It's the mask I love--the costume--you as the Spectacular Spider-Man, swinging through the night!

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 85

My bad luck powers . . . they're gone!!

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 115

Personally, darling I'll take larceny over virtue every time!

—Strange Tales Vol 2 10

It's been a loooong time since I did this -- particularly in good ol' Manhattan. Time was, I'd be dancing across the rooftops with a bag of jewels in my teeth. But it's like the man says "crime doesn't pay." Of course, the man who said that never saw my apartment, my stock portfolio, my wardrobe, and all the stuff crime did pay for. But even though I've lived off ill-gotten gains for the past few years, I haven't so much as jaywalked in ages. And that's because of him... My little bug-aboo. Can it only be five years since Peter and I were an item? "An item"? Who am I kidding? We were doing the nasty -- nothing more, nothing less. Of course, the day he figured out that it was Spider-Man I was into and not Peter Parker, he called it quits. God, I was so stupid back then. Such a spoiled little daddy's girl. And since daddy used to be a cat burglar too, that meant I was attracted to all the wrong guys for all the wrong reasons. I've been trying to make it up to Peter in little ways ever since then. I'd love to make it up to him in big ways, but... y'know... He is a married man.

—Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do Vol 1 1

And there I was thinking I'd gotten my evening nicely planned. A little innocent art theft followed by hot cocoa and steamy chick-lit.

—Venom Vs. Carnage Vol 1 2

...what's happening, Peter? Why do I feel so angry...?

—Sensational Spider-Man Vol 2 24

Don't knock them. In my line of work, where you look for every distraction you can get, these tend to come in handy. And since this costume lacks pockets, where else would I hide all my tools?

—Spider-Man Unlimited Vol 3 14

--I'm just your bad-girl ex-girlfriend, so what does it matter? I think we've gone a little deeper than that, haven't we? I think we owe each other a little more respect than that, don't we? A phone call, an e-mail -- would that have killed you?

—Sensational Spider-Man Vol 2 30

...thank you, Spider--Peter-- whatever you want to call yourself. For taking your mask off and reminding me... ...it's never too late to figure out who you really are.

—Sensational Spider-Man Vol 2 34

I'm not a hero. I'm a thief. Born a thief. Raised a thief. Will die a thief.

—Marvel Divas Vol 1 3

Sorry, mom--gotta ask you something now... do you trust me? Not as a daughter. As a thief. As a thief who really hates this guy messing with me and mine.

—Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat Vol 1 2

Sorry about the last couple days, kid. But you did good. You're in. You're one of us now.

—Silk Vol 2 5

You'll always just be sad, pathetic, little Phil Urich. Neither Goblin. Nor King. Silk? Finish him.

—Silk Vol 2 6

I trust you, Silk.

—Silk Vol 2 9

I just want to give you a whole bunch of money to help me cause trouble.

—Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! Vol 1 11

Now, let's get down to business. Tombstone's time is up. Let's show him what we're made of -- as we conquer his kingdom.

—Power Man and Iron Fist Vol 3 10

I think you'll find my offer very difficult to refuse.

—Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat! Vol 1 12

You work for me, and if you want to continue, you'll work with whom I tell you.

—Venom Vol 3 4

You're funny, in a not-really-funny way. I like that.

—Star-Lord Vol 2 4

We need you to weaponize it. Me and Eddie, here, we're going on a hunt. For Lee Price. And all of his "made men."

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 793

So what do you say, Spider? Wanna help me pull off the Heist of the Heist of the Century?

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 9

Spider, we were... together. And now, I can't -- I can't remember what your face looks like. What your name is! Do you have any idea how that feels?!

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 10

I got a plan, Bruno. We keep what we stole! We carve 'em up! And we don't take orders from anyone!

—Black Cat Vol 1 1

I know I shouldn't feel guilty. I'm just doing this to protect our relationship. I'm... I'm doing the right thing. So why do I feel like it's so wrong?

