This is one of those character ideas that gradually change under different writers. Initially the daughter of a world-famous cat burglar, Felicia Hardy studied the trade, learned the martial arts, wore a low-cut black body stocking; you get the idea. On its own this was ok, but comic book writers can't leave well enough alone. Noting that black cats are symbols of bad luck, a later writer gave her the ability to subliminally affect probability fields, causing unlucky events to befall her enemies once they're in her line of sight. Not only is this insane (how does this work; why would affecting probability always make the luck "bad?"), but it has to be a pain in the ass for subsequent writers. Like Mr Miracle, whose powers only kick in if he's captured by his enemies, Felicia's abilities only matter when she needs a lucky break. That is, if she were better at her regular job of martial arts and cat burglary, the luck nonsense wouldn't matter. As a side note, more than one fight scene turned in her favour because her low-cut outfit distracted her opponents. That's just stupid.
