When Patricia Walker helped Hank McCoy and learned his alter-ego was Beast, she promised to keep his secret safe, as long as he promised to help her become a "super heroine". When her marriage was not turning out the way she had hoped, she went to Beast, who was now one of the Avengers, to remind him of his promise. She went with the Avengers to investigate a Brand Corperation owned building. When one of Greer Nelson's costumes was found, Walker quickly put the costume on and called herself 'Hellcat'. She helped the Avengers and was offered a membership but she was pursuaded by Moondragon to go training in psychic ability, and advanced barefoot martial arts on the moon Titan. The training gave her minor psionic potential. Once returning to earth she assists Doctor Strange and joined the Defenders.

During this time she developed her Psionic Powers. Patsy, Mocking Bird, and other heroes got ressurected by Grim Reaper and were tainted with hatered towards the Avengers.
