“Cat Man has Nine Lives”

Catman invites an award-winning journalist Lena Long into his cat-cave and reveals his true identity as Grey Greystone. Actually, Grey has nine other secret identities which includes that of Lena Long’s landlord, Catman’s arch-villain, both a President and a Vice President, and a married man with step children…their dad? Another one of Catman’s identities.

Catman is captured and reveals himself a few more identities to Diamond…including that of the laser repair guy. Thanks to Neil Simpson, Diamond goes to jail.

Catman dies and no one shows up to his funeral because he was, in fact, the entire population….or is he? Lena discovers that Catman is actually alive and he faked his own death so he can start over with his life. Catman leaves Lena and drives off into the sunset…as the cabbie.