—Symbiote Spider-Man Vol 1 3

If the Fox says it can be done, we'll do it.

—Black Cat Vol 1 2

"Probability" is just a five-dollar word for "luck." And I'm nothing but bad luck, baby.

—Black Cat Vol 1 3

Remember this, Clown Shoes! When they ask you who beat you this time -- tell 'em it was the Black Cat and her boys!

—Black Cat Vol 1 5

Hey. You wanna go steal something?

—Black Cat Vol 1 6

See? I told you it'd go off without a hitch. Other than, you know, us getting hitched.

—Black Cat Annual Vol 1 1

Oh, I see how it is. You're happy to run around Madripoor with me, but oh no, you can't take a flatscan home to Mother!

—Black Cat Vol 1 10

Usually, I try to go for the smart move. There's no profit in revenge. But I'm sick of Odessa pushing me around. And sometimes...sometimes revenge is its own profit.

—Black Cat Vol 1 12

Here we go. On one of the Goblin's old rides. A ghost dog strapped to my chest. Counting on some alien goo to protect me from a different alien goo. Breaking a wizard out of space jail. If I die, at least it'll be how I lived. Outrageously.

—Black Cat Vol 2 2

You offered me ashes. Did you really think… …that I would MAKE someone LOVE me… … WITH MAGIC?!

—Black Cat Vol 2 3

Queen Cat. Sorry about the sucker punch. I like a good cat-and-mouse, but a cat-and-cat? Even better. Anyways, you didn't get me this time. But you're welcome to try again. You see, I've been at this game, a long time. If you want to be a super hero, you need a foil. A criminal counterpart. All the greats have one. Spider-Man and Venom. Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Doom. Wolverine and Sabretooth. Tony Stark and bourbon. And us? Queen Cat and the Black Cat. Two sides of the same coin. Light and Dark. So catch me if you can, because this game has begun. See you on the rooftops. Love, The Black Cat

—Black Cat Vol 2 4

My heart half-breaks at how easy it is to lie to him. It breaks all the way when he believes me without question.

—Black Cat Vol 2 6

I did what I always do: What I had to. No matter who it hurts.

—Black Cat Vol 2 7

You think you can be Spider-Man? I want to be there when you crash and burn.

—Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man Vol 1 1

You remember my first big job on my own? My first crew? We went to break dad out of prison. And it went so well. We cracked that jail like an egg. I punked out Spider-Man. Dad died. But he got to die at home in his own bed. And he got to see how good I was at this life. I wasn't good enough to save his life. This time, though... I was.

—Giant-Size Black Cat: Infinity Score Vol 1 1

Class is in session. So listen up, baby.

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 87

I mean, I wasn't sure if your dump truck ass would fit in one of my suits, but hey, we made it work.

—Mary Jane & Black Cat: Beyond Vol 1 1

You can get as angry as you want, but I know you're hurting. You've been playing injured since the accident with Ben.^[1] And I'm not talking about your body.

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 6 5

One thing I learned from the Fox, something we both did. There's a time to be quiet and tricky, silent and sneaky. And then there's a time to be seen.

—Iron Cat Vol 1 2

Excuse me, folks...while I slip into something a little more violent.

—Iron Cat Vol 1 3

Tamara and I, fighting isn't what we do best. We're thieves, and thieves steal. What we're stealing is Madame Menace's attention. Her focus. Stealing it so that all she cares about is killing us...And she doesn't realize what the real threat is.

—Iron Cat Vol 1 5

I figured you're late for everybody...But sometimes, the right person is worth the wait. Think of it as my Parker-Sense.

—Spider-Verse Unlimited Infinity Comic Vol 1 37

I'm not a hero. I'm a thief. Born a thief. Raised a thief. Will die a thief.

