Black Cat/Felicia Hardy Appreciation 2024

[LoganAlpha30X33]

So then in the not to distant future Peter, MJ, and Felicia will all be single and look at each other and say, now what.

[Tuck]

Felicia was revealed as bi back in 2002. But they revealed she had a relationship with another woman (outside of MC2) in Jed MacKay's Black Cat series.

Arguably it goes back to the Spider-Girl series, where Felicia was living with (married to?) a woman.

Was it the Kevin Smith series that canonized it in 616? In any case, without the Spider-Girl version, maybe Marvel doesn't come up with the idea for 616 Felicia?

Yeah, Spider-Girl 47, the first appearance of Diana, Felicia's female partner. was released a few months before Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do #1. Both released in 2002.

Oh, yeah . . . Felicia's daughter Felicity didn't approve, not exactly because Diana was another woman, but because she thought Diana was a gold digger. Funny enough, Felicity could be somewhat interpreted as having a crush on Mayday/Spider-Girl.

Personally, I'm fine with Peter working on himself and getting his s*** together. After the wringer he's been through in this run and even before that, he could use some serious self-care before trying to find love (again).....

Not for me, I've read this exact same Peter storyline for fifteen freakin' years now. Thank the Comic Book Gods for Ultimate Spider-Man.

Yeah, I hear you there.

Yeah, I hear you there.

Hell is indeed repetition.

It is also other people, or so Sartre says.

I'm finally getting the Black Cat Omnibus by Jed McKay.
It is a hype week at Target, Circle Week and books are buy 2 get one free. I think Target is trying out their own version of Prime Day.
Anyway all 3 books worked out to right at $50 each, cheaper even than IST or the other sites. Hoping it is packed well, this is my third time using Target and so far so good.

That's awesome !

[kcekada]

Yes, I don't like the Jackpot costume (even if it makes MJ's butt more pronounced on that cover) but the ladies both look gorgeous .

It's not a very good design, and thought i recognize it's origins, 'Jackpot' as a character name ain't great!

Indeed. Very awesome.

Alas, yeah.

Felicity is Peter Parker's daughter. Otherwise, why didn't she carry her father's last name in Mayday's timeline?

[Darthfury78]

Or people would have viewed the relationship as being rushed or pushed down our throats, as we then know that Felicias new love interest won't stick around long.

Mystique should be Felicia's love interest.

[Darthfury78]

Yeah, while I'm happy for Felicia I'm also pretty sure the behind-the-scenes reason why both she and MJ are suddenly in relationships and Peter isn't. *sigh* I'm so tired of Peter the lonely loser......

Edit - Once again, I'm happy with my decision to walk away from 616 Peter. This run of Amazing is utter trash tier, IMHO.

Same here.
