Streaky is Supergirl's pet cat who gains superpowers from a variety of kryptonite she created while attempting to neutralize its effects. He was one of several superpowered animal characters created during the Silver Age of Comic Books.[3][4][5]
Streaky made sporadic appearances in comics through the 1960s and joined the Legion of Super-Pets, a group consisting of the aforementioned super-powered animals.[6]
In The Sandman Saga, Streaky loses his powers after all kryptonite is transformed into iron.[7][8] Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths reboot, various characters inspired by Streaky appear before the original Streaky is reintroduced in Super Sons Annual (2017).[9][10]
