1994 Jim Lee's Wildcats The Animated Series

The 1994 animated series based on Jim Lee's comic was titled Wild C.A.T.s: Covert Action Teams. It aired for one season on CBS from October 1, 1994, to January 21, 1995, as part of the "Action Zone" programming block. Premise: The show centered on the conflict between two ancient alien races stranded on Earth: the heroic Kherubim and the evil Daemonites. The WildC.A.T.s were a squadron of superpowered warriors, including Kherubim descendants and half-human hybrids, dedicated to defeating the Daemonites' plan for planetary domination. Production: The series was co-produced by WildStorm Productions (Jim Lee's company, then an independent entity at Image Comics) and the Canadian animation studio Nelvana. Animation veterans Bob Forward and David Wise developed the show for television. Tone: The animated series featured a more family-friendly storyline compared to the original, grittier comic book source material, which included character changes like making Voodoo an adolescent instead of an ex-stripper. Legacy: Despite a strong marketing push that included a toy line from Playmates Toys and a tie-in video game, the series was canceled after its initial 13-episode run.
