** ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Characters/{{Black Cat|MarvelComics}} became one under Dan Slott in his [[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManDanSlott run of Spider-Man]]. During ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'', she was in the middle of a robbery when Spider-Man (who was actually Doctor Octopus in Peter Parker's body) attacked her without warning, leaving her beaten and wrapped in his webbing for the police to arrest. This left Felicia totally shocked and furious at not only her lover's perceived betrayal but at the loss of all of her personal belongings and criminal contacts. Swearing revenge on him, she becomes a crime boss and genuine villain carving a criminal empire of her own and becoming a major antagonist for ComicBook/SpiderMan and ComicBook/{{Silk|MarvelComics}}... until she lost her gang during ''Venom Inc.'' and Nick Spencer took over ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderMan2018 The Amazing Spider-Man]]'', whereupon she went back to her old ClassyCatBurglar act.
