Marvel Finally Confirms What Makes Black Cat So Different From Catwoman
Warning! Spoilers ahead for Iron Cat #2
There are many characters in comics who could be viewed as copies of other characters, but in the case of Marvel's Black Cat, it's been revealed that she's actually much different from DC comics's Catwoman.
Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat is in a bit of a jam currently. In her youth she was the protege of a world-renowned thief named the Black Fox. But she didn't study under him alone. She had a rival named Tamara Blake, who has recently resurfaced and stolen the Iron Cat armor that was created for Black Cat by Tony Stark. Using this armor, Tamara seeks to gain her revenge on Black Cat, whom she blames for the death of their mentor.
