Marvel's Black Cat Was Inspired by a Cartoon, Not Catwoman
Marvel's Black Cat has long been considered a shameless ripoff of the character Catwoman, but the DC fans' accusations, while perhaps warranted, are not based in fact. While Catwoman debuted much earlier than Spider-Man's most elusive love interest, the Marvel editorial team at the time based Black Cat on an entirely different character (from a different medium, no less). Nevertheless, rumors spread faster than facts, and thus the true origin of Black Cat ought to be explored in greater detail.
