The Black Cat (Felicia Hardy) is a fictional antiheroine that appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Keith Pollard, she first appeared in ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #194 (July 1979). Felicia Hardy is the daughter of a world-renowned cat burglar. After suffering a traumatic event as a college freshman, she trained herself in various fighting styles and acrobatics and, after deciding to follow in her father's footsteps, adopted her costumed identity as the Black Cat.〔''Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do''〕 She was ranked 27th in ''Comics Buyer's Guide's'' 100 Sexiest Women in Comics list. Felicia Hardy made her cinematic debut as Harry Osborn's assistant in the 2014 film ''The Amazing Spider-Man 2'', portrayed by actress Felicity Jones. ==Publication history== In 1979, creator Marv Wolfman was looking for a female foil for Spider-Woman. He decided to base a character on a Tex Avery cartoon "Bad Luck Blackie", in which a black cat brought misfortune to anyone in close proximity. The Black Cat's costume and appearance were designed by Dave Cockrum. When Wolfman changed writing assignments within Marvel Comics to ''The Amazing Spider-Man'', he brought his character with him. He made considerable changes to the character and her appearance over this time; the Black Cat intended to debut in ''Spider-Woman'' had only her name and powers in common with the one who finally appeared in ''The Amazing Spider-Man''. On the bottom of the letters page of ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #194, a thumbnail of the intended cover for ''Spider-Woman'' #9 appears along with a rejected cover for ''The Amazing Spider-Man'' #194. Wolfman said in an interview, "I didn't plan Black Cat to be in Spidey. I created her for Spider-Woman (look at the letter column of the first B.C. story and you’ll see). I then decided to leave Spider-Woman and moved her over. So, I never even thought of Catwoman when I did her. I got the idea for her from a Tex Avery cartoon, Bad Luck Blackie."〔 Writer/director Kevin Smith began writing the ''Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil that Men Do'' miniseries in 2002. After the third issue the series went on a hiatus until 2005, when Smith revealed he had finally finished writing the scripts. Smith has stated, "While I have zero defense for my lateness (particularly when folks like Bendis turn out great stories in multiple books on a monthly basis), I will say this: it's a much better story now than it would've been had I completed it back in '02." In the mid-2000s, she starred alongside Wolverine in a limited comic book miniseries titled ''Claws''. A sequel to this miniseries, entitled ''Claws II'', began publication in July 2011. Black Cat was a lead character in the 2006-2007 ''Heroes for Hire'' series. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Cat (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
