Streaky the Supercat
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.
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, with other super-powered animals like Krypto, Beppo, and Comet.
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.
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 was Supergirl's pet cat that was given super-powers by an unusual form of kryptonite.
In Action Comics #261 (February 1960), Supergirl was experimenting on a piece of green kryptonite in an attempt to find a way to neutralize its deadly effects. When her experiment failed, she tossed the kryptonite (or "X-Kryptonite", as it became known) out the window. Though her experiment failed, her pet Streaky came across the X-Kryptonite and was exposed to its radiation. Streaky gains powers akin to Superman and Supergirl, but on a lower level, including flight, super-strength, super-vision, super-speed, heat vision, and human-level intelligence.
Streaky made sporadic appearances in comic stories through the 1960s, and even became a member of the Legion of Super-Pets, a group consisting of the aforementioned super-powered animals.
Streaky's last pre-Crisis appearance was in Adventure Comics #394 (June 1970). When all kryptonite on Earth is transformed into iron, Streaky's X-Kryptonite power source is eliminated as well, causing him to lose his powers. In an answer to a reader's letter in Supergirl #2 (January 1973), editor E. Nelson Bridwell stated that the now-powerless Streaky had gone to live with Supergirl's foster parents in Midvale.
An alternate, grey-furred Streaky appears in Animal Man (1990) as one of the pre-Crisis characters who were returned to reality by the Psycho-Pirate's Medusa Mask. This alternate Streaky attacks Overman, an evil parallel universe version of Superman, with his heat vision before being hurled out of Arkham Asylum.
