Walter Hardy (Earth-1048)

Walter Hardy, also known as his alternate alias Detective Mackey, is a side character in Marvel's Spider-Man. He is the former Black Cat and the father of Felicia Hardy.

The Black Cat
Walter Hardy became a cat burglar at some point, donning the title of the Black Cat. His skills as the Black Cat had caught the attention of the Maggia. When offered a role in the Maggia, Walter declined and let himself get arrest in an attempt to avoid the Maggia harming his family. Knowing that the Maggia would try to target his daughter to reach him, he escaped from Ryker's Island, faked his death and assumed a new identity.

Meeting Spider-Man
Finding Spider-Man's contact information from Yuri Watanabe, Hardy had contacted the wallcrawler asking for assistance in tracking down the paintings that he stole during his time as a cat burglar. Peter agrees to help Hardy and as he looks for Hardy's paintings, Hardy tells the backstory of the Black Cat to Peter.

Fleeing New York
Shortly after Peter finds Hardy's last painting, Hardy tells Peter to take care of his daughter. Peter, finding that comment strange, decides to try to reach Hardy again only to find that the number he had been using to contact Hardy had been deactivated. Peter went back to the Greenwich Precinct to try and find Hardy, only to find that he has disappeared. It was at this moment Peter realized that the person he thought was Detective Mackey is truly Walter Hardy, the original Black Cat. When contacted again, Hardy tells Peter to take care of Felicia.
