Hellcat used a Shadow-Cloak confiscated from an Agent of Fortune for a brief period, employing it to move psychokinetically and to produce weapons from its inter-dimensional pocket.

 Revolving Door of Death 09 - Hellcat (Aug 2000)
Hellcat, for her part, did not cope particularly well with this; she stopped adventuring, went insane, started hearing voices, killed herself, and went to some comic book version of hell.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Marvel Comics
This is the comic that introduced The Human Torch, Sub-Mariner, The Angel, Ka-Zar and other characters to the comics-reading world — but more important, it introduced a company that would eventually grow to be an industry giant.
Marvel Comics may have been the name of the comic (for one issue, anyway — with #2, it became Marvel Mystery Comics), but it wasn't the name of the publisher.
Today, Marvel is still a huge comics publisher, although its biggest rival, DC Comics, has taken full advantage of its weakness to grab market share.

Hellcat - must have the quirkiest past of all mainstream supercharacters.
An innocent ‘50’s era teen model published in Marvel’s line of Archie-type romance comics, under the creative impetus of Steve Englehart she miraculously jumped genres and trained to be a non-superpowered Avenger because it was fun.

 Ian Watson - Hellcat Humoured   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
When she was reintroduced in the old Beast series as the same Patsy Walker/Baxter of "Patsy & Hedy" fame from the '60's romance humour comics it was an amusing throwaway connection, one step on from her appearance in the crowd at Reed and Sue's wedding.
Over the years she's studied psionics with Moondragon, acquired a shadowcloak, been (temporarily) Mephisto's daughter, courted and married Daimon Hellstrom, been driven insane by Satan, and finally died - all in the interests of finding something interesting to do with a character that is basically a single gimmick.
That said, Hellcat does deserve one last story to resolve the dangling subplots left from Hellstorm and Avengers vol 3 #11.

 Comics You Should Own #14: The Defenders » PopCultureShock
Comics fans today often talk of "big, dumb superhero comics." They may use this phrase as a compliment or pejoratively, depending on their mood.
We do get some nice moments between Valkyrie and Hellcat; the Hulk ruminates on the (non-) team and how he just wants fried chicken; and Kyle Richmond is suitably tortured after he becomes the group's leader by default when Dr. Strange quits in the first issue of this story, but it's largely surface stuff.
The issue of age is rarely raised in comics -- everyone is perpetually in their late 20s/early 30s and in peak physical shape.

 Ruth Atkinson Information
Her creation Patsy Walker would become the superheroine Hellcat in 1976, but Ruth Atkinson was drawing Hellcats long before then.
Under the Atkinson names, she entered the field at Fiction House in 1943, during the World War II military draft that necessitated women joining the American workforce in large numbers, and created such icons as painter Norman Rockwell's "Rosie the Riveter".
In a twist of irony, she retired from comics both romantic and in general shortly afterward upon finding real-life romance and marriage.

 IGN: The Planes of Combat Flight Sim 2, pt. 2
But why anyone would want to fly those other planes when they've got the Hellcat as an option is totally beyond me. In any case, the guys at Microsoft have written an extensive overview of each of the planes including technical details, historical background and some handy combat tips.
Simple, rugged, and deadly, yet easy to fly, the Hellcat was another product of the "Grumman Iron Works." It was a larger, heavier, faster, and more powerful refinement of Grumman's F4F Wildcat, and the first American fighter to exceed the performance of the Mitsubishi Zero.
Like their comrades flying the Hellcat and the Army P—38, Corsair pilots could use the power of their fighters to engage the Zero at higher speeds and altitudes where the legendary Mitsubishi fighter struggled to compete.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Patsy Walker
She got her own comic in 1945, as part of Marvel's girl-protagonist line, which at the time was rather extensive.
With the possible exception of Millie the Model, Patsy was the most successful of the lot — her title was published continuously for twenty years; and that wasn't all.
Dubbing herself "Hellcat", she hung around with The Avengers for a while, then found a longer-lasting berth in The Defenders.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Avengers
In comic books, the name "Avengers" does not mean a dapper man in a bowler hat and a sexy woman in a fl leotard.
Kirby stayed with the comic for its first year, relinquishing art chores to Don Heck with the September, 1964 issue, but did occasional page layouts during its second year.
By 1985, the group had become so large (even with most members inactive at any given time), that some of its members were spun off into a second series — West Coast Avengers.

 Comics Should Be Good: Big Crossover Event Friday
It says something kind of embarrassing about the current state of comics that one of the first questions asked whenever DC or Marvel announces a big crossover mini-series is always, "Who's gonna die?" And it's asked with about the same level of emotional involvement as a bookie handicapping a horse race.
Thought "Brotherhood of the Monkey Fist" (strange that DC left "Monkey" off the cover--could have sold billions) was awesome when it first came out, but it doesn't hold up that well today, despite being the last of the great kung-fu events (though I have an idea Gail has a kick-ass one in her somewhere).
If it's a major character that gets killed off, writers and editors pretend that it's permanent this time ("dead means dead") and fans do pretty much the same (reacting in anger and disgust), while both parties pretty much know that it's only a matter of time before Sue/Aquaman/whoever comes back to life.

 Welcome to Silver Bullet Comics! // THE source, nuff said! // Comics, Subscriptions, News, Previews, Reviews, Events, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Move ahead with the “Back in Black” movie tie-in portion of Spider-Man’s current storytelling arc, here’s an all-ages attempt at giving readers unfamiliar with Spider-Man of the present (and the past) a primer with which to get a taste of some history.
Spider-Man also hands a run-in with Black Cat (who, unfortunately, probably won’t be appearing in Spider-Man 3) which is ultimately uneventful, and she leads into the next story, which is a quick, pointless jaunt with Hellcat.
What’s fun is seeing the way Spider-Man has endured no matter the age of the intended audience or the predilections of his writers.

 Quicksilver (comics) - Medbib.com, the modern encyclopedia
Quicksilver (Pietro Maximoff) is a Marvel Comics superhero/supervillain, associated with the X-Men and Avengers.
It is unknown whether or not Quicksilver will be in it but rumor has it that he and his sister were deliberately left out of the X-Men movies in order to appear in the Avengers.
Quality Comics published a super-speedster named Quicksilver in National Comics, during the Golden Age of comic books; when he was revived by DC Comics in the pages of The Flash, he was renamed Max Mercury to avoid trademark confusion with Marvel's long-established character (similar to DC's use of Shazam!

 Sleeping Giant Comics
Comic characters are, by their very nature, open to interpretation by the various creative teams responsible for writing and illustrating their adventures.
I’m sure when the artist was illustrating it he didn’t realize how it would look once colored, but without the aid of the word balloon, one might assume Scorpio has a urinary infection in need of serious medical attention.
This causes Hellcat to cry out (sensitive readers may want to gloss over the next few words as they are rather crude and vulgar and most unbecoming a lady) “Darn it anyway!” Eventually, Scorpio reforms into his human self, with the Zodiac key in hand.

 Hellcat #3 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
According to Steve Engelhart, Hellcat now "cares that she lives." This is extremely funny since thanks to the dull writing, I don't care whether she lives or dies.
There's no reason for me to believe the Hellcat I loved from the Avengers shares anything with this surly Siamese.
His Hellcat looks yummy, but even her delicate proportions cannot save a story that has no reason to be told.
