Black Cat

A reinvention of the classic thief within Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's rebooted Ultimate Universe, this Black Cat operates in a dangerous world alongside figures like Spider-Man, Kingpin, and Mysterio — her full background and true identity remain largely unrevealed.

Sleek and enigmatic, this Black Cat prowls the Modern Age Marvel Universe, making her debut in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man #8 in 2024 — part of the bold reimagining that writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Marco Checchetto brought to Marvel's Ultimate line. With only eight appearances so far, she's a fresh presence in a corner of the Marvel universe populated by heavy hitters like Spider-Man, Kingpin, and Mysterio, which tells you immediately that this is a world of high stakes and dangerous company. Her footprint already stretches across Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, hinting at a character with reach beyond a single corner of this reconstructed universe. For collectors and readers invested in the ground floor of Marvel's new Ultimate era, she's exactly the kind of figure worth watching closely from the very beginning.
