bullet::::- felicia hardy/black cat appeared in the 1990s "spider-man: the animated series", voiced by jennifer hale. her character was originally depicted as peter parker's first love interest before being eventually replaced in this role by mary jane watson, but dates michael morbius instead. unlike most interpretations of the character, this version of felicia hardy comes from a wealthy background as her mother is head of the lucrative hardy foundation. it is revealed her father the cat was fooled into sneaking into an american lab during world war ii, to memorize the super soldier formula that created captain america and report back to the red skull. at the last moment, the cat realized the deception and ran away to a life of crime. in the present, the cat is in a s.h.i.e.l.d. prison but is then broken out by the kingpin. doctor octopus (working for the kingpin) kidnaps felicia as leverage and to be used as a guinea pig for an improved super soldier formula. the formula proves a success, making her overall physical prowess comparable to spider-man and also gives her the ability to switch between her normal blond haired form and her empowered well-muscled white haired form at will; she then recruited spider-man to assist in a rescue attempt for her father. after kraven the hunter was believed to be creating havoc in new york city, black cat helped make spider-man realize that kraven was trying to help dr. crawford. she was also featured in a smaller story arc where she was again kidnapped this time by alistair smythe to be used as leverage to get spider-man to kidnap either the scorpion or the vulture. it was later revealed that smythe had developed a machine reversed engineered from the time tablet and vulture's talons and that data extracted from the genetic and molecular structure of scorpion (both vulture and scorpion suffered heavy exposure to vulture's earlier prototypes) was needed. the three components were used in conjunction in an attempt to swap age and abilities of the baby silvermane and spider-man but a rescue attempt by black cat, vulture, and the freed scorpion destroyed the machine and returned silvermane to his proper age. after morbius awakens as a vampire, she struggles at figuring out how to stop morbius because of her personal feelings. she then finds herself teaming up with blade, spider-man, and morbius to take down blade's vampire mother who was using dr. connors's genetic recombinator to create an army of vampires. she then decides to leave spider-man to work for blade along with morbius, but not before she admits her love for the web-slinger. she does come back however to help spider-man defeat hydro-man and also appears at peter's and mary jane's wedding. black cat allies herself with spider-man and kingpin fighting droids created by smythe that are crashing the wedding. after blade, morbius, and black cat nearly succeeded in capturing blade's mother, black cat was brought into the secret war due to an effort by storm, iron man, and spider-man. she is initially angry and wants to return to earth. she nearly fell into a river of lava, but spider-man saved her by webbing black cat's ankle. when red skull's stronghold is attacked, she goes after red skull while the others are distracted trying to destroy the cyber-skulls. however she is seized by doctor octopus, covering her mouth. the other heroes are unable to attack with her hostage, but she is freed, though the two villains escape. she is later seen fighting them with other heroes before doctor doom sends them back to earth. after the secret war was over she was sent back to the exact time and place she was taken from with no memory of the war. despite her aristocratic background she flirts, kisses, or dates other characters in her age range. she does so more than once with spider-man while dating another person. it is alluded to that her promiscuous nature is rooted in her relationship with her father. with him having left her when she was young, she constantly tries to fill that void and if a man disappoints her, leaves, dies, etc.; she turns to spider-man because he tends to "always be there" unlike her father.
