The SECRET Black Cat Spider-Woman Connection!

[@davidgranados1608]

When they dated, I thought it was interesting how she preferred the Spider-Man persona over Peter Parker. To the point where she hated seeing him in his civilian identity.

[@MysteryFoxx3506]

I always thought the simple addition of Black Cat having actual superpowers separated her from Catwoman but much like Spiderwoman that’s been so inconsistent over the years I have no idea what she can do now… So yeah, I would enjoy that powers video if you don’t mind.

[@DIEGhostfish]

The decision that she was only prepping her battlefields rather than having actual luck did lead to interesting character drama with Spidey flipping out that since she's now trying to be a hero the villains are going to be picking the battlefields. But I did sort of like her with the vague luck power. Put her in a team with Longshot, Domino, that one Irish hero chick and some of the other luck heroes as a gag one-off. See if you can get John Jackson Miller to write it, he wrote outrageous swings of luck very well in his Star Wars KotOR comic.

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

Same. It adds another layer to the character.

[@227060]

I feel the key difference is that Felicia is ultimately a thrill seeker who is WRONG for Spidey whilst Selina has deeper motives behind what she does and is ironically Bruce's perfect woman. I think catwoman also has a longer history of being on the good side whereas Black Cat has flitted between them more

[@vic5015]

Felicia and Selina are very similar. So much so that I'm surprised DC hasn't sued Marvel. Both, however, could be said to draw from similar source material: the idea of a film noir femme Fatale Cat burglar. Similarly, both DC and Marvel have supervillains named The Enchantress. But the concept of a seductive femme Fatale who uses her sexuality to manipulate men is one that exists throughout mythology and legends across cultures. Neither DC nor Marvel originated the idea, so neither one owns it and, therefore, they cannot sue over it.

[@jhornacek]

She originally didn't have powers. In her next appearance they revealed that she would go to certain places and set traps, then lead people there and things would go wrong and she'd claim it was her "bad luck powers". Eventually she and Spidey became a couple but he worried about her getting hurt fighting villains. So she went and got actual bad-luck powers from scientists who turned out to be working for the Kingpin. She had lost and regained these powers over the years so I don't really know if she still has them now.

[@robsyers8647]

Lois marrying The Enchantress while a desperate Superman says "Lois will marry a villianess, and there's nothing I can do about it because I'm weak to magic!" Lois marrying Lana Lang, Lori Lamaris and Lex Luthor while Superman thinks "I can't believe they let me out of their polyamorous collective!" ... do someone knows Kerry Callen's phone number?

[@timross5351]

Although I can't deny that the characters are very similar, somehow Felicia's personality as an individual seems to shine through all of her writers. I think part of this is how the brightness and fun (dare I say Manic Pixie Dream Girl in 2022?) contrasts with the femme fatale aspect. It is almost as if Catwoman is moving more toward being like Black Cat. The real difference between them could easily have been the fact that Felicia had super powers, but somehow it is deeper than that. She channels a lot of 'crazy ex-girlfiend that you should not like but do' energy, unlike Catwoman who somehow seems more genuinely dangerous. I wonder whether they are the same being in the Amalgam universe.

To me they are both studies in how we deal with trauma, but different kinds of trauma. Batman is how we deal with trauma from one major event while spidey is about being selfless depiste the many "traumas" of everyday life and compounding major trauma. The feels of their worlds are different sure. I still see them as mirrors of each other kinda.

[@Noahs_Chair]

IDK, it's not really a "this is the same" to me as much as "I could be reading the better one" since the Black Cat personality anoys me more than anything and I don't think a Femme fatal works nearly as well with a joking character like Spiderman than a more stoic presence like Batman. Specially since unlike Bruce, Peter is always on romantic triangles bullshit which gets really annoying but I will admit that's more a general problem than a Black Cat specific problem. It just hurts her more than others.

[@Lukecash2]

My biggest complain was Kevins Smiths story. One of the things I loved about Black Cat was the fact she did love her father and wanted to be like him. It was a refreshing reason to be a bad guy. The whole date rape aspect aspect Kevin Smith just turned her into a cheap revenge origin and cast an unnecessary dark shadow on a fun character.

[@wdcain1]

That story upsets me so much. The art is amazing and the first three issues are legit great. I'd just retcon it that was all just fake illusions Mysterio pulled.

[@ExeErdna]

Her story was already "Dark" because she always knew about her father's actions and how all her wealth is because of things he did. Her burden was her legacy, edge for edgy sake isn't good storytelling

[@jhornacek]

It's like there's a rule in comics (or fiction) that if there's a well written and established female character, eventually some male writer will want to write a story where either she gets raped or it's revealed she was raped in her past.

