In October 1972, Wildcat was his allies of the Justice Society of America, attempting to rid Earth-Two of the threat from a mysterious hand that was gripping the planet... threatening to crush it. Enlisting the aid of the Justice League of Earth-One including that team's Batman, Ted and Bruce... accompanied with their respective teammates... with locating seven missing heroes that were members of Law's Legionnaires... a group of masked men who disappeared in the late 1940s. These brave All-Star avengers had battled the alien Nebula Man, and after destroying the creature were sent to various centuries. This left no memory of their existence. Batman and two others were sent to ancient Egypt, and Wildcat with two others was sent to prehistoric times. They and their fellow heroes retrieved the missing Seven Soldiers of Victory, returning them to the 20th Century in order to use their knowledge to create a nebula rod device that destroyed the giant nebula hand.
A little over a year later, the League's Batman once more met up with his world's Wildcat, who had retired as a masked manhunter in order to become an oil company executive for public relations. Together, they discovered that Grant's new employer Tryton Oil had hired an industrial spy to steal a secret fuel additive formula of a long deceased scientist. This Dutch scientist, Hans Voss, was found by Batman, now an amnesiac due to an explosion from a World War II bombing raid. However, Voss still had a distant memory of his formula, which he carved into a statuette as proof. Together, Wildcat and Batman brought the Tryton Oil executives to justice, with the additive now public domain.
As for the Ted of Earth-One, he lost his fortune from his boxing career when his version of Grants Gym went bankrupt due to a variety of factors. Rather than join fellow superheroes, he joined Tryton Oil as a new career, as he was always a loner and was in need of making a living.
Where would the two Ted Grants and their feline alter egos appear next?
