The Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) is a fictional character, a superheroine in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Keith Pollard, she first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #194 (July 1979).
Felicia Hardy is the daughter of a world-renowned cat burglar, who always told his daughter she should never settle for second best. As a freshman at college, Felicia was raped by her boyfriend, Ryan. Traumatized, and disgusted of the idea of being a victim, she trained herself in various fighting styles and acrobatics for months with the intent on killing Ryan. Finally, after months of preparing, she discovered that Ryan was killed in a drunk driving accident, thus denying her chance for revenge. Felicia decided to use her new skills to follow in her father's footsteps. After amassing a fortune in stolen items, Felicia adopted her costumed identity as the Black Cat.
