I never tire of this "class photo" of the Silver Age-version of the Justice Society of America by Murphy Anderson.
This was when the JSA was still respected by DC Comics. Things went downhill for the group after Crisis On Infinite Earths, when some members (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Robin) were erased from existence. DC then decided to remove most of the remaining members completely from the DC Universe with The Last Days of the Justice Society (1986).
The team was rescued from Limbo in Armageddon: Inferno (1991), but fans didn't get to celebrate long. During Zero Hour (1994) many of its members were killed off or aged to the point of incapacitation.
Of the members pictured above only Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Wildcat are still active. Red Tornado 2 (the android, John Smith) has been retconned many, many times, but I believe in current continuity he/it was never a member of the JSA, but active with the Justice League.

A whole bunch of Scottish wildcats were released in Cairngorms National Park today and I love how fucking angry they look.

my contribution to the 🏳️‍⚧️ Transcartoonology 🏳️‍⚧️ by @ghostsharkpress​
when I was a kid Wildcat was (and still is) one of my favorite cartoon characters but their gender confused me. the other characters used male pronouns but with the long hair, soft temper and high voice little me had a lot of question marks in their head. Wildcat wasn’t like the other male characters but also not like the female ones. Then I learned about the gender nonbinary! which fit perfectly to my image of Wildcat (and also myself). I’ve been wanting to work on this comic for years and this has been the perfect platform for it!

Scottish Wildcat and Scottish Wildkittens. Once widespread across Great Britain, this population of European wildcats is now only found in northern and eastern Scotland. They’re threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and hybridized with domestic cats.
This is gonna be the postcard for February’s Creature Mail!
[ID: an illustration of a serious-looking wildcat on a fallen log. Two kittens are cuddling in the crook of a branch below her. The background is a field at night, with snow falling. End.]

Etho and Grian are back at base, hysterically laughing over their achievement. Cleo sits inside, staring, as the two of them talk about getting a wither and a warden to fight, and tries to figure out what she feels about it.
In some ways it's not their fault. Task made them do it and all that. Plus--
Well, it's not like she and Etho are losing hearts anytime soon. They've both done a damn good job keeping themselves from dying. A benefit, Cleo thinks, of deciding to team with Etho this time. Between the two of them, they'll largely only do chaos they can recover from. Maybe this is their game. Maybe this time, Cleo manages to stick with someone until the very end. It looks like it. It looks like...
Grian, of course, is the confounding factor.
She wasn't going to turn him away. He needed allies. They needed someone a bit better at actually doing damage than herself or Etho. It's mutually beneficial. And, besides, he's weirdly lovable, in an inherently kind of dangerous way. A little like loving a bobcat someone had accidentally raised as a pet cat until it got a bit too big and stinky and murdery for them. Like, yeah, he shouldn't be domesticated and he's not, really, in any sense of the word, but it's a bit sad to watch him try to survive on his own now, right?
Hah. Maybe that's what Scar managed to do to him. Would explain a lot, really.
Anyway, he's her bobcat now, which is the problem.
See the thing is: Cleo understands Etho. It's why finally deciding to be partners for once felt... right. They're similar flavors of people. Scared, mostly. Survivors, but not in the 'will stab anyone' way that like, Martyn is. Loyal, although Cleo has no delusions that Etho is as loyal as she. And scared. Has she already said that? Scared. It's important to the kinds of things she and Etho are. Like... mountain lions, maybe. Mountain lions that have been around just enough people to know how dangerous they are. Like that.
God, she's only doing cat metaphors. Bdubs really is turning them all into furries.
Anyway, the point is, Grian isn't scared.
And that... terrifies her.
That's scarier than anything else. Because, see, Cleo wants to survive. But more than that, she wants her partners to survive. And she and Etho, the two of them are doing well. Better than most people. They're green and they have so many hearts.
But Grian? Grian's yellow and not afraid and goading Etho into not being afraid too. It's not their fault, exactly, Cleo thinks. They both had hard tasks. They didn't have a choice, Cleo thinks.
But. But.
She doesn't know what to do, if Etho gets convinced the humans down the mountain aren't scary. She doesn't know what to do if he gets too close. She doesn't know what to do if he gets hurt.
Because she--she doesn't think she can learn to stop being scared, anymore.
But she also doesn't know how many times her heart can stand to lose someone.
Did you know--wild cats are social? They have a reputation for being loners, but mountain lions, they're social. They don't do well being alone. They don't actually hunt solely alone. That's the important bit here. They seem independent, sure, but actually...
Anyway. This is Bdubs's fault. For making her a furry, apparently.
She watches Grian and Etho scheme together and sits back and breathes and tells herself that Etho isn't going to stop being afraid anytime soon. That if push came to shove, he, at least, would retreat back, and that maybe the two of them could convince Grian to retreat too. Safe from hunters. Safe from red.
Maybe safe from hurting each other, too.
(She's not so sure about that part.)

Some pages from the origin story and first appearance of Wildcat, by Bill Finger (co-creator of a some guy called Batman) and Irwin Hasen, from Sensation Comics (vol. 1) #1 (January, 1942).
As a kid I only knew Hasen as the artist on the newspaper strip Dondi. I bought the New York Daily News every Sunday for my grandmother, and she let me have the large color comics section, which carried Dondi. The other Sunday newspapers my family read were Long Island's Newsday, which had a so-so comics section with no adventure strips, and The New York Times, which carried no comic strips at all (boring!).
It wasn't until I purchased Famous First Edition #C-30, the over-sized reprint of Sensation Comics #1, that I realized Hasen had been a comic book artist during the Golden Age. I really loved those reprints from DC, complete with the ads that ran in the books.
I liked the whole bit where Ted Grant is inspired to become Wildcat by "comic book character" (and his future Justice Society of America teammate) Green Lantern. That same bit is used in the Little Boy Blue origin story in the same issue. When deciding to become a costumed crime fighter, the hero is told by his best friend that Wildcat was inspired to do so by Green Lantern. So very meta.
Sensation Comics #1 included the original and first appearance of Mr. Terrific (another future member of the Justice Society), and The Gay Ghost (later renamed The Grim Ghost). It also featured the second appearance of some dame named Wonder Woman, who also snagged the cover spot.
