Black Cat x Iron Cat is the femslash ship between Felicia Hardy and Tamara Blake from the Marvel fandom.
Canon[]
Felicia and Tamara were raised and taught thievery by the Black Fox. Tamara is in fact Felicia's oldest friend since they grew up as childhood best friends. Tamara always had feelings for Felicia, and Felicia was oblivious to them. They always had clashes when little due to the fact that Tamara felt that she was always treated less favorably by Black Fox compared to Felicia. Also, she felt the more privileged background Felicia had compared to her. One night, while the two of them were discussing their different approaches to life, Tamara surprised Felicia with a kiss, and after that, the two become romantically involved with each other.
Black Cat[]
Their closeness is shown early on when they have a moment holding hands under the table during a meeting. And much later, when Black Fox mentions Tamara to Felicia, he says he noticed the two of them "have grown quite close." As much as Felicia is always quick to dismiss her romantic relationships, she gets somber thinking about how Tamara can be in danger, and how she doesn't want to risk that.
Iron Cat[]
As Felicia seeks help from Tony Stark, she says that the reason is that her ex girlfriend is trying to kill her. That's when it's revealed the two of them dated. And since Tamara found out about Black Fox' death, she decides to avenge him. However, she's shocked to find out the person who caused his death was Felicia. So she goes on a quest to avenge his death by going after Felicia.
Fanon[]
Black Cat x Iron Cat is a rare pair in the Marvel fandom. This is due to the fact that more popular Marvel ships, like Stony or Spideypool overshadowed it. It has also been recently revealed as a canon ship in the comics, so people are not that massively aware of it yet. However, the ship on itself has gained attention and popularity as it further confirms Felicia is queer. When her kiss with Odessa confirmed this, people were already excited. But this new ship being confirmed canon made fans even more happy. Even more so LGBT+ fans of Black Cat that were happy to see more of Felicia's queer romantic relationships.
