History
Wildebeest
The first Wildebeest is a poacher, mercenary, and enemy of Chris King and Vicki Grant.
Wildebeest Society
The second Wildebeest is the founder of the Wildebeest Society, a criminal cartel that conducts underhanded affairs for financial gain. Although the Society has many members (some of them having previously worked for H.I.V.E.), only one Wildebeest operates publicly, giving the illusion that all of their crimes are committed by a single individual.
The Wildebeest Society later falls under the control of former Teen Titans member Jericho, who has been possessed by the spirits of Azarath. Under the leadership of Jericho, the Wildebeest Society creates artificial host bodies for the spirits to possess. All of their experiments fail except for the human/panther hybrid X-24, who escapes and vows vengeance on the Wildebeest Society. Jericho captures the Teen Titans so they can serve as host bodies, but the Titans are rescued by Pantha, Arella, Phantasm, Red Star, and Jericho's father Deathstroke.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Wildebeest (character)”, the useful work is to connect “character/organisation in DC comics” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6167402. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
