influenced the native humans until the late 20th century when the confrontations reignited.

Led by Lord Emp, the WildC.A.T.s rose as a team consisting of Kherubim, Kherubim-human halfbreeds, and a human, to halt the Daemonite attacks that had secretly plagued Earth.

Hidden from human eyes and cut off from their home worlds, they fought a secret war funded by Lord Emp's front corporation, Halo. But before long, the team discovered that the war they'd been fighting for generations had ended hundreds of years earlier! Disillusioned and broken, the team fell apart.

Android field leader Spartan eventually took charge of the Halo Corporation and focused his attention on building a better world through progressive, peaceful technology rather than violence.


Publishing HIstory:
The third series, Wildcats Version 3.0, was a part of the mature readers' Eye of the Storm imprint, dealing with Spartan's (now Jack Marlowe) agenda to better the world by proliferating advanced technology and power sources throughout the world via the HALO Corporation. Grifter was his troubleshooter and Agent Wax was one of his first associates. The stories added a motley group to this proactive organization including the power broker C.C. Rendozzo and her organization, Agent Orange, and Grifter's unlikely pupil Edwin Dolby, one of HALO's accountants. The series ended with a thunderous finale where Zealot destroyed the Coda chapter she created on Earth. The whole series was written by Joe Casey and most of it was illustrated by Dustin Nguyen (not to be confused with the actor).

It is important to note that concurrent with Wildcats Version 3.0, Wildstorm also published a critically acclaimed noir-superhero series Sleeper starring Alan Moore's Wildcats villain Tao, several Wildcats and other related characters. Spartan played a role in the Coup D'Etat crossover centering on The Authority taking over as rulers of the Wildstorm Universe's United States.
