Anytime Spidey and Black Cat easily my favorite romantic interest of Spidey's get together, it's guaranteed to be good. My favorite Brand New Day issues so far. Aug 28, McKinlay Dennis rated it really liked it Shelves: Mar 22, Ethan rated it really liked it. I never read the Clone Saga. Therefore, the parts of this book regarding it did not bother me.
In fact, I found it rather interesting, adding new elements to the Spider-Man character that I had not seen previously.
Spider-Man – Return of the Black Cat (2010)
As a relatively new addition to the Marvel Comic's universe es readers, I always enjoy learning more about these characters. I may be a bit bias, however, for Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character of all-time, and one of if not my absolute my First off: I may be a bit bias, however, for Spider-Man is my favorite comic book character of all-time, and one of if not my absolute my favorite characters in fiction, period.
How could I not enjoy this? If you are sick and tired of the Clone Saga, this may turn you off, though I still thoroughly enjoyed it. And regardless, the parts of the book that include Felicia Hardy are absolutely superb, and she and Spidey have chemistry as always whether that chemistry is good or bad is, without a doubt, up for debate. Overall, I fail to see how anyone except, perhaps, haters of the Clone Saga could hate this.
It is classic Spidey, even getting a little darker than some writers decide to go, and both fun and thought-provoking. The questions it raises about who Peter Parker really is are almost definitely going to please any fans of the character. Feb 25, Sean rated it it was ok. I was a big fan of the original relationship between Spider-Man and the Black Cat. The dynamics involved, mostly Felicia being almost disgusted by a maskless Spider-Man, were something I don't think I'd ever seen in comics before. Here we have them reuniting and sadly most of Peter's actions seem out of character.
Yes, I understand that Miss Hardy is supposed to be ridiculously sexy but most the time Peter acts like he's fourteen around her here after years of acting normal. Then you have the cl I was a big fan of the original relationship between Spider-Man and the Black Cat. Then you have the clone related arc. I actually enjoyed Ben Reilly and pieces of the clone saga, however this didn't thrill me. Raptor lame 90s dinosaur name could have been easily stopped with a plausible explanation Ben was Peter's cousin instead of everything that went down.
Also there was a huge plan by Peter that completely goes against character by involving a civilian in the middle of a battle. Lastly, the Deadpool story didn't belong in the pages of Spider-Man since it was a just a Deadpool story and the art was atrocious. This trade is supposed to lead up to the big Gauntlet event and this limped into that.
Sadly this is just a hodge podge of bad characterization and miss matched plotlines. This flashback story ties into Peter Parker's present day because an old nemesis of Reilly has tracked Peter down thinking that he is actually his clone, Ben Reilly. This old enemy is out for revenge, and it looks like Collects Amazing Spider-Man issues and material from Web of Spider-Man issue 1 This was a great collection for me, as a fan of the 's Spider-Man story known as "The Clone Saga.

This old enemy is out for revenge, and it looks like Peter may suffer for Ben's past sins. Kaine makes his return to the Spider-Man Universe in this collection as well. The opening story is about Spider-Man and Black Cat teaming up again. The first a Black Cat ark, that's fun and unexpected. Black Cats a way better story than anything with MJ Second, bring out the clones. I never read the clone saga, but I'm familiar with it to a degree. Thought it was intriguing to see how Ben Reilly affected Peter and Kaine is a great villain.
Last, just one issue and maybe my favorite, Deadpool. The two characters that really got me into comics fighting it out. Very fun and had a point that I'm sure will be Awesome book! Very fun and had a point that I'm sure will be crucial in The Gauntlet. Overall really good writing and art. The Deadpool issue art was different, not bad, just not your standard comic book art. Von daher konnte ich es verkraften, dass Black Cat nur im ersten Viertel des Bandes vorkommt. Feb 12, Khairul Hezry rated it it was ok Shelves: The Spidey Clone saga was what made me drop this title all those years ago and reading this book just brought back so many bad memories.
A clone plot is the comic book version of the evil twin brother plot. The issue that featured Deadpool was a bit of a saving grace, however. It promises to lead to Spidey's big event this year: Kraven the Hunter, prepare The Spidey Clone saga was what made me drop this title all those years ago and reading this book just brought back so many bad memories. Kraven the Hunter, prepares for the final kill.
Seen it, done that but I'll read that instead of another clone story any day. Apr 09, Eric Mikols rated it really liked it Shelves: I give take or leave Black Cat. She's too obvious of a Catwoman clone but she works well as a Spider-Man character nonetheless. The four stars, however, is earned by the last, single issue that features Deadpool.

Sure, he's just giving Spidey a hard time, but Kelly writes Wade Wilson the way I remember from his early solo series. Jun 16, Trashy Dreams rated it it was ok. Pisses me off when hot-shot artists just do covers and stuff like that. Aug 26, Talk Comix rated it it was ok. Afterwards she and Spider-Man make peace, and later Eddie Brock convinces Black Cat to give up being a crime boss and go back to being a vigilante. During Marvel's "Fresh Start," Black Cat teamed up with Spider-Man to confront the Thieves Guild, a group of robbers established hundreds of years ago that was trying to make their name known again by stealing the equipment of various super heroes.
