Black Cat (Marvel)

Felicia Hardy grew up as the daughter of a master burglar and first became the Black Cat in order to break him out of prison. She half-succeeded in her mission; her dad got out, but he died in the process. Since that first fateful meeting with Spider-Man, Black Cat has been both a nuisance and welcome ally to the friendly neighbourhood Marvel hero. She's also got a taste for hunky boys who can swing from building to building, as she's been portrayed as a Spidey love interest several times too. This unique relationship with the man in the red suit has made Black Cat a very popular character amongst comic books fans. She's also come painfully close to appearing on the big screen. Sam Raimi once said that Anne Hathaway would have played the character had his Spider-Man 4 ever happened and Felicity Jones' version of Felicia Hardy was supposed to become the feline antihero before the Amazing Spider-Man series met its untimely end.
