The thing about Spider-villains judging Black Cat for doing good-guy stuff is too many of them have had face turns over the years.
Take Sandman, for example. He used to work for Silver Sable in the Wild Pack and has even been a reserve member of the Avengers.
Doctor Octopus famously tried being a good guy when he was piloting Spider-Man’s body for about a year and change.
The Green Goblin became the Gold Goblin when Norman Osborn excised the evil parts of himself through comic book nonsense.
Kraven the Hunter(‘s clone son) hung around with Squirrel Girl long enough to attempt a redemption arc.
And of course, Venom because so popular that a never-ending series of, well, series has made him his own corner of the Marvel Universe.
So excuse me, Tombstone, if I’m a little suspicious of your suspicion that people can’t change. Why don’t you take that negative attitude out for sloppy steaks at Truffoni’s?
