Name: Felicia Hardy
Alias: Black Cat
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Side: For the SHR Act
Appearance:
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 120 lbs
Eyes: Green
Hair: Platinum blonde
Features: Bombshell
Mutation/Powers:
Initially, the Black Cat had no superhuman abilities. It was later revealed that she had a latent mutant ability to affect probability fields. This ability was activated through artificial means. It entails that under stress she is subconsciously able to cause anyone in her immediate vicinity that she perceives as a threat to be susceptible to freak accidents, like guns jamming and exploding, or tripping on objects, etc. This ability also had the side effect of eventually causing problems for anyone spending long periods of time around her. Doctor Strange eventually tampered with her powers removing that unwanted side-effect. However this magical tampering temporarily endowed her with cat-like abilities, giving her retractable talons in her fingetips, superhuman speed and strength, and infra-red vision. She lost these abilities as the magic faded.

The Black Cat has reflexes, agility, and stamina of an Olympic level acrobat. She is physically very strong and athletic and has great physical endurance. She is an excellent street fighter capable of taking on several armed male assailants and incapacitating them without being injured herself.
The Black Cat has also acquired several devices from the Tinkerer that increase her agility and heighten her strength. She wears ear rings that interact with the balance centers of her brain to grant her enhanced agility. She has contact lenses that let her see in various spectrums of light, such as infra-red and ultraviolet. Her costume contains micro-servos that enhances her strength above normal human levels, but apparently not quite to a superhuman degree. The gloves of her costume contain steel micro-filaments, which form retractable claws at the fingertips when she flexes her fingers (triggering a magnetic surge which condenses the filaments into polarized talons) which enable her to tear through most surfaces and easily scale walls. In addition to this the costume is extremely distracting and provocative, making it difficult for a male assailant to concentrate on what he is doing. Using this equipment the Black Cat has been able to successfully best enemies who have superhuman abilities.
The Black Cat has a miniature grappling hook device hidden in the "fur" of each glove, which enables her to swing from buildings in a manner similar to Spider-Man, though not quite as fast.
History/Background:
Black Cat is a reformed burglar who continue to walk on the wildside as a detective and adventurer. She's the former girlfriend of Spider-Man, Flash Thompson, and the mercenary known as the Foreigner.
Using her skills as a gymnast and cat burglar, after honing them in a failed attempt at avenging her rape from an ex-boyfriend, she tried to break her father, Walter Hardy - the father she barely knew - out of prison before he died. In the process, she met Spider-Man. Over time, flirtations led to romance with Spider-Man, as Felicia promised to abandon her criminal activities. Spider-Man and the Black Cat often patrolled the city together, with Felicia in love with Spider-Man, the hero. She was reluctant to see Spider-Man unmasked, for fear the excitement of the mysterious romance would be lost.
When Spider-Man finally revealed his face and his modest apartment, Felicia was disillusioned. But, she still cared for him and after almost being killed by Doctor Octopus and the Owl, she felt that she was a burden on her boyfriend and a liability when fighting crime. While Spider-Man was away during the Secret Wars, Felicia made a deal with the Kingpin to gain superpowers - an actual bad luck aura. But the deal soon proved to be a bad move, as she had been "jinxing" Spider-Man by being in his close proximity, just as the Kingpin planned. Spider-Man, frustrated with the relationship, angered that Felicia made the deal with the Kingpin, and tired of her loving Spider-Man more than Peter Parker, broke up with her, right before she was about to selflessly break up with him so that she wouldn't be hurting him anymore by her aura.
Spider-Man went to Doctor Strange to remove her "jinx". Strange eliminated the hex at the source, causing Felicia to lose her bad luck powers but and also gave her more cat-like powers and abilities. She eventually settled into a life of her own, while still trying to maintain a friendship with Spider-Man. Soon she found out that Peter Parker had married Mary Jane Watson, which had angered her to the point that she grabbed and threatened Mary Jane. To spite Peter, she dated Flash Thompson intent on breaking Peter's friend's heart. Over time, she developed genuine feelings for him, but the two broke up. The Black Cat came to Spider-Man's aid when the Chameleon tricked Spider-Man into losing his powers to lead a normal life. Attacked by the Femme Fatales, the Scorpion, and the Tarantula, the Black Cat enabled Spider-Man to reverse the machine that suppressed his powers - at the cost of losing her own.
She has now relies on equipment she purchased from the Tinkerer to replace her lost powers. During Carnage's mass slaughter through the streets of Manhattan (called "Maximum Carnage" by the press), the Black Cat teamed with Spider-Man again and other heroes to stop the killers. Recently she helped Spider-Man break Norman Osborn out of jail in order to rescue a kidnapped Aunt May. She remains one of Spider-Man's closest confidants and allies.
Most recently, she and Spider-Man took on a drug dealer named Mr. Brownstone. She also aided Spidey against the menace of two Lizards.
Sample Post:
She just watches.
The Night was cold, dark and young. Felicia was resting on a crate with her hair flying through the wind all the way up high, Black Cat saw an oppurtunity... an open window. She used a sort-of grappling hook, first wrapping it round her hand before she slammed it into the ground. She put the non-used end into the gun before aiming perfectly with her keen sight and vision, she shot out sending the hook clinging to the opposite building. The cat then grabbed a metal bar that looked like a horseshoe, the free ends snapped together around the wire before Black Cat ran back. Suddenly she sprinted forward and threw herself over the edge making her soar gracefully to the other side. She leaped down through the open window and used her mini-laptop to set up the video on loop. She walked forward and grasped what she wanted.
She just watches... until an oppurtunity arrives.
