Powers[]
Inherited from her Mother[]
- Tychokinesis: Black Cat has inherited a modified version of her mother's Tychokinesis. Whereas before the powers came from a quantum probability pulsator, Cassie's powers return to the roots of Felicia's "bad luck" powers. This power allows her to subliminally affect probability fields, which would cause improbable, though not impossible, events of "bad luck" to occur to enemies within her line of sight. This power also affects magic (manipulation of local probability fields), giving Felicia some protection against magical spells.
Inherited from her Father[]
- Spider Physiology: Black Cat possesses the proportionate powers of a spider, granted to her through genetic donation by her father, Spider-Man. The radioactive, complex mutagenic enzymes in the spider's blood that were transferred at the time of the bite triggered numerous body-wide mutagenic changes within Spider-Man. These have been inherited by Cassie, granting her numerous superhuman powers, including enhanced strength, speed and reflexes, as well as the trademark ability to cling to almost any surface. That mutation granted her an "enhanced chromosome pattern." Black Cat's powers include:
- Superhuman Strength: Black Cat possesses superhuman strength with the ability to lift up to 10 tons. Black Cat's physical strength is sufficient enough to enable her to lift and throw objects as heavy as a big rig semi-truck with ease. She must also pull her punches and kicks unless fighting someone of similar or greater physical durability. Otherwise, her blows would prove fatal to a normal human being. She has demonstrated that she is strong enough to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head. This physical strength also extends into her legs, enabling her to be able to jump to a height of several stories in a single bound.
- Superhuman Speed: Black Cat possesses superhuman speed, making her capable of running and moving at speeds that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. She is fast enough to catch up to an accelerating car while on foot. She moves faster than the eye can follow, and has even moved so fast he appears as a blur.
- Superhuman Agility: Black Cat's superhuman agility, balance, and bodily coordination are all enhanced to levels that are far beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete. She is extraordinarily limber, and her tendons and connective tissues are twice as elastic as the average human being is despite their physical strength. She has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. She can also perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. She can easily match or top any Olympic record at gymnastics apparatus such as flying rings, climbing ropes, horizontal bars, trampolines, and even comparable to the likes of Daredevil.
- Superhuman Reflexes: Black Cat's reflexes are similarly enhanced and are currently about forty times greater than those of an ordinary human. In combination with her danger sense, the speed of her reflexes allows her to dodge almost any attack, or even gunfire, given sufficient distance. She has even been shown in some cases, to be able to dodge gunfire using just her reflexes without her danger sense.
- Superhuman Stamina: Black Cat's advanced musculature produces fewer fatigue toxins during physical activity than an ordinary human. This allows her to exert herself physically for much longer periods of time before fatigue begins to impair her. At her peak, Black Cat can physically exert herself at his peak capacity for several hours before the build-up of fatigue toxins in her blood begins to impair her.
- Superhuman Durability: Black Cat's body is physically tougher and more resistant to some types of injury than the body of a normal human. Her body is more resistant to impact forces than anything else. She can withstand great impacts, such as falling from a height of several stories or being struck by an opponent with super strength. Events which would severely injure or kill a normal human, leave her with little to no discomfort. Black Cat's body is durable to the point where tensing her super-strong muscles while being punched in the torso by a trained heavyweight boxer caused the attacker's wrists to break. She has stated that she must roll with punches thrown by people without similar strength or durability, in order to avoid breaking their wrists.
- Superhuman Equilibrium: She possesses the ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. She seems able to adjust her position by instinct, which enables her to balance herself on virtually any object, no matter how small or narrow.
- Regeneration: Black Cat is able to rapidly heal and regenerate from harm faster and more extensively than normal humans are capable of.
- Contaminant Immunity: Due to her accelerated metabolism, Black Cat has a higher tolerance for drugs and diseases than normal humans, and she can recover from the effects of larger doses rapidly. Her resistance and recovery time to other toxins and diseases varies, but is typically significantly higher than normal.
- Wallcrawling: Black Cat's inheritance of her father's DNA results in the ability to mentally control the flux of interatomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to her's body (especially concentrated in her hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger.
- Danger Sense: Black Cat possesses a precognitive danger, or "danger sense," which warns of potential or immediate danger by the manifestation of a tingling sensation in the back of her skull, and links with her superhuman kinesthetics, enabling her to evade most any injuries unless he cognitively overrides his automatic reflexes. The precise nature of this sense is unknown. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena (everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches), which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for her reflexes to allow her to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes; she cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. She can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of her response to it. The danger sense is directional and can guide her to or away from hidden weapons and enemies. Sudden and extreme threats can cause her spider-sense to react with painful intensity. She can also sense, and dodge, attacks directed randomly or by artificial intelligence. Using her danger sense to time her enhanced reflexes, She can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire, provided there is sufficient distance. Her danger sense is sufficiently well-linked to her reflexes to the point that a threat can trigger them even when she is asleep or stunned. The danger sense does not react to those who Cassie does not consider to be a threat. She can choose to ignore the danger sense, and distraction or fatigue diminishes its effectiveness. Her fighting style incorporates all of this to her advantage. Her body begins to produce more adrenaline after the sense is triggered, an extension of the 'fight or flight syndrome.' Even when she does not have the use of her eyes, Cassie can still use the danger sense in a similar fashion to Daredevil's Radar Sense to help her see by sensing the direction the danger is coming from by listening on the loudest noise around. As a result of the Venom symbiote bonding to her father, it and its offspring do not trigger her danger sense, a trait that sometimes has been attributed to symbiotes in general.
