During the first volume of [[ComicBook/BlackCatMarvelComics the Black Cat's 2019 series]], she infiltrated Tony Stark's company building to create an "Iron Cat" [[PoweredArmor suit of armor]] for her own purposes using Tony Stark's Nanoforge. Tony confiscated the armor and stashed it away. So imagine both Tony and Felicia's surprise when someone attacks Felicia wearing the Iron Cat armor which has now been upgraded with a much more powerful arsenal. Motivated by intersecting goals -- Tony wanting to keep his technology out of dangerous hands and Felicia wanting to save her skin -- Iron Man and Black Cat team up to stop the wearer of the Iron Cat armor who turns out to be Felicia's ex-girlfriend Tamara Blake.

* JurisdictionFriction: Issue #1 shows a flashback to a job Black Fox, Felicia and Tamara pulled in Pershyy Misto, the Republic of Carnelia. Felicia managed to get the items they wanted but is failed to make it out unseen and is being chased by the local police. Black Fox calls the country's national police who have a mutual hatred for Pershyy Misto's local police due to their overlapping jurisdictions. The two factions end up clashing, allowing Felicia to escape.
-->'''Tamara''': Oh my god. You've set the cops on the cops.
-->'''Black Fox''': Take note, darling. Even your enemies have enemies.



* SequelEpisode: To [=MacKay=]'s ''Full Metal Black Cat'' arc from the first year of his ''Black Cat'' run.
* TechnicianVersusPerformer: Tamara and Felicia's approaches to theft are portrayed this way. Tamara is the more practical of the two, being good at planning heists and staking out targets, but is also rather predictable. Felicia is more impulsive and careless when it comes to heists but can also adapt to problems much more quickly.

!!Tropes found in this miniseries include:

* AntagonistTitle: The Iron Cat is one of the two main villains of the story and the titular character.
* AvengingTheVillain: Tamara wants revenge on Felicia for killing the Black Fox, who was the mentor to both of them. Felicia had been forced to kill the Black Fox when he sold Manhattan to a death god in exchange for immortality, but that is of no importance to Tamara.
* CommonalityConnection: PlayedForLaughs. When Felicia comes to Tony for help, he tells her they have no common ground and nothing she can say will make him let her in. Which leads to this exchange:
-->'''Tony''': What was that?
-->'''Felicia''': I said... my ex-girlfriend is trying to kill me with super-science.
-->'''Tony''': Oh my god. We do have something in common. Come in. That has happened to me ''so many times''.
* MoreDakka: When Felicia created the Iron Cat armor, it had no ranged weaponry, only had claws for offense and made up for its lack of durability with speed and maneuverability. Tony rebuilt the suit after it fell apart and added repulsors and missiles.
* NotMeThisTime: Tony initially suspects Felicia of stealing the Iron Cat armor which she truthfully denies. Issue #2 reveals that this was what Tamara was hoping for -- when Tony calls Felicia to accuse her of the theft, Tamara traces the call, allowing her to find Felicia's location and attack her.