As an honorary member of the Guild, she was able to allow the two to break in and fight off Guild members until the rest of the heroes showed up to reclaim their items. Later that night, Felicia tells Spider-Man that her dark place didn't start when Doctor Octopus arrested her, but instead when she forgot Spider-Man's secret identity as a result of Doctor Strange making everyone forget it after Civil War, feeling that she lost a significant part of her life in the process.
In response, Peter takes off his mask and reveals his secret to Felicia. She tears and shares a hug with Peter. Initially, the Black Cat had no superhuman abilities. Later, a test induced by the Kingpin gave her the psionic ability to affect probability fields; essentially, she could produce "bad luck" for her enemies. This ability also had the side effect of eventually causing problems for anyone spending long periods of time around her.
Doctor Strange eventually tampered with her powers that briefly removed her bad luck abilities, along with the unwanted side effect.
Black Cat (Marvel Comics)
However, this magical tampering temporarily endowed her with cat-like abilities, giving her night vision , retractable talons in her fingertips, superhuman speed, strength, agility and endurance, proportionate to a cat. The Black Cat has reflexes, agility, and stamina of an Olympic level acrobat.
She is physically very strong and athletic and has great physical endurance. She is an excellent street fighter capable of taking on several armed assailants and incapacitating them without being injured herself. She is trained in several martial arts styles, including Judo and Goju Ryu Karate. Hardy is a talented photographer; while dating Spider-Man she takes pictures of the hero that he admits are better than his own work.
The Black Cat has also acquired several devices from the Tinkerer that increase her agility and heighten her strength. She wears earrings that interact with the balance centers of her brain to grant her enhanced agility.
She has contact lenses that let her see in various ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet. Her costume contains micro- servos that enhance her strength above normal human levels. The gloves of her costume contain steel micro-filaments, which form retractable claws at the fingertips when she flexes her fingers triggering a magnetic surge which condenses the filaments into polarized talons which enable her to tear through most surfaces and easily scale walls.
Using this equipment, the Black Cat has been able to beat enemies who have superhuman abilities. The Black Cat has a miniature grappling hook device hidden in the "fur" of each glove, designed by her father Walter Hardy , which enables her to swing from buildings in a manner similar to Spider-Man, though not quite as fast.
She can also use the cable from this device as a tightrope, wall scaling device, swing line, or as a weapon in combat. Black Cat was ranked as the nd greatest comic book character of all time by Wizard magazine. The Kingpin knows this and has Bullseye and Elektra beat her, while he throws her out a window. She survives and tells Luke that they have been set up, along with the Wolfpack and the Dragons.
She takes part in the final battle at Genosha. In issue 14 of vol 1 of this all-ages series, Spider-Man battles the Black Cat. In the Marvel Mangaverse continuity, Black Cat is cybernetically enhanced. She was originally a simple thief, who stole a cursed magical amulet for its monetary value, but this act attracted the attention of Matt Murdock, the Devil Hunter , and she was cut in half. The Kingpin of Crime reconstructed her body with cybernetics, including a shut-down mechanism he planned to activate if she failed to serve him.
After completing her mission for the Kingpin, he claimed to have permanently deactivated the mechanism, but whether he kept his word or not remains to be seen. She is still Spider-Man 's old flame, but in the New Mangaverse storyline with Spider-Man having chosen Mary Jane Watson over her she is trying to move on, and is now showing a romantic interest in Wolverine though by the end of the story arc it is clear that she has a hidden agenda as she is later seen with Nick Fury.

A zombified Black Cat is briefly seen battling Iron Fist. He punches a hole straight through her. However, somehow in Marvel Zombies: Dead Days during events set after her appearance above which happened in Marvel Zombies vs. The Army of Darkness , she appears alive and well, also uninfected on one of S. Their Reed Richards is evil. A lot of the costumes are from different eras in our world. We assumed it was obvious from the context that in the MZ world, Felicia Hardy has a twin sister, Felicity Hardy, who is the costumed adventurer known as Night Cat.
She has begun a romantic relationship with Diana, a woman she works with, a fact that has produced tension between herself and her daughter. Felecia is an anthropomorphic black cat in this reality from a Secret Wars Battleworld, where she is a crime boss and known as "The Cat Lady. Howard figured out that the informant was playing possum on orders from a simian version of Wilson Fisk who wanted to take his main rival, the Cat Lady, down.
