It seems Felicia Hardy, AKA Black Cat, is going to wind up being hunted by Mendel Stromm/Gaunt when she steals something of his using what's described as an “enhancement”. This puts Silver Sable on her tail because the lethal mercenary (here portrayed as a bounty hunter for the U.S. Department of Justice) hopes Hardy will lead her to Stromm, who has been performing some kind of experiments on the Symkarian people.
