Bats

Bats is a ghost cat and the loyal feline companion of Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat, first appearing in her 2019 solo series. Despite being a spectral cat with no living form, Bats serves as Felicia's witty, wise-cracking partner.

Few characters make their mark quite like Bats, who burst onto the scene in Marvel's Black Cat #1 in 2019, courtesy of writer Jed MacKay and artist Travel Foreman. Though debuting in that high-energy Modern Age title, Bats has since carved out a notable presence in the mystic corners of the Marvel Universe, appearing most frequently in Doctor Strange, Strange, and Sorcerer Supreme — rarefied company indeed. With 44 catalog appearances alongside luminaries like Stephen Strange, Wong, Spider-Man, and Wolverine, this is a character who clearly resonates wherever they land. If you're exploring the stranger, more enchanting side of contemporary Marvel, Bats is absolutely worth tracking down.