—Felicia Hardy (Earth-616)

Black Cat	This time, Spidey, take the hint--
Spider-Man	Cat, Cat, Cat-- --You know I can't do that! After all, I represent truth, justice, and... nope, that's someone else. I represent all the good stuff in life, like apple pie, mom, and the right to parade around in screwball costumes! While you, as pretty as you are, seem to represent everything I've sworn to prevent! And, since I'm not about to change my ways...
Black Cat	Nor I, mine...
Spider-Man	...It's up to me to stop whatever you're so blasted determined to start.

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 204

Black Cat	Now are you convinced that I want to go straight?
Spider-Man	We have to talk more about that!
Black Cat	Why don't we kiss first?
Spider-Man	Felicia, be serious! I...you...that is... Aw, what the heck!

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 1 226

Spider-Man	Felicia!!!
Black Cat	Oh, Gee! Is this the p-price I have to p-pay... ...for being g-good?!
Spider-Man	No! NOOOOOOOOOO

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 76

Black Cat	What do you say we cuddle up some, and what you get when you cross a spider with a black cat, hmmm?
Spider-Man	No, Cat!

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 98

Spider-Man	Can you do this, you creep?
Foreigner	Why would I want to?
Black Cat	Hello, 911! Spider-Man's broken in. 405 W. 45th. He's trying to kill my boyfriend! Hurry!!

—Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man Vol 1 129

Black Cat	So..? Are you gonna stay up there all night?
Spider-Man	You didn't look like you needed any help from this wall-crawler..!

—Sensational Spider-Man Vol 1 29

Black Cat	I really hate you, you know that?
Spider-Man	And I am thoroughly disgusted by you. Welcome back, party-hardy.

—Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do Vol 1 2

Scorpia	Tell her she's a dead woman when I get outta here.
Black Cat	What's she saying now?
Spider-Man	She says no woman with a chest like yours should be able to move as fast as you do!
Black Cat	Tell her they act as ballast!
Spider-Man	I will!

—Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do Vol 1 3

Felicia Hardy	Isn't that you all over? Always rushing to unmask?
Peter Parker	You loved it when I did it, and you know it.
Felicia Hardy	I did, actually.
Peter Parker	S'not what you said then.
Felicia Hardy	I was a kid then, Peter. I've grown up a lot since. You telling me who you were, even though I didn't show it at the time... It meant the world to me. You helped me.
Peter Parker	Helped you how?
Felicia Hardy	You helped me to trust again.
Peter Parker	Really? Now you tell me--when I'm all married and stuff.

—Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do Vol 1 6

Felicia	I'm dangerous, buddy, and don't you forget it.
Logan	Right.
Felicia	I am!

—Claws Vol 1 1

Felicia	I'm not a big fan of swimming. You know, us cats and water...
Logan	What about cats and molten lava?
Felicia	Smartass.

—Claws Vol 1 2

Spider-Man	Ouch. You know, you're the only woman I've ever fallen for.
Black Cat	Heh! How long've you been waiting to use that one?

—Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat Vol 1 1

Logan	Half an hour to make-- sheesh, what're we supposed to do till then?
Felicia	Really, Logan... Use your imagination.

—Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws 2 Vol 1 1

Logan	It smells funny...like wet fur. Must be rats.
Felicia	Well...if it's just rats, that's not a problem. Just rats, right, Logan?

—Wolverine & Black Cat: Claws 2 Vol 1 2

Electro	No money... nowhere to sleep... can't even get food. Sparking like this, I can't go anywhere... I stick my head up, the cops'll shoot it off. What am I gonna do? I need help...
Black Cat	Well, then, it's your lucky day.
Electro	Black Cat? What do you want?
Black Cat	The same thing you do. Respect. Revenge. And so much more. And together, we can get it. By getting rid of Spider-Man!

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 3

Black Cat	Alright, new girl! Out with it! What's the deal with you and Spider-Man?
Spider-Man	The deal? Why this is The Spectacular Spinning Jenny! My All-New junior sidekick!
Silk	Can't believe you just did that. On TV! If any of that sticks, I'm seriously gonna kill you!

