Something I have long wondered, is why does she not have more defining cat-like features as part of her outfit? In most versions, she lacks cat ears of any kind, and even more rarely has a tail. The only indication that she is depicting a cat is her retractable claws, as far as I can tell.

There are a couple of versions that have ears (Ultimate Spider-Man, and an appearance where she interacts with Wolverine), and only one that I can think of that has a tail (her second USM appearance). Personally, I think she looks better with ears, as her costume seems...incomplete without them. Your thoughts on this consistent omission in her costume design?

Hey um is it just me or does anyone else really like black cats fur cuffs I think they might be because I like them a lot they turn me on just looking at them.

In this subreddit I saw that moslty man post here, and it´s a lot of things that we´re in love of this character; ther personality, costume, stories.

But, I wonder if females are interested in this character. I mean, she is a woman that is independent, has a big backgroud, the stories where she is a protagonist... So, what are the things that make interested or make you feel identificated with her?

I have seen people compare Nightwing to Spiderman in personality so I am wondering do you think Felicia and Dick Grayson are compatible romantically? Or do you think Dick would still choose Babs over Felicia and Felicia still like Peter more?

(This is coming from a Black Cat fan) First of all, How do you know if she is a Catwoman ripoff? Have you read any of Black Cat's most important comics? Do you know her origin? Her personality? Or are you just being quick to judge? And how is it me liking Black Cat more than Catwoman is a huge problem when EVERYONE LOVES DEADPOOL MORE THAN DEATHSTROKE?!?! If anything, Deadpool is more of a Deathstroke ripoff than Black Cat is a Catwoman ripoff. Even the writers of Deadpool even admitted that he is meant to be a parody knockoff of Deathstroke. Explains the similar names. (Deathstroke: Slade Wilson / Deadpool: Wade Wilson) If that was Black Cat's case, then Black Cat would've been named something like "Elena Kyle" instead of Felicia Hardy considering Catwoman's name is Selena Kyle and Black Cat would've been given a whip. But that didn't happen. Black Cat's writers even said and confirmed that he didn't even thought of Catwoman while writing Black Cat. And Black Cat was actually inspired by a cartoon he watched "Tex Avery's Bad Luck Blackie." That cartoon features a kitten enlisting a professional black cat to curse the bulldog that torments him with a string of bad luck. They are more different than they are similar. How? Yes, the only similarities they have is that They are both Cat Burglars with cat themed costumes and They both were in relationships with Marvel's and DC's most popular heroes. (Spider-Man and Batman)

But the difference between them is Black Cat's origin is more easy to understand and more relatable. When Felicia Hardy was a child, her father Walter Hardy was a Cat Burglar. When Felicia was a college student, She got molested by her boyfriend at the time. Then she started training to fight so she could have revenge and kill her boyfriend until she found out he died from an accident. So then she started using her abilities to break her father out of jail and that's how she got introduced to Spider-Man. Catwoman's origin is a mess. Some comics like her first appearance or other media doesn't even give her an origin. Some comics or media portray her as Carmine Falcone's daughter and he abandoned her. And here is Tim Burton's and that spinoff movie we don't speak of to add all the confusion. So yea. Black Cat has the better origin.

Another difference is motivation. Black Cat's motivation of what she does is She likes the thrill of being a thief and she also does it to continue her father's legacy as a cat burglar. Catwoman on the other hand, as far as my understanding goes, She does what she does out of necessity and survival.

Another difference is Powers and Abilities. Black Cat literally has Cat Powers. She has Cat speed and agility where she can catch up to Spider-Man and she can sneak quietly like a cat, she has her own set of gadgets,(Grappling hooks, High Heels with built-in tasers, Night vision attatched to her mask, electromagnetic contact lenses and earrings, etc) also if you look directly at the eyes, she'll give you bad luck. Which I find neat considering her name is Black Cat. Catwoman is only a human that is better at hand to hand combat and only has a whip. (Sometimes she'll have goggles too, but not often as Black Cat) The only gadget and ability they both have are obviously the cat claws.

And last difference is their personality. Black Cat is more Fun, Flirty, Confident and Rebellious Whereas Catwoman is more Dark, Focused, Independent and Serious

Overall, Black Cat is a more better character from origin, personality, and gadgets, powers and abilities.

Not necessarily huge arcs, but 1-2 issue stories that could work for them at this stage of their lives? For example:

• Flash Thompson Team-up. Flash is how Felicia learned to love Peter, and (to my knowledge) they haven't really explored Flash knowing that Peter is Spider-Man much.
• Fighting Doctor Octopus/Superior Spider-Man. He basically pushed Felicia to the worst point of her life and has repeatedly been a menace to her specifically.
• Teaming with Daredevil. Addressing the Elephant in the room.
• Teaming with Silk. Black Cat was the main bad guy of her solo book, so they can show progress since these two are usually displayed as friends in the Pride/Women of Marvel books.
• Teaming with Night-Spider somehow. It has to happen eventually.
• Another Symbiote battle. Felicia was Peter's Girlfriend when Peter got it. Furthering that story would be interesting.
• Teaming with The Lizard. Black Cat's full redemption after gaining back her memories came from protecting Billy Connors from Arcade & Kraven. I could see her being on good terms with the Lizard.
• Peter & Felicia having a meal with Peter's Aunt & Felicia's Mom. Seems like it could make a cute scene.
• Team up with Miles & Starling. They're often seen as equivalents.
• Teaming with the Fantastic Four. They both broke into their building.

Just an honest question, what do you think her natural smell is, Good? Bad? I would think she smells pretty good but maybe after like fighting thugs in the city and stuff she could stink maybe just a little bit? Not sure but what to yall think?
