The Cat

John Hardesky is the criminal known as the Cat, husband of socialie Anastasia Hardy, and father of Felicia Hardy.

Biography
As a kid, John sneaked into a laboratory and was witness to the creation of Captain America. Even though the lab was destroyed, John memorized the Super Soldier Serum formula.

At some point he met and fell in love with Anastasia while also being a master criminal known as The Cat. They had a child, but in order to protect them he gave himself up to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody. This must have happened when Felicia was a young child as she was unaware of her father's criminal activities nor whereabouts.

Hardesky was forcibly freed from his imprisonment while Chameleon took his place, all under Kingpin's orders. Eventually Felicia was kidnapped and reunited with an elderly John, who was forced to test the serum on her. Despite being reunited for such a short time, John had to leave in order to protect them. John left with Spider-Man and returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. custody.
