The first Wildebeest is a poacher, mercenary, and enemy of Chris King and Vicki Grant.[1]
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.
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.[2]
