Hi, I think we've all seen the comic book where Cat was married with children to Peter, and how fast the editorial took it from her only to never mention it again.

Personally, I like the idea of Felicia settling down eventually, but the way Marvel went with it rubbed me the wrong way. That caused a discussion between my friends and I about whether she would be a housewife in the first place, what kind of wife and mother she'd be etc. I find the topic interesting so decided to share it here.

We ended up agreeing that Felicia would agree to be a housewife, for the right person.

Before you come at me with pitchforks and torches, let me explain what I mean. Felicia wouldn't be a "trad" housewife.

Picket fence and baking pies doesn't suit her, and she'd probably hire maids and cooks to help with chores rather than doing it herself.

I mean that she wouldn't be officially employed, but she'd spend time at home with her kids, encouraging their hobbies or developing her own skills like further gymnastics training and such, while at night keeping her Black Cat routine albeit on rare occasions as it comes with being a parent.

The idea that Felicia "Black Cat" Hardy wouldn't be able to handle teenagers in a rebellious phase is crazy on it's own. I don't think her kids would even have a rebellious phase, because she's the type to encourage them acting out and being a bit wild.

She'd be the "cool" parent that all the other kids at school wish was their mom, or all the boys have a crush on.

That's our consensus, but what do you think? Can Felicia ever work as a part time mom/part time Cat? If so, what kind of partner would she do that for (doesn't have to be an existing Marvel character)? What kind of mother she'd make?

Share your thoughts, please.
