What can I say? I am a Marvel fan. Marvel movies and comics have been lots attention over the past few years. Stan Lee is a genius. I am probably one of thousands who think this character is the bomb. I mean, the number of fansites dedicated to her is overwhelming. So whether you are in love with the original comic version or Scarlett Johansson in a bodysuit, Black Widow is amazingly awesome.

Stats:

Full Name: Natalia “Natasha” Alianovna Romanova
Age: 36 in her first comic appearance
Occupation: Spy, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, Avengers team leader

Who is She?

Black Widow is a woman of many names and roles. She is an enemy-turned-hero in the Marvel Universe. She began as a Russian (Soviet Union) spy and later became an ally of S.H.I.E.L.D and the West. She has worked with many other famous Marvel heroes in the universe. She is played by Scarlett Johansson in the Marvel films.

Fun Facts:

  1. Black Widow is an expert martial artist. Her repertoire includes kung fu, karate, and ninjistu.
  2. The Widow’s bite are gloves that deliver a 30,000 volt electric charge to an opponent.
  3. Black Widow can’t have any kids because of the experiments done to her.
  4. Emily Blunt was supposed to play Black Widow in Iron Man 2.
  5. Black Widow first appeared in Tales of Suspense #52 in 1964.

Why So Crushworthy?

Black Widow has it going on. She is tough, beautiful, and really good at what she does. I have a fondness for female spies who use more than their bodies. Natasha fits the bill. Black Widow is up there with Sif in my Marvel lady loves list. The lady has a long history. She begins working as a spy as a young girl. She gets experimented on by Russian scientists. She then meets Hawkeye and her life begins to change. She ends up as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent we all know and drool over. She is a woman of many talents and each one is marvelous.

Natasha starts off as a bad gal but ends up on the good side. She is a femme fatale but doesn’t always have to seduce her way out a situation. It usually ends with her kicking some serious butt. She knows how to play with the big boys as well. She’s stood her ground with the likes of Wolverine and the Avengers boys club. She even led the Avengers for a time. She doesn’t have to prove how strong she is — she just has to look at you. Natasha has many aliases but she’s always the incredible Black Widow. The second Black Widow had some big shoes to fill after Natasha.
