Black Widow (Natalia Romanova, aka Natasha Romanoff) is a [[Marvel Comics]] superheroine. Introduced in the [[Silver Age|Silver Age of Comics]] in the pages of ''[[Iron Man|Tales Of Suspense]]'' #52 (April 1964), she has been a regular supporting character (and occasional lead) ever since, including stints on ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'' (as the chairperson, for a time), ''The Champions'' (again as the leader), and as a partner to [[Daredevil]].
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
Natasha has had various miniseries in the past, and recently had an ongoing series.
[[Scarlett Johansson]] portrays Black Widow in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]]

* [[Action Girl]]: In her first appearances as a villain she was mainly just a seduction agent who relied on incompetent minions to handle the violence, but over time she’s been [[Retcon|retconned]] into always having been a total badass.
* [[Animal-Themed Superbeing]]: Of the ''Animal Alias'' variety.
Line 24:
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: At times.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: See also [[Expansion Pack Past]].
* [[Development Hell]]: Where her movie
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: As mentioned above, Scarlett-as-Black Widow in ''Iron Man 2'' threw off the filming for a few minutes during her first appearance.
* [[Expansion Pack Past]]: There was originally nothing in her backstory to suggest that she was quasi-immortal. This only developed (confusingly) in order to keep a famous late 1980s team-up issue of ''[[X-Men|Uncanny X-Men]]'' set in the 1940s that had her as a young girl meeting [[Wolverine]] and [[Captain America (comics)]] in continuity. This concept has had some rather large implications for the character’s background.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[Sensual Slavs]]
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Has been rocking one for 40 years and counting.
* [[Street Urchin]]: Natasha was one after her parents died until she was caught by the [[Secret Police|KGB]] and sent to the [[Training from Hell|Red Room.]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Thanks to a Soviet supersoldier serum derivative, she’s around 80 years old and still looks fabulous.
** Same thing with her boyfriend James Barnes (aka Bucky, aka Captain America). He looks like he's in his mid 20s, but he's really roughly 90.