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 3 5

Black Cat	I strongly suggest that whatever you've learned about me -- and Spider's costume -- you keep it to yourself.
Mysterio	Oh, no question. If he finds out, he'll get rid of it. I'm hoping that, sooner or later... it kills him.

—Symbiote Spider-Man Vol 1 5

Black Cat	I swear, you redheads. It's like you're collectively out to get me. Look, I really don't have time for this. I'm on a schedule...
Bethany Cabe	Shut up! AAACHOOO!
Black Cat	Whoa! Now that's some bad luck! Like I said, I got a schedule to keep...so why don't you take a load off and let me do my job?
Bethany Cabe	What...
Black Cat	Just a narcpatch. Listen don't feel bad. I'm a pro, I eat security bosses for breakfast. It makes me strong. Like Wheaties.

—Black Cat Vol 1 11

Mary Jane Watson	Well, after how hard you've worked and how far you've come, you've certainly earned more.
Black Cat	Perhaps we have an ensemble available that will go fabulously with those Web-Shooters?
Mary Jane Watson	Oh, absolutely.
Black Cat	Face it tiger... you've hit the jackpot again.

—Amazing Spider-Man Vol 5 89

Iron Man	You and I have no common ground. There is nothing you can say that would make me open that door.
Black Cat	I--my ex-girlfriend is trying to kill me with super science.
Iron Man	What was that?
Black Cat	I said--my ex-girlfriend is trying to kill me with super science.
Iron Man	Oh my God. We do have something in common. Come in. That has happened to me so many times.

—Iron Cat Vol 1 1

Mary Jane Watson	Well? What do you think?
Black Cat	I think... that this is about the opposite of how I like to do things?

—Mary Jane & Black Cat Vol 1 2

Black Cat	All right, Grimace. You got us. We're working for Belasco. We have to bring him the Soulsword if we want to get home. Which means that you and us are after the same thing. So how about this: we team up, beat the tower, and then we can inevitably betray each other when we find the sword?
S'ym	Haw! Now you're talking.

—Mary Jane & Black Cat Vol 1 3

Mary Jane Watson	Felicia Hardy, you dumb &%$#!
Black Cat	For God's sake, MJ, I told you to run--
Mary Jane Watson	Now you listen to me. Do you think I'm mad at you because you, quote, unquote, "stole my ex-boyfriend"? Is that why you think I'm yelling at you?
Black Cat	I mean... yeah?
Mary Jane Watson	I don't care* that you and Peter are... doing whatever you're doing.* I have a life of my own that doesn't revolve around Peter B. Parker! I've got kids! Felicia, I'm mad at you because you didn't tell me! Because you let it tie you up in knots and screw us over! I'm happy for you! That's what friends do, and we're friends!
Black Cat	... Yeah, we are, aren't we?

—Mary Jane & Black Cat Vol 1 4

Mary Jane Watson	"What's to stop us becoming the fabulous co-queens of Hell?" Felicia asked you that, before.
Black Cat	Turns out, the answer? Nothing.

—Mary Jane & Black Cat Vol 1 5

Wrong! You bought my things at that auction. That's how they advertised it. "Treasures of the Black Cat!" Items I spent a lifetime acquiring. A collection I poured my heart and soul into. That's the problem with possessions. You can lose them. They can break or... They can be taken from you. And then... Then... Everyone thinks they can take what's yours. Your belongings. Your freedom. Your dignity. And they will. Unless you show them they're wrong. Nothing--And no one--Will ever have that kind of hold on me again. I'm setting myself free.

—Black Cat^[src]

Please. I'm never with someone. I'm my own thing. If you're lucky, you get to tag along.

—Black Cat^[src]

I'm the Black Cat. The greatest thief of all time. There's nothing you can take from me... that I can't get back.

—Black Cat^[src]
