The OG Black Widow, there are few comic book characters and spies as widely beloved as Natasha Romanoff. Her story is pretty much known to everyone by now. She started out as a bad guy, was sent to spy on U.S. before switching sides and becoming a leading figure in battle against evil.

Trained in the Red Room, there is hardly any kind of combat or weapon she hasn’t mastered. She could kill someone just as well with a pen as she would with a gun. Whether she was standing on her two or tied upside down, she would still find a way of turning the tables on her adversary.

Her arsenal includes the type of weapons and gadgets that could very well put James Bond’s employers to shame. Energy weapons, smoke screens, blades, you name it. As for her achievements, her prominent role with the Avengers has seen her involved in most of Marvel’s major story arcs over the decades, saving the world on more occasions than James Bond ever has.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
