Wildebeest is the name of different characters appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
History
Wildebeest I
The first Wildebeest is a poacher, mercenary, and enemy of Chris King and Vicki Grant.[1]
Wildebeest Society
The second Wildebeest is a supervillain and founder of the Wildebeest Society cartel. Although the Society has many members, only one operates publicly, creating the illusion that all of their crimes are committed by a single individual.[2]
After being possessed by the souls of Azarath, Jericho becomes the leader of the Wildebeest Society and creates host bodies for the souls to inhabit. Among his creations are Pantha and Baby Wildebeest, who join the Titans.[3]
Baby Wildebeest
New Wildebeests
While the Titans are affected by Klarion the Witch Boy's aging spell, the demonic supervillain Goth creates upgraded versions of the Wildebeests who resemble human-wildebeest hybrids. An unnamed old man later tames some of the Wildebeests to protect his town.[4][5]
Cybernetic Wildebeest
A separate Wildebeest created by Project M and enhanced with Cyborg's technology kidnaps Starfire and Tim Drake before being defeated by the Titans.[6][7]
Powers and abilities
The members of the Wildebeest Society are master tacticians and wear strength-boosting exoskeletons, resembling a monstrous, humanoid version of their namesakes. The New Wildebeests are wildebeest hybrids who possess enhanced strength, while the Cybernetic Wildebeest is cybernetically enhanced.
