(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#11 (fb) - BTS) - Ian Soo lived in New York City with his girlfriend, Zoe Valencia.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#12 (fb) - BTS) - Zoe was lazy and messy, and frequently bossed Ian around. He grew very frustrated with the relationship as Zoe grew more aggressive and dismissive about his sexuality and past relationships.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#12 (fb) ) - Ian found Zoe home in an apartment full of squalor. She told him she needed him to clean up and run errands before her friends came over because she didn't want Ian to be be seen by them.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#12 (fb) - BTS) - The Terrigen Cloud hit Ian and he remained in stasis for three days. When Ian returned home, he found his things boxed up, and he argued with Zoe about how she was treating him. They broke up and he felt like he couldn't be honest about his sexuality anymore. He got a costume to use in case he ever wanted to wear it.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#1 (fb) - BTS) - Soo realized he had mild telekinetic powers. He used his powers for simple tasks, like retrieving the remote control, but eventually had thoughts of using his powers for personal gain.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#3 (fb) - BTS) - Landlord Mr. Ravina tried evicting Ian. Ravina had a reputation for kicking out residents quickly and holding on to their security deposits.
(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#1 (fb) - BTS) - Ian put a book on hold at Burly Books, and began chatting with other people who had powers on message boards online. He called himself Telekinian and robbed an armored truck of a little cash, but then had second thoughts and tried to return the cash, but the truck was gone.

When Hellcat saw a civilian in distress, Ian used his powers to help her retrieve her theater tickets, which had been thrown into a sewer grate by her boyfriend Bob. To help the woman get revenge, Ian and Hellcat sought out Bob, and Ian used his powers to hang Bob by his coat from a high statue in Central Park. Ian admitted that heroism felt good, but he had no desire to be a super hero.

(Patsy Walker, AKA Hellcat!#1) - Ian accompanied Hellcat, who revealed her identity as Patsy Walker, to visit She-Hulk, but She-Hulk had to let Patsy go from her current job, then Sharon King told Patsy she could no longer live in the building's storage room. Ian invited Patsy to stay with him, and she saw the apartment and accepted. Later, they stopped by Burly Books for Ian, but Patsy was shocked to recognize the man working there as her old friend, Tom Hale. Ian was shocked to realize that Patsy was the same person from the old Patsy Walker comic books.

That night, Patsy woke Ian up, revealing she had bed bugs and helped him realize he did as well. They confronted Mr. Ravina, who denied that the bed bugs were his problem. Sensing something mystic about them, Patsy took Ian to the home of Doctor Strange, where he met Wong, and Ian played chess with Wong while Patsy got a mystical upgrade. Ian and Tom later learned that Federigo had the power to summon bed bugs, and Patsy helped find him work. They also learned that Casiolena was gathering people with super-powers.

She-Hulk defeated Phil, an operative of Casiolena's, then rode Aragorn, Valkyrie's horse, with Tom and Ian to save the others. During the following fight, Ian dropped a stack of rocks on Casiolena's head, then she offered him a place on her team. Ian refused, but was shocked when the others thought he had been tempted. After they befriended Phil and Bailey, they realized Casiolena's aid, Poppo the Cunning, had lured them there. Later, Patsy showed Ian and the others the office space for her new temp agency.

Outside, they heard Zoe confronted Mr. Ravina, and Zoe yelled up for Patsy and Ian to come out and face her and her gang, the Black Cats, including members Lina, Ari, and Jin.

As they waited for Bailey to open her bag, they ate snacks they found in there, then they waited for Bailey to open the bag. When Ian failed to show up for a scheduled date, Tom went to check on him and Black Cat took over his mind.

After missing a few of the Black Cat's robberies, Ian, Hellcat, and Jubilee posed as the captives of Zoe, who took them back to Black Cat. Ian held off Tom as one of the other Black Cats hit him in the head with a brick, knocking him down.
