Hallocat is a mutant cat, a member of the Uncanny Trio, and enemy of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Archie Adventure Series
Hallocat (previously known as ‘Pookey’ before the mutation) was a truckers pet cat, his owner had been illegally dumping toxic waste for a chemical plant whose foreman did not want to dispose of the waste properly in an effort to cut costs. One day, Pookey got under the foreman’s feet, tripping him. In a fit of anger, the foreman picked him up and threw him into a vat of toxic waste (which was actually mutagen). He believed the cat to be killed. Instead, the cat mutated.