[@tomcruisenukedmyaccount5388]

Kevin Smith is a trash edgelord. I also hate what he did to Karen Page.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

They need to stop giving Kevin Smith comics to ruin. Thanks to him, we will now forever know that in the legendary and iconic Year One scene where Batman smashes in the wall and tells the rulers of Gotham that they will no longer act with impunity, he had pee trickling into his boots.

[@thebandwagonfanpodcast]

Black Cat has always been a fun character, especially after the 90s Spidey cartoon. Yeah, you can make the Catwoman comparison but there's still enough for them to be distinct.

[@johnmattson8280]

I recall a time when Felicia was dating Flash Thompson. It was a running subplot and even had at least one double date with Peter and MJ. It was ended when Felicia confessed she started it only to make Peter jealous. I do wish they'd touched back on this when Flash was Venom as it could have been amusing.

[@GenerationWest]

That whole debate about Catwoman and Black Cat being a "copycat"... Heh, is so funny, because just doing a little bit of research, Catwoman was nothing Black Cat around this time, not until the 80's and 90's, then really when she was redesigned by Darwyn Cooke. Other than the flirting, you can say Catwoman took cues from Black Cat. If the 1994 series (which she's the Gwen Stacy standin for the most of the show, and then becomes a ripped super soldier Black Cat) I don't know if she'd be that well known, everywhere, or a J. Scott Campbell CoverGirl icon that she is today. Also, my boy from Insomniac Games Spider-Man was hit by Black Cat's greatest weapon: The thought of being a father.

[@RobertJazo]

I was around at the time and bought the comic she first appeared in off the rack and at the time I thought she was a bit of a rip off of Catwoman. Specifically, she reminded me of the Julie Newmar version of Catwoman from the old Batman TV series. This isn't to take away from Black Cat as a character, and I'll admit that once you look into her journey from idea to the comics page it doesn't look like it was an intentional attempt to rip off by Catwoman by her creators.

[@Lukecash2]

Catwoman had several different designs throughout her years. But Julie Newmar pulled off the black spandex that both Black Cat and Later Catwoman adopted. But Selina has been on the prowl, pulling of cat burglaries since the beginning. Often hopping around rooftops. The only difference was she wore a long dress. Cook only created a really great fictional suit for her.

[@Melkac]

Might want to call it Insomniac Spider-Man or Gamerverse Spider-Man, I thought you were talking about the PS1 game for a bit.

[@willejones1918]

[@Mymloch]

For me, it's not so much of a "will they, won't they" with Felicia and Peter... As far as I'm concerned, the Spectacular Spider-Man run from '83 to '87 clearly shows that "they already did.... a lot". I really enjoyed them as a pair in that time, as she was pretty much in every issue for 4 years or so.

[@citpeks2000]

I bought these issues at the newstand when I was a kid, and I remember liking the Black Cat a lot. I haven't re-read them in 30+ years, so I have no idea how adult me would feel about it, but at the time the stories did the job they were supposed to and got me to buy more issues.

[@renosh1323]

I think Black Cat's costume looks like it is based after the original Black Cat where the current Catwoman is more based after Miss. Fury. The protagonist being attracted to bad girl(or boy) in hopes to change them or walk the dark side didn't start with Batman and Catwoman but that is a very popular one. Terry and the Pirates I think did it first with the Dragon Lady but she wasn't 'cat' themed which is where I think the main connection people see Catwoman and Black Cat having in common with the purrrfect pussy-cat puns.

[@fennerarmstrong3346]

[@sneakyskunk1]

That rant about Betty was, hands down, one of the best things in this video. I have never agreed more with(and laughed so hard at) a point being made.

