1st appearance of Nightcat, a character developed by Stan Lee intended to have real world synergy in the music industry

The real world counterpart of Nightcat was named Jacqueline Tavarez who released an album in 1991 titled 'Nightcat: #1 House Rule' but failed to place on music charts

Marvel quickly abandoned the concept to which Tavarez claimed was because of her involvement as a dancer in a music video produced by Joey Buttafuoco
