History: Disappointed he had fathered a daughter, Henry Grant swore his child would be strong anyway. He started her training at an early age in weight training and self-defense.

Left destitute after her parents died, Grant worked a variety of low paying jobs until she met former heavyweight wrestling champion "Socker" Smith and helped him fend off two crooks who tried to rob her diner. The pair instantly clicked and soon Grant continued her training under Smith. Smith soon brought Grant into the world of professional wrestling and got her under the same managers he had, Flint and Fain.

Grant's fortunes grew and her star was on the rise when Flint and Skinner had the idea to promote an Inter-Gender match against Smith and Grant. Afraid that Smith would refuse to lose and betting heavily on Grant, Flint hit upon the idea of poisoning Smith and slipped a poisoned needle into Grant's boot. Flint used too much poison and Smith died in the ring. Grant was accused of murder and banned from the sport.

Hearing a report about the Green Lantern over the radio, and seeing some visiting luchadors, Grant struck upon an idea and donned a costume. Dubbing herself 'Wildcat' she sought out Flint and Fain and brought them to justice. Grant's name was finally cleared.

She continued this career as Wildcat, often accompanied by her sidekick and sometimes tag team partner Hiram "Stretch" Skinner. Wildcat joined the Justice Society of America and later the wartime All-Star Squadron.

Years later Grant retired from wrestling and crime fighting. When her leg was broken during the JSA's brief return, Grant trained Yolanda Montez to replace her as Wildcat.

Powers:

Wildcat is a brilliant and formidable hand-to-hand combatant.

Yeah, this might be the most radical departure yet. Why a wrestler? Women's boxing was a thing, but it was hardly mainstream. Women's wrestling on the other hand was bigger business and the masked hero bit lends itself much closer to a luchador than a boxer.
