Major Story Arcs The Defenders Patsy and Daimon Since this version of the character is a meta-character and fictional within the Marvel Universe, her creation in the mainstream Marvel Universe may be dated to her appearance in Fantastic Four Annual #3 (1965). Patsy Walker was created in 1944 by Ruth Atkinson and first appeared in Miss America Magazine #2. Once returning to Earth, she assists Doctor Strange in a battle and before long joined his superhero team known as the Defenders. The training gave her minor psionic potential. After this mission Patsy was offered a membership but she was persuaded by Moondragon to train in psychic ability and advanced barefoot martial arts on the moon Titan. Baxter vowed vengeance after he was humiliated by his ex-wife. Patsy raked Baxter's face to prove that she was serious, so he complied and released the Avengers. Hellcat managed to escape and threatened her ex-husband with her claws if he would not release the Avengers. Upon their return, the Avengers were captured by Brand operatives. Inside the building, she traveled with the Avengers to the Squadron Supreme's dimension. Patsy donned the costume and took the name 'Hellcat'. It was there that Patsy found one of Greer Nelson's (the hero known as Tigra) old costumes from when she was known as The Cat. She and the Avengers went to investigate the illegal activities of a private army quartered in a Brand Corporation-owned building-the same company her ex-husband worked for. Beast, wanting to keep her promise, allowed her accompany him on an Avengers mission which was relevant to her. She found him working as an Avenger and reminded him of his promise. Soon after the Beast left the Brand Company, Patsy divorced her husband and went looking for the Beast. When Patsy helped Hank McCoy and learned of his alter-ego, she promised to keep his secret safe as long as he promised to help her become a "super heroine". Baxter was vexed by the presence of the mutant X-Man Beast on the premises, unaware that he was the newly-hired genetics researcher Hank McCoy. Disturbed by some certain incidents he experienced in Vietnam, Buzz became tense and irritable and the young couple's dream of a happy married life seemed to vaporize before their eyes.ĭuring this time, Buzz was promoted to captain and was sent to the Brand Company where he would supervise the security surrounding certain projects. Buzz had joined the US Air Force and served a number of tours overseas. Married life was not as good as Patsy had hoped. Happier TimesĮventually Patsy married Buzz and so Hedy and Patsy stopped living together, although the two girls remained close friends over the years. This does not necessarily mean that these stories never happened in normal continuity, but it would make them second-hand retellings that would have been 'romanticized' a bit, if not outright fiction by Dorothy Walker. In later issues, it is implied that most of the adventures Patsy, Hedy, and Buzz had were fictionalized stories her mother wrote. This meant that within the Marvel Universe there were actual "Patsy Walker" comic-books alongside other story-within-story comics such as "Millie the Model". Upon Patsy's request, she asked her mother to base characters on Robert Baxter and Hedy. This was because Hedy also had bit of a crush on Buzz.Īt the same time Patsy's mother, Dorothy Walker, began to write fictionalized romantic adventures of her daughter as a teenager. Hedy was a good friend, but could become overly jealous of the attention Patsy had from boys, most notably the boy she was dating, longtime friend Buzz. When Patsy was old enough, she and Hedy rented their own place and the two lived together for some years. In her teenage years, she started dating Robert "Buzz" Baxter, whom she already knew from childhood on. There she grew up with long-time friend and sometimes arch-rival Hedy Wolfe. Patsy was born in a dull little town called "Centerville".
