As part of Marvel Comics' upcoming King in Black event, the Black Cat herself, Felicia Hardy, will take on the infamous mantle of Anti-Venom.

Marvel has revealed the official solicitation information for January's Black Cat #2 -- a King in Black tie-in. The issue will see the notorious cat burglar embark on a mission to steal from none other than the God of the Symbiotes, Knull. "If you know Felicia Hardy, she never shows up inappropriately dressed," the comic's official synopsis teases. "This issue, Felicia gets her own Anti-Venom costume!" Additionally, the issue's main cover sees the white-and-black symbiote begin to shape around Felicia, who has a determined look in her eye.

The original Anti-Venom symbiote was created when Martin Li, aka Mr. Negative, cured Eddie Brock -- who was separated from the Venom symbiote at the time -- of his cancer. In the process, Li accidentally infused his powers with the remnants of the Venom symbiote that were still in Eddie's blood, which then fused with Eddie's white blood cells, creating the hybrid symbiote known as Anti-Venom. The Anti-Venom symbiote possessed powerful healing capabilities and, as opposed to most symbiotes, was mindless, giving Eddie complete control of his actions.

Anti-Venom was initially destroyed when the symbiote was used as a cure for the Spider-Virus. However, an artificial recreation of Anti-Venom later bonded to Peter Parker/Spider-Man's former rival and longtime friend Flash Thompson. The replica Anti-Venom symbiote was itself destroyed when Flash was killed by the Red Goblin. At this time, it is unclear how exactly Black Cat gets her hands on a new Anti-Venom suit for King in Black -- though it doesn't seem like a stretch to say sleight of hand will likely be involved in some capacity.
