Grifter (Cole Cash) is a fictional comic book superhero who has appeared in books published by Wildstorm Productions and DC Comics. Created by artist Jim Lee and writer Brandon Choi, he first appeared in ''WildC.A.T.s'' #1 (August 1992), as a member of that titular superhero team, during the period when Wildstorm and its properties were owned by Jim Lee. In that incarnation, Grifter is a former government operative and member of the military unit Team 7 and the espionage agency International Operations. In 1999, Lee sold Wildstorm to DC Comics, and ownership of all Wildstorm characters, including Grifter, transferred to DC Comics. His backstory and continuity remained the same, however, until DC's 2011 relaunch of their entire comics line, The New 52, which rebooted the continuity for most of its characters. Since then, the character has starred in his own DC series, and has also made appearances in numerous other DC titles, such as ''Voodoo'', ''Legion Lost'', ''Team 7'', ''Animal Man'' and ''Deathstroke''. The character was also a cast member in the 1994 - 95 animated TV series ''Wild C.A.T.s'', in which he was voiced by Colin O'Meara. ==Publication history== The character debuted in ''WildC.A.T.S.'' #1 (August 1992). He was later a major character in the original ''Team 7'' miniseries. In 1997, co-creator Brandon Choi picked this mini-series as his favorite Grifter story, explaining, "I really enjoyed () Chuck Dixon's portrayal of the team members, especially Cole. He really wove Cole's background into the whole Team 7 story in a very believable fashion." In June 2011, DC Comics announced that Grifter would be incorporated into the DC Universe in a new ongoing series written by Nathan Edmondson and drawn by CAFU as part of its September 2011 relaunch of its comics properties. Beginning with ''Grifter'' #9 in May 2012, series writer Nathan Edmondson was replaced with Rob Liefeld.〔Renaud, Jeffrey (January 19, 2012).
