Black Cat / Felicia Hardy

New York's rooftops have never had a more complicated visitor than Felicia Hardy, the elusive thief who prowls them as Black Cat. In Marvel's Spider-Man 2, she re-enters Peter Parker's world at the worst possible moment, targeted by Kraven the Hunter and his squad of elite hunters who have turned the city into a lethal game preserve.

Black Cat’s Role and Personality in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Cunning, whimsical, and completely on her own terms, Felicia operates with a kind of moral ambiguity that makes her impossible to pin down. Her flirtatious banter and coy secrecy are armor, concealing someone who is both fiercely intelligent and deeply mistrustful of anyone else’s methods. When Kraven’s hunters lock onto her as a target, Peter sends Miles Morales to pull her out of danger, and she responds to this act of protection not with gratitude but with her usual air of self-sufficiency. Daughter of the legendary thief Walter Hardy, she carries her father’s legacy with a particular flair, blending athletic precision, martial arts, and high-tech gadgetry into a style that is entirely her own. She ultimately escapes New York altogether, using an artifact to open a portal to Paris, heading off to protect someone she cares about.

Who Voices Black Cat in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2?

Erica Lindbeck brings Felicia Hardy to life, and her performance here is a natural fit for a character who lives in the space between charm and danger. Lindbeck is one of the most recognized voices in gaming, best known for her turn as the socially anxious, brilliantly sharp Futaba Sakura in Persona 5, as well as the emotionally devastating Kaori Miyazono in the anime Your Lie in April. That same ability to move between wit and genuine vulnerability is exactly what makes her Black Cat feel lived-in rather than purely theatrical.
