Yolanda Montez appears in Stargirl , portrayed by Yvette Monreal. [8] This version is a high school student, a fan of Ted Grant and the ex-girlfriend of Henry King Jr. Three months prior to the series, she became an outcast when her rival, Cindy Burman had leaked revealing photos she had sent to Henry during a school presidential election to ruin her candidacy, which also resulted in her parents revealing their true discussing natures, as they had started to treat Yolanda quite badly for no clear reason at all and had led to her pouring her frustrations into boxing. Yolanda later takes up Grant's identity of Wildcat at Stargirl's request to help rebuild the Justice Society of America (JSA). Yolanda would later go on to forgive Henry before he is killed by his father, Brainwave and avenge him by killing the latter. In the second season, Yolanda becomes a part-time waitress, but suffers from PTSD as a result of her killing Brainwave. This eventually leads her to quit the JSA after suffering hallucinations of Henry and Brainwave, although she later agrees to return to help her friends defeat Eclipso. In the third season, Yolanda moves in with Stargirl's family, as she was finally tired of being constantly abused, disrespected and mistreated by her parents, particularly by her mother, Maria. At the end of the third season, Richard Swift has indirectly implied that Yolanda had ultimately decided to press charges for child abuse against both of her parents, Maria and Juan, after coming to terms with their true natures. But she also keep her membership in the Justice Society of America and her secret identity as "Wildcat" hidden from them, ten years later, she still in the JSA.
