Anastasia Hardy (1994-1998)

History
Anastasia Hardy was the wife of John Hardesky and the mother of Felicia Hardy as well as the head of the Hardy Foundation.

Anastasia once worked with Otto Octavius but refused to fund his research. Later, as Doctor Octopus, Otto kidnapped Felicia for ransom but Spider-Man later rescued her.

Anastasia was later attacked by Doctor Octopus when she claimed the credit of an invention that Doc Ock had apparently made. The Green Goblin later kidnapped Anastasia along with the other stockholders of Oscorp but they were all freed by Spider-Man.

Doctor Octopus, again, threatens Anastasia with releasing information about a jewellery heist that had been carried out years ago by her husband, John Hardesky, also known as cat burglar 'The Cat'. After this ordeal, Anastasia was briefly reunited with her husband who had been broken out of S.H.I.E.L.D. custody by the Kingpin. John soon returned to S.H.I.E.L.D. though, after his daughter had become the Black Cat.
