The Black Cat

I first fell in love with the Black Cat when she appeared on the Spiderman cartoons I so faithfully followed on television.  She liked Spidey a great deal, but Spidey was already attached to Mary Jane, so it wouldn't work out.  She was strong in her own way, and yet so frail when it came to the affairs of the heart.  To escape it all she just put everything she had into her work.  She has quite a smattering of witty lines, and never for more than a split moment shows her pain.  But I saw that split moment, and I know quite a number who saw it, and fell in love too.

 

Bio-Data

Real name: Felicia Hardy
First appearance: Amazing Spider-Man 194
Favorite quote: "Get your tentacles off my wall-crawler, four-eyes!" (To Doctor Octopus in Spectacular Spider-Man 75.)
Team affiliation: A loner when she was a jewel thief, Felicia reformed somewhat when she dated Spiderman. They shared many adventures and broke up twice (Spectacular Spider-Man 100 and for good in Spectacular Spider-Man 129). Nowadays, Felicia works alone, although she often teams with Spidey and was one of a massive team of super heroes during the Maximum Carnage storyline. (That awful costume she wore during M.C., though--shudder )
Powers: Currently, Felicia has no superpowers. As a result of a deal with the Kingpin, she for a time possessed a sporadic "bad luck" ability.
