InIron Cat # 1 , compose by Jed MacKay with graphics by Pere Perez , Black Cat reminisce about an early adventure in Pershyy Misto , the Republic of Carnelia twelve years before the present day . Even before Black Cat ’s origin , she was being chased by a squad of police car while deliver a stolen rhombus to her animal trainer , employer and acquaintance : the Black Fox . conventionalize after a valet stealer archetype , the Black Fox is polite , cunning , and roundabout to the extremum , employing the unstable government of the location to basically call the police on the police . Felicia speeds down minute street on a motorcycle all while her life is in serious danger - but the Black Cat is nothing if not a thrill - searcher ( in improver to a thief ) .
The entire scope of the chase successiveness borrows many elements from Ton Cruise’sMission Impossibleseries , including a high - upper bike pursual through back street , a speedboat hurtling through canal , and escaping by the skin of one ’s teeth . Of course , while theMission Impossiblecrew are heroes who make for for the governance , Felicia and the Black Fox ( along with Tamara Blake , the Black Fox ’s other friend ) are criminals through and through . Black Cat has shifted between hero and villainin the yesteryear , and while she can usually be counted on as an ally , is often on herownside more than anyone else ’s .
The story in the modern one-half of the book explains that Felicia shit the Black Fox eventually , but this led to a chain of event that resulted inTamara attacking her in the Iron Cat armor . This too is a plot point take over from Mission Impossible : allegiances within allegiance and an unfitness to know exactly whom to rely . TheBlack Catmay bank many mass , but few really believe her ( at least in her early living ) .
