Wildcat (Yolanda Montez)

[Güicho]

Although they went a bit to helmet with that head gear.


Also Brian Stapf cast as Ted Grant/Wildcat- He has his thread here too - https://community.cbr.com/showthread...hlight=wildcat

[sifighter]

Should I assume that the Stargirl show has no connection to the CW shows and the fact that a Wildcat (who may or may not have died) appeared on Arrow is of no importance/

Only connection it has is that it exists within the new multiverse shown at the end of Crisis of Infinite Earths. It’s on a completely new Earth 2 with its own history and such.

However apparently there have been talks of potential crossovers with either Flash or Supergirl. But not in the first season and only at idea stage from what I’ve seen in interviews.

From CBR - https://www.cbr.com/stargirl-wildcat...es-clear-look/
The actor portraying Yolanda, however, remains a mystery. There is speculation that the role has been taken by actor Yvette Monreal.

Not sure how that's still a "mystery" to anyone suposedly researching for CBR at this point?

Although it could have evolved from the concept, I was hoping she'd get closer to a boxing style with lace up boots, rather than the sleek onesie costume with toes, as well as the more bandaged pugilist elements.

Well, I have no idea what her TV origin will be, but in comics Yolanda was a meta --- from the same experiments that resulted in the birth of Mr. Bones (whom I'd love to see on Stargirl) and the rest of his team (whose name currently escapes me). I guess she may have had some boxing training -- but a lot of what she could so was genetic -- not from training. I like that she had her own power set -- not just a knock off of Ted Grant. And I think her TV look is fantastic -- as is Stargirl's.

A new version of Yolanda Montez is in the prime earth dc universe now.

I actually do hope this means that whenever we see the JSA next that we will see an emphasis on the Infinity Inc. cast alongside the new Geoff Johns era cast (meaning Jakeem Thunder, Stargirl, Cyclone, Damage, Citizen Steel. and etc.)

Not a half-bad Wildcat suit.

She looks cool! Always happy to see more Latino characters show up!

[Güicho]

Hard to see, but she's there throughout.








Last one, that's her leaping way up top.

This show actually looks fun

[Lightning Rider]

Man what the f*** is that...can't they do better with the costuming? Who is making these decisions?

Dr. Midnight looks like a different character also.

I wouldn't be shocked if that costume was from another dead project. It does look familiar. Some other show or movie had a version of that outfit. I want to say Lost in Space (not Netflick version) had something like it.

Yolanda’s first cover appearance (Crisis on Infinite Earths #12, March 1986):

[Güicho]

That's great, although her and Pérez had me doing a Where's Waldo? trying to find her ^there. : p

Here is a lightened up close up.

Yolanda’s first cover appearance (Crisis on Infinite Earths #12, March 1986):

She's a bit more prominent in next months Infinity Inc. #25, April 1986)



And got her first Who's Who entry in 1985-87 Who's Who: Directory #25
Where she appears on the cover with Grant.

Dr. Midnight looks like a different character also.

Not sure what you mean by that?
Are you thinking of Fawcett's Spy Smasher?)
Joining legacy Wildcat [Yolanda Montez] that is Dr. Midnight [Beth Chapel] wearing pretty much the Golden Age Dr. Midnight's costume. (it might borrow elements from the Pieter Cross incarnation.
And [Rick Tyler]Hourman son of [RexTyler], pretty much wearing close to his father's costume.
I do agree they could have done better.

Although maybe they start off awkwardly wearing their predecessors costumes, and those two will get upgrades that closer reflect their Infinity Inc. comic versions.
(although not sure those are any kind of improvement. I think I prefer their Golden Age costumes.

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware of Beth Chapel and the classic costume had me confused. Though I think Midnight and Wildcat look particularly poor, especially the cowls.

Who are the characters on the bottom?
