For the next several years, Patsy would live on a number of Air Force bases, her marriage slowly souring as Buzz became more angry and irritable with each successive mission.Īfter Buzz was assigned to a security post at the heavily government-subsidized Brand Corporation in New Jersey, Patsy met the Beast and discovered that he was also newly-hired genetics researcher Hank McCoy. By this time, Patsy, being well out of her teenage years, was able to distance herself from Dorothy and marry Buzz, who’d joined the Air Force and served on tours overseas. Over time, Patsy grew to resent her mother’s manipulative ways and hunger for fame and a rift grew between them. Her constant exposure to comic books, however, left Patsy in awe of not only comic book heroes but the Super Heroes that existed in her own world-Reed Richards standing out as someone she developed an early crush on.

The comic lasted for years, locking Patsy in an “America’s Sweetheart” fame bubble that she was relieved to leave once the series ended. The comic series skyrocketed, turning Patsy, as well as Buzz and Hedy, into household names. When that didn’t work out, due to Patsy’s own lack of interest and commitment, Dorothy started a comic book containing fictionalized romantic adventures of her daughter as a teenager.
Often living vicariously through Patsy, and constantly disapproving of her “tomboy” nature, Dorothy would pressure her daughter into modeling. During her formative years, Patsy’s fame-obsessed mother, Dorothy, never stopped looking to her daughter as a way to make a buck. Growing up in the sleepy berg of “Centerville,” Patsy would spend her teenage time with Robert “Buzz” Baxter and frenemy Hedy Wolfe, who would sometimes become jealous due to her own crush on Buzz. A child raised in the spotlight-from fashion model to “starring” as the lead character in a fictionalized comic book based on her life-Walker would eventually find secondary fame as the costumed Hellcat and inadvertent notoriety as a champion for Hell itself. As the rare Super Hero whose pre-costumed identity is as famous, or even more famous, than her crime-fighter persona, Patsy Walker AKA Hellcat grew up idolizing the heroic super powered vigilantes she’d eventually join.
