Hellkat
From Encyclopedia Superheroica -the Encyclopedia of Superheroes
Hellkat (aka "Stimpy") is Keeferman's 300kg battlecat. Hellkat roars like thunder, shreds like lightning, and makes evildoers bleed like rain. Stimpy was born a seemingly ordinary cat, but he came by remarkable superpowers from symbiosis with Keeferman -and has been his sidekick for over a dozen years.

Origins
"So I walk into the cat pound and there's dozens of cages, each with dozens of kittens, and it's like fuzzy anarchy in there. Except for this one completely disaffected cat sitting quietly in a corner, they were running and jumping and cutting in front of each other in desperate attempts to get my attention. They're mewling and crawling over each other like a rushing waterfall of fur. It was crazy. I spent about 15 or 20 minutes in there trying to pick somebody out of the crowd, but there was literally too much cuteness to process. The good news is that, by the time I was getting ready to leave, they'd all quieted down. They'd all settled down to purring and licking each other. The bad news is that I hadn't made a choice. I didn't know what to do. I turned to leave and maybe check out some of the adult cats when I heard it. It was the saddest thing. Amidst the quiet purring of a hundred kittens who'd already forgotten about me... was one, faint voice, suddenly crying out: "Hey! Pick me? Take me with you?". It was the quiet one." -Keeferman
History
Hellkat's adventures have taken place all over the USA since the mid-Nineties.
Powers and Weaknesses
Weapons
- Saberteeth
- Tigerclaws
Powers
Some strange symbiosis with Keeferman allows Stimpy to transform, at will, from a 6kg specimen of Felis Catus Domestica into a giant 300kg black and white panther. This gives Hellkat superfeline strength, speed, and endurance. He's bigger than a tiger, more powerful than a lion, and faster than a cheetah.
Weaknesses
- The smell of tunafish.
- The sound of a can opener.
Known Associates
Hellkat is the number one sidekick to Keeferman. (He's also an unenthusiastic partner to Patrol Dog.)