She confronts him and Adrian Toomes at a bar but they are both arrested as Howard planned. Howard kept the informant, Peter Possum, alive to get the reward money from the district attorney and to have Peter testify against Felecia. Issue 1 of Spider-Man: Mary Jane owns a black cat named Felicia. Eyes without a Face , she takes on a more prominent role, sheltering Peter after he is almost killed by Sandman , as well as dating Crime Master. Like most incarnations, Felicia has a relationship with Spider-Man Noir. Crime Master slashes her when he finds out about this, but before passing out, she alerts the FBI that he is in league with Otto Octavius and his inhumane experiments.
The final panel of the series shows her with a mask similar to Madame Masque , angrily refusing to see Spider-Man since she blames him for her scars. During the Spider-Verse storyline, she was assaulted by Kingpin and his men in hopes of extracting the identity of Spider-Man, but with nothing to lose anymore she retains her silence. She was then used as a hostage to lure Spider-Man in accepting Mysterio's challenge.
After the battle, she would secretly grab the blood of Spider-Man which was extracted earlier to avoid it falling into Mysterio's hands. She would later appear tending to an injured Spider-Man Noir accompanied by Silk and Spider-Woman while on the run from the Inheritors. Felicia Hardy makes her appearance in issue 17 of the series. She is a teenager who transfers to the same high school attended by Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. Felicia is considered "bad luck" due to her violent past and confrontational personality.
She flirts with Flash and challenges his girlfriend, Liz Allan , to a fight, which was merely a ruse to establish her reputation as a girl not to be messed with. A different version of Felicia Hardy is part of a team led by Brother Voodoo. Unlike her counterpart, this version of Black Cat possesses enchanted vocal abilities that allow her to alter the outcomes of events by speaking certain phrases aloud.
For example, at one point, saying "Break" causes a noose to snap. This ability is shown to be useless once Jack O'Lantern tapes Felicia's mouth shut. Seeking revenge, she stole a priceless tablet that he was going to use on his comatose wife. Kingpin hired the assassin Elektra to retrieve it. When Black Cat threw it into the harbor, Elektra threw one of her sai into the Black Cat's chest, sending the thief over the edge. She was presumed dead, though no body was found. She later returned during a gang war, stopping Hammerhead from shooting Spider-Man in the right temple.
Later, after the crisis was resolved, she passionately kissed Spider-Man through his mask, her previous interest in him having gotten stronger. She had apparently no idea of the age disparity between her and Peter, and mistakenly assumed, after he left in a rush, that he was a married man. When she managed to unmask him and realized how young he truly was, she was repulsed. The shock and embarrassment of such a discovery caused her to vomit on his costume.
However, Mysterio beats her to it. Mysterio, knowing that it contained great power, tried to steal it from her. Felicia tried to wish Mysterio to go away, but instead she accidentally caused the key to create a massive explosion. Shocked by what she did, she handed it over to Mysterio. Spider-Man came to the scene with Iron Man. Spider-Man won and then both he and Felicia decided to help the people who were caught in the middle of Felicia's mistake. In this version, the Black Cat actually has short brunette hair, but wears a white-haired wig as part of her costume.
On Earth , Felicia and her father are French and professional burglars. Felicia went on to become a famous musician after singing in the streets and has a band called the Black Cats. She had a concert in New York with Mary Jane as the opening act to which she invited Murdock with the intention to kill him. While there, Murdock unleashes the Hand where she is defended by Spider-Woman. When she attempts to kill Matt, Spider-Woman knocks her out. In the What If? After Spider-Man's funeral, she is contacted by the Kingpin, who helps her develop a weapon that will kill the symbiote in exchange for a lifetime of service from her; despite the heroes having already defeated the symbiote thanks to the actions of Thor and Black Bolt , with Doctor Strange being about to banish it, Felicia kills the symbiote anyway, subsequently berating the heroes for not knowing the price she had to pay to ensure that justice was done.
In another storyline, Spider-Man marries the Black Cat rather than Mary Jane - Alistair Smythe 's attack having left Mary Jane injured in this reality, leaving Peter doubting his ability to look after her, with he and Felicia rekindling their romance while fighting supervillains together, but their relationship is complicated by such factors as Peter and Felicia being unable to live together in order to preserve his secret identity. After Felicia's carelessness results in Spider-Man's identity being discovered by an unidentified informant, combined with her own jealousy over Peter's continued friendship with Mary Jane, she is killed by Paladin after he mistakenly assumes she attempted to kill Mary Jane, resulting in Peter forming a romantic relationship with Silver Sable as the two bond over their shared grief at the loss of their loved ones.
Black Cat appeared in early scripts for Spider-Man 2 in a subplot in which she tries to convince Spider-Man to give up being Peter Parker. This idea was to contrast the other subplot of Peter giving up being Spider-Man. Instead, Raimi's Felicia was expected to become a new super-powered figure called the Vulturess. It is intended to be a part of a shared universe called Sony's Marvel Universe , centered on characters from the Spider-Man mythology, beginning with Venom in The films will be more adult-oriented and though they take place in the "same reality" as the Marvel Cinematic Universe , they will not crossover with each other.
