10 Moments Of Sheer Badassery In Marvel Cinematic Universe

8. Black Widow Escapes Her Captors (The Avengers)

During an interrogation (where, at first, it seems as though Natasha Romanoff is a hostage - though she's actually using it to her advantage, knowing that she can escape at any time), Black Widow's 'captors' receive a phone call from SHIELD agent Phil Coulson. Coulson tells the captors that he knows exactly where they are and that he could blow up the entire block they're in very easily, so the captor hands the phone over to Black Widow, who explains she's 'working' and that the 'moron' is giving her everything. When Coulson explains that her good friend Hawkeye has been compromised, she asks to be put on hold. Whilst still tied to a chair, she begins kicking some serious butt. Within 30 seconds, she's free of the chair and all three captors are subdued. She picks up her heels and calmly walks off.
