Fictional character biography

[change | change source]

Streaky was being chased by three dogs when he accidentally entered a laboratory he thought was the veterinarian's office. He accidentally turned on a doubling ray that duplicated everything in the laboratory. His best friend Krypto deflected the ray with his super coat and it hit Streaky. Instead of copying Krypto, the ray copied his powers onto Streaky, turning him into Supercat.

As Supercat, Streaky helps Krypto, as well as other heroes like Ace, the Dog Stars and Stretch-O-Mutt, fight crime.
