Black Cat

Initially, the Black Cat had no superhuman abilities. It was later revealed that she had a latent mutant ability to affect probability fields. This ability was activated through artificial means. It entails that under stress she is subconsciously able to cause anyone in her immediate vicinity that she perceives as a threat to be susceptible to freak accidents, like guns jamming and exploding, or tripping on objects, etc. This ability also had the side effect of eventually causing problems for anyone spending long periods of time around her. Doctor Strange eventually tampered with her powers removing that unwanted side-effect.

The Black Cat has reflexes, agility, and stamina of an Olympic level acrobat. She is physically very strong and athletic and has great physical endurance. She is an excellent street fighter capable of taking on several armed male assailants and incapacitating them without being injured herself.

Equipment

The Black Cat has also acquired several devices from the Tinkerer that increase her agility and heighten her strength. She wears ear rings that interact with the balance centers of her brain to grant her enhanced agility. Her costume enhances her strength in some unrevealed manner, but apparently not quite to a superhuman degree. The gloves of her costume have retractable claws at the fingertips which enable her to tear through most surfaces and easily scale walls. In addition to this the costume is extremely distracting and provocative, making it difficult for a male assailant to concentrate on what he is doing. Finally, she wears contact lenses that enable her to see in the dark. Using this equipment the Black Cat has been able to successfully best enemies who have superhuman abilities.

The Black Cat carries a repelling and grappling hook which enables her to swing from buildings in a manner similar to Spider-Man, though not quite as fast.
