Wild C.A.T.s Theme Details
The “Wild C.A.T.s” opening theme is a quintessentially ’90s rock-infused track performed by Sheree Jeacocke and Gerry Mosby.
With its driving beat and aggressive guitar riffs, the anthem sets the stage for the war between the heroic Kherubim and the villainous Daemonites, capturing the intensity of the Image Comics source material.
Animated Opening Sequence
From Comic Panels to Pixels
The Wild C.A.T.s (Covert Action Teams) animated series was a major attempt to bring the booming Image Comics revolution to television. Created by Jim Lee and Brandon Choi, the show maintained the comic’s core premise: a secret war on Earth between two alien races, the Kherubim and the Daemonites.
Produced by Nelvana and WildStorm, the series featured high-quality animation for its time and a stellar voice cast. While it only ran for 13 episodes on CBS, it remains a cult classic for ’90s superhero fans, known for its complex characters like Spartan, Grifter, and Zealot. The theme song by Jeacocke and Mosby remains a nostalgic “musical ticket” to that era of edgy animation.
