Peypeypeypey Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 This scenario doesn't seem like it's in Black Cat's area of expertise at all to be honest. She's more of a cat burglar than a kidnap and brainwash type, at least to my memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I could see a story line where Black Cat grabs an heiress as part of a larger burglary goal and the Heiress ends up Stockholming on her as a (likely comedic) plot point. All that said, I don't know that this scenario favors Adrian given his own obsessive-compulsive disorder, multiple phobias and other psychological issues. I think I like the Black Cat here.

Something you have to remember though is that there have been times Monk has been able to cast his phobias and compulsive disorders aside to not only try to live a normal life but also solve a case and rescue a victim such as when they had to catch a barefoot shooter or when in the first season he started having feelings for someone that maybe(?) reminded him of his late wife. Speaking of wife, because of his former love life, it's possible he could also snap the girl out of her stupor hearing she fallen for him when it's just brainwashing by comparing his own experiences of being married himself as well as feeling the pain of losing Trudy after the car bomb.

To be fair in the comics, when Wilson Fisk fell out of power for a while, Black Cat took over his turf as the Queenpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macklemore Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 Also, Black Cat kidnapping someone and him falling in love with her (or maybe just being infatuated with them due to her being both attractive and seductive) seems doable, even if not part of her MO. That being said, I don't truly know if Monk can do it or not. I'm going to go with he can after a lot of back and forth between him and the guy kidnapped, who believes Black Cat is not just using him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizzaguy2995 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Glad to see that my characters already got some people backing her. As a reminder, the scenario seems to indicate that Felicia has already kidnapped the heiress and that now all she has to do is successfully hide from Monk and Felicia has ghosted and evaded plenty of intelligent and resourceful men over the years such as Spidey, Kingpin, and Doc Ock.

SSJRuss Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I don't know much about Monk, but this challenge seems within his wheelhouse much more than Black Cat's is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergy_Berg Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Big question is if Monk can get the hostage away from Black Cat. And the answer is plainly no. Monk is not a capable combatant, Black Cat should have no issue dispatching of him if he tries to come anywhere near her hostage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
