Is the fear of certain perceived negative consequences holding back female villians?

Many female villians are gone after 1 or 2 fights no matter the color,level of evil, or sneakyness

Is Scott looking at her boobs or fighting her? I found my self joking.

Same usually goes for minority based villian teams

What about that time in the 90s to the 2000s where she'd stopped stealing and was running a detective agency?

The multiple times, she stopped stealing and opened a new detective agency (she did it at least three times)?

I said, she could be redeemed, she could take a straight path, be a hero or at least, not a criminal. She's not the worst person in the world.

But, clearly, as of right now, her redemption has not lasted. It's not the first time she's "fallen off the wagon," and it probably won't be the last.

I'm all for a more heroic Black Cat. I'm unbothered by a more villainous one. But, she has been a supervillain and she is one right now.

When was she a supervillain before then ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Venom was supposed to be a woman at one point right? But then editorial put the kibosh on it because they didn't want Spider-Man beating up a woman.

The editor didn't think readers would see a woman as a physical threat to Spider-Man.

Nerdsync's Venom episode.

Years later readers got to see a woman Venom comicbook character as a physical threat to the Spider-Man comicbook character..
