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.


Publishing History:
After the first series cancellation, WildStorm, now an imprint of DC Comics, resurrected the Wildcats under a whole different premise - Wildcats dealt with the lives of the original members after the team's breakup following a botched mission during which team member Zealot apparently died. Scott Lobdell provided the writing for the initial 7 issues as well as a Mosaic oneshot detailing the change in Lord Emp, with Travis Charest penciling most of them. New villains like Kenyan and CC Rendozo were featured as antagonists, but it was all dropped very quickly, with Charest leaving the monthly comic format for working in a French still-to-be-released Metabarons graphic novel called Dreamshifters and Lobdell going away just a couple of issues later, after a very grim and bloody issue featuring Warblade's new status quo as he avenges the death of his girlfriend.Wild Times: Wildcats and Wild Times: Grifter were published as oneshots, as a part of the strange crossover series Wild Times that spotlighted the characters in Elseworlds-like alternate reality scenarios that bended genres.

Somewhere around this time, Wildcats' creator Jim Lee penciled the 12 issue maxi-series Divine Right, featuring a new character called Max Faraday with god complex issues, introducing even more new creations such as Fallen, who were seldom seen later, as well as the end of the International Operations storyline. Strangely, Wildcats participated also in the WildC.A.T.s/Aliens crossover written by Stormwatch's Warren Ellis that served as a close to that series and a prequel to his Authority run, having very little to do with Wildcats themselves, and pencilled by Chris Sprouse.

As Joe Casey and Sean Phillips took over Wildcats, they quickly dealt away with Kenyan while Void and Emp ended up having Spartan absorb their assets and powers, thus the book began a long spell featuring him aided by Ladytron and Grifter with Maul and Voodoo guest-starring and as well as new characters Noir, Agents Wax and Mohr of the National Park Service. Warblade was featured very briefly, last time in the Wildcats 2000 annual that brought back the dead version Condition Red, killing Olympia. Casey and Phillips signaled the new Wildstorm - critically acclaimed but low on readers' radar. The heroes fought Samuel "Slaughterhouse" Smith (a superhuman serial killer whose grandfather had appeared in Team One: WildC.A.T.s) after which eventually Zealot returned. Casey also wrote the Ladytron oneshot, a farcical rendition of her past, as well as a Mister Majestic ongoing series, canceled at #9.