The Black Cat/Felicia has been always a mysterious character to me, the first time I read about her she was shot to death. When I was a child and long before I started to collect comics, I used to read every comic that come to my hands, some of them of Siperman's, I don't remember the title of the issue but it was the very first I read with Black Cat/ Felicia in and it was the conclusion of an arc when they face Doctor Octopus, the issue started with them badly injured, Doc Ock's artificial arms splattered but still moving and Black Cat sacrifices herself to save Spiderman from been shot to death, luckily in spite of her wounds Felicia survives. I was like 9 or 10 years old, it was the first time I saw that kind of violence in a Spiderman story and in a comic book - my only reference so far then were some reprints from the Comic Code era and the TV cartoons from the 60's and even though there were some guns and shots, there were no blood. Speaking of cartoons: Now after watched this video I cannot stop imagining how would it bee and appearance of Black Cat on the Spiderwoman's cartoons if she was a villain to Jessica Drew's. Now let me talk you a story: back then when I was a child, at the 80s, it happened that time - and it happens pretty much the same right now-, that the one Mexican editorial company had acquired both DC and Marvel rights to reprint and translate to Spanish and make some adaptations to the most popular titles of both companies in order to make them more relatable to Latinamerican countries - that's why in Mexico and Latinamerica Batman, Robin, Batgirl, as the main example of it, them kept their superhero name but used to have secret identities in Spanish, being Bruno Díaz, Ricardo Tapia and Bárbara Fierro (that makes her father el Comisionado Fierro) repectively; sometimes the names of some heroes and or support characters were translated too, like Mujer Maravilla for Wonder Woman and we used to pronounce her name Diana as it sounds in Spanish - actually is the same name with the same spelling- and Prince was kept, almost the same case but slightly different is Lois Lane's case who we used to call Luisa Lane (keeping the phonetic sound not so much the correct pronunciation of their last names in English); and one special case is Catwoman's who was given the name Gatúbela instead of Mujer gato. In the case of Marvel characters the translation was not so much of the secret identities but mostly of the name of the heroes: Hombre Araña, Mujer Araña Doctor Pulpo, Duende verde, la Gata Negra; Los Hombres X: Profesor X, Cíclope, Chica Marvel, Bestia, Hombre de hielo, Ángel, Glotón for Wolverine, Tormenta; Los Vengadores: Capitán América, Hombre de Hierro, Viuda Negra, Hombre Hormiga, Bruja Escarlata, la Avispa, Visión; Los Cuatro Fantásticos: Hombre increíble sometimes also known as el Hombre elástico, la Mujer Invisible, la Antorcha humana, and as for the Thing the literal translation "la Cosa" didn't work for them so they decided to call him la Mole (please do not mistake it for the traditional Mexican dish which name is spelled and pronounced the same "mole") which means huge massive object or material. I am so sorry I've written like an ancient scroll here.

[@MrKodachii]

Man I would love to see a Black Cat movie done right. She was always in interesting character for me.

[@Neo232100]

It should also be noted that, for me, one of the reasons I like Black Cat as a love interest for Peter is that there are opportunities for interesting stories with the two, such as Felicia initially only really caring for Spider-Man over Peter, but coming to realize that attitude is wrong and other potential things, I also do like that the two are somewhat of a match for each other, both in sense of humor and abilities.

Typhoid Mary, the first female villain who straight up tried to kill a hero appeared just a couple months after ASM #300 and she also nailed Daredevil.

I can't think of any examples where it leads to anything good for the character that catches it, they either reset to what they were before they caught it, or get fridged.

"Betty and Ned both catch a case of what I like to call 'satellite syndrome'. it happens when characters become caricatures (sometimes permanently but not always) to make whomever the focal point of the plot is more interesting." You've pretty much described every supporting character throughout Spidey's history. They all act like this, even going back to the Lee/Ditko era. And don't be too quick to let Peter off the hook here - Betty had just gotten married, left Ned on their honeymoon, came back to New York, went to see Peter, and they slept together. So Peter had an affair with a married woman.

They are both solitary but they could absolutely have a jealousy component over each other: black cat because Jess can seduce almost anyone without even trying and Spiderwoman because Selina could live a normal life and chooses not to

Black Cat might fight Spiderman but I don't think she's ever put him into actual death traps like Catwoman has done to Batman but when they are a couple Batman and Catwoman tend to work really well . So one hates half of who you are while the other used to try and kill you with no remorse.

I didn't read a lot of early Batman comics, but for what little I saw, at the beginning it looked like Catwoman didn't feel that strong of an attraction to Batman but used his infatuation with her as an advantage. That, of course, changed over the years

Fun enough I love spider man and Batman as superheroes but never really confused the 3 cat burglar villains except by name. tbf their names are a descriptor with "cat" stapled on it. I think its because their personality is distinct enough and motivations strong enough to tell them apart. Black Cat does her villiany for fun and actively chases spiderman for the joy of it. she is the center of attention and only leaves when she is finished. Catwoman is doing crimes for a purpose, though what that is changes depending on the writer. She is focused on her hits and usually uses every angle to get her prizes. Her interest in batman has always been more convenient, she flirts with him because he decided to show up and stop her. She rarely if ever goes to batman and will only begrudgingly help him. Basically black cat is down for anything she feels like doing, while catwoman got shit to do.

Not really a Black Cat comment, but I loved the shout out to the old letters columns!

Ever saw the Spectacular Spider-man episode where Felicia's father was the burglar who killed Peter's uncle? Great twist.

Black Cat had a mini series, in the 90s. :) Also, yes, I am a fan of Black Cat, and have a tattoo of her, on my back. :)

It would be nice to see a little more content on comics outside of Marvel & DC. AWA Upshot are doing some great titles recently!

[@Neo232100]

I don't know why but I just really enjoy the nasally voice she gives Peter. It's kinda great. XD

*Looks at my collection of all Black Cat appearances in comics and my Black Cat figure I have next my desk* Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a fan.

Please read What If vol. 2 issues 20 and 21 (What if Spider-Man had not married Mary Jane, What if Spider-Man had married Black Cat) to see some WILD STUFF. Might be best after looking at more main canon stuff, but I think that story arc is just nifty and insane.
