By the events of Marvel's Spider-Man, the police had Black Cat's suit and equipment in evidence lockup.

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. Īt an unknown point, she met Spider-Man, and at one point was his love interest and slept with him. As Black Cat, she chose to only steal from well-off people, or those who in her eyes deserved it. To this end, she used upgraded versions of his kit and modeled herself after him.

When Felicia grew up, against her father's wishes, she decided to follow in her father's footsteps, becoming the new Black Cat. 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. Felicia was born in Flushing, New York, no later than 1994.
