Felicia Hardy

==History==
===Early history===
Felicia was born in Flushing, New York, 1997. She is the only daughter of former cat-burglar Walter Hardy, the original Black Cat, who faked his death in 1998 to prevent the Maggia crime families from coming after her after he refused to work for them.
When Felicia grew up, against her father's wishes, she decided to follow in her father's footsteps, becoming the new Black Cat. To this end, she used upgraded versions of his kit and modeled herself after him. As Black Cat, she chose to only steal from well-off people, or those who in her eyes deserved it.
At an unknown point, she met Spider-Man, and at one point was his love interest and slept with him. During this time, Black Cat gave up her criminal ways and Spider-Man attempted to train her; though she was good at first, the partnership ended when he learned she was stealing from some of the criminals they took down, which he confirmed after seeing the stolen loot at her home. the police had Black Cat's suit and equipment in evidence lockup.
Black Cat struck a deal with Maggia mobster Hammerhead where she agreed to steal flash drives with financial data on the mobs, which he wanted to use for a power play on the other dons, though she planned to steal their wealth for herself and give him fake drives. Needing to rob the police evidence lockup to retrieve her equipment for the task, Black Cat stole $50,000,000 worth of loot and set up several at the site of each robbery, where she had robbed wealthy individuals including lawyers and Wall Street people.
In "Stakeout", Black Cat then called Spider-Man from an unknown number luring him to find them, claiming she was trying to steal $50,000,000 but promised to give it all back and go straight if Spider-Man found her first. Black Cat's real plan was to distract Spider-Man by leading him to her Freedom Tunnel base while also having him deliver the dolls to police captain Yuriko Watanabe so that, once all in the evidence lockup, they would link up and boost their signal, deactivating the alarms. In "Cat's Cradle", Spider-Man fell for this trap and Black Cat was able to steal her things undetected. She left behind a costume and a recording for Spider-Man, who deduced that if she stole $50,000,000 just for her equipment, she had bigger plans.
