WildC.A.T.S is a half-hour animated television series based on the comics series of the same name and developed for television by David Wise. It aired on CBS for one season from October 1, 1994 to January 21, 1995. The series was produced by WildStorm Productions in association with Nelvana Limited. DC Comics now own the rights to the characters, due to their purchase of WildStorm in 1999. This was also David Wise's only show for Nelvana until Corn & Peg.

Overview

WildC.A.T.S is about the universal war between two prehistoric alien races. One of the races is the heroic Kherubim while the other is the evil Daemonites.

Differences between the comics and television series

The main differences of the series and the comic books were:

  • Jacob Marlowe, the Kherubim Lord Emp, was now an ordinary human.
  • Warblade discovers his powers when he becomes part of the group, in the first episode. Because of this, he is the group's rookie, a position occupied by Voodoo in the comic book.
  • Void is an android and a Kherubim artificial intelligence.
  • Majestic is an antagonist, obsessed with finding the Orb and destroying the Daemonites.
  • Max Cash, Grifter's comic universe younger brother, is the older brother, and the leader of an International Operations special unit called the Black Razors.
  • Pike, who in the comics is a human/Kherubim hybrid working for the Daemonites, is a Daemonite himself in the TV series.
  • Voodoo is a psychic with telekinetic as well as telepathic abilities.
  • Maul does not have a human form; his Titanthrope form is permanent. In addition, he becomes more enraged as he grows in size, as opposed to losing intelligence.
  • Zealot and Grifter become a couple by the series' end.
  • Spartan was a Kherubim rebuilt as a cyborg instead of being an android.
