## Synopsis

WildC.A.T.S: Covert Action Teams (1994-1995) is a Canadian-American animated science fiction action series created by Jim Lee and broadcast on CBS. Adapted from the Wildstorm comic line, it runs for a single season of thirteen half-hour episodes. Warblade, Zealot, Grifter, Spartan, Voodoo, Maul and Void, the inheritors of the alien Kherubim, are voiced by Dean McDermott as WarBlade, Colin O'Meara as Grifter, Rod Wilson as Spartan, Ruth Marshall as Voodoo and Janet-Laine Green as Void. Their engine is simple and urgent: awakened from a long slumber, they must organize into a covert strike force and stop the Daemonites, whose plans of domination have been burrowing beneath the planet for millennia. Each episode builds on standalone skirmishes and rising stakes against Lord Helspont and his forces, with the team's powers and divided loyalties driving the action. The tone is brisk, colorful and earnest, a fast-paced cartoon built on superhero spectacle and cosmic menace. Fans of X-Men: The Animated Series, Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited will find a familiar kinship in its team dynamics and comic-book energy.
