"We came to the conclusion that for the hero we were going to appoint a captain would be the best service rank. This is already a very decent charge, and at the same time such an officer can still be young and already mature. (...) The original design we did not have. We decided to match the physiognomy of the most handsome officer. (...) On the other hand, Wildcat's personality is a combination of traits of many officers I knew and worked with," explains the circumstances of Wildcat's "birth" Krupka and goes on to say:"We decided to create an unambiguously good character. In fact, a somewhat official character came out of it, and today I regret that we did not make him more ordinary. We very often wondered, for example, whether Wildcat should start a family or at least have a girlfriend" (source: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kapitan_Żbik)
