Midweek Mashup: Black Cat VS. Catwoman
25 09 2009
Ok, I’m gunna try and shorten this out, since most people have the attention span of gnats.
Black Cat: Felicia Hardy sports enhanced endurance, acrobatic ability, strength, and a wide range of equipment. Her gear ranges from small grappling devices and earrings to enhance her catlike reflexes. She also has micro-claws and the ability to negatively affect her foe’s luck. She has contacts for seeing ultraviolet light, etc. She can fight Spider-Man. REGULARLY. Yup.
Catwoman: Selina Kyle has very simple equipment, more lavish than her opponent, including a whip as well as a cat-o-nine-tails, claws and natural night vision, as well as the ability to communicate with cats. She fights Batman, so, yeah, there’s that, too. She fights BATMAN REGULARLY. Yeah, that’s a power. Oh, and she has nine lives. But she’s died 7 times. Yup, I’ll give her an extra man. Green mushroom. Whatever, you suck.
THE SETUP:
The Cat’s Eye Jewel; a magnificent oval shaped champagne diamond with a gorgeous imperfection: a black slit that looks exactly like a cat’s pupil. This priceless gem was on loan from the Deus Ex Machina Corperation, who just so happened to have a museum (more like a mew-seum, amiright?) between the marvel and DC universes.
The fight is simple, my friends. Two felines enter, only one leaves. The gem is guarded by lasers and crap, as well as glass and crap, which will hinder their battle. Which cat will win the fight, and which will go home with a wounded paw?

See you Saturday with an update on this fight!!!
I say Catwoman, simply because she is just more of a badass. That is all.
Black Cat
1) superhuman abilities, including enhanced strength, endurance, reflexes and that little luck dohicky, are nice – CW has little to no superhuman enhancements
2) while both tend to fight their respective crushes often, neither has been overly vilianous – in fact, both have severed stints as heroes (BC more so) and in this respect, BC has the edge: she’s dealt with powered baddies almost exclusively; since CW (depending on the iteration) is a low tier metahuman, if a metahuman at all, BC would have no trouble adapting
3) CW perfers to steal from people she can piss off. BC just steals things… and she she has a daddy complex…
4) if CW neutralizes BC’s enhanced abilities with her whip and cunning, while remaining free from BC’s own whip and chords, this fight would be close to draw, the jewel would go to who wanted it the most – or who could avoid Batman/Spider Man the longest.
I’m gonna say Cat Woman. Black Cat is the better fighter probably, but Cat Woman is used to going up against the BATMAN. In the end, Black Cat will probably win against Cat Woman in the fight, but Cat Woman has the aid of her cats, so when Black Cat goes to get the jewel, it just isn’t gonna be there anymore. And neither will Cat Woman once Black Cat’s back is turned.
