Streaky the Supercat is a fictional superhero cat that appears in comic books published by DC Comics. He first appeared in Action Comics #261 (February 1960) and was created by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney.[1]

He is Supergirl's pet cat who gained superpowers through exposure to X-Kryptonite; such as flight, super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability, and enhanced vision abilities, among other Kryptonian powers. His distinctive mark is a lightning bolt in his fur running along both sides. He is also a member of the Legion of Super-Pets, alongside other super-powered animals such as Krypto (whom he accompanies as his sidekick and best friend), Beppo and Comet.

Publication history

[edit]

Streaky the Supercat first appeared in Action Comics #261 (February 1960) and was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Jim Mooney. He was the pet of Supergirl, in her identity as Linda Lee.[2]

Fictional character biography

[edit]

One of a series of superpowered animals, including Krypto the Superdog, Comet the Super-Horse, and Beppo the Super-Monkey, that was popular in DC's comics of the 1960s, Streaky is Supergirl's pet cat who gains superpowers from a variety of kryptonite she created while attempting to neutralize its effects.[3][4][5]

Streaky made sporadic appearances in comic stories through the 1960s and joined the Legion of Super-Pets, a group consisting of the aforementioned super-powered animals.[6]

In The Sandman Saga, Streaky loses his powers after all kryptonite on Earth is transformed into iron.[7][8] Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths continuity reboot, various characters inspired by Streaky appear before the original Streaky is reintroduced in Super Sons Annual #1 (2017).[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
