10 Things You Didn't Know About Black Widow

7. She's Had Some Pretty Great Costumes

Perhaps due to her multiple career changes, it took some time for Black Widow to find her style (Avengers! They're Just Like Us!). An essential skill for a superhero spy is impersonation and Natasha has really honed her skills at that over the years. Her initial look was the fabulous but highly impractical combination of a cocktail dress and a veil. This carried over from her years as a Soviet spy to her post-defection life but didn't last long once she teamed up with Hawkeye. After all, it's hard to do high kicks in an A-line skirt. She then trialled a blue cape and mask combo, with a fishnet bodysuit underneath and (presumably dyed) black hair. Eventually she settled on the look she's best known for now- black bodysuit, lots of weapons, comfy looking boots and short red hair.
