Background[]
Patricia "Patsy" Walker was the daughter of a comic-book writer and an acting agent. When Patricia was young her mother would act as her agent in-order to force her into a celebrity life which was very harmful to her. Meanwhile, Patricia's father based a comic book character called "Patsy" after her who was the star of a teen/pre-teen romance comic which added to her fame.
While left with emotional damage, Patricia also grew up idolizing super-heroes due to her constant exposure to comics; something which her parents didn't approve of. This also lead to Patricia taking martial-arts and acrobatics lessons which made her a very talented fighter, especially when combined with her already present dance and acrobatics training which her mother forced her to take.
Due to her friendship with Beast, she was provided with an super heroine alter-ego and costume and given the opportunity to tag along for some missions after-which she proved her worth and became the hero, "Hellcat". As Hellcat she wore an experimental suit that enhanced her strength, senses and endurance while also giving her retractable claws. She would go on to be a regular member of the controversial hero team, "The Defenders" alongside Valkyrie, Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Silver Surfer, Namor and Nighthawk.
