Black Widow: 12 Huge Rumours That Would Change Everything

2. Natasha Is A Super Soldier

Natasha Romanoff is quite simply, an incredible character. Ever since she was brought into the Avengers, she has stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and many others, and has never looked out of place. She even led the team during the five year time skip in Endgame.

Against these super soldiers and demi-gods, Natasha, a normal human being, should be way out of her league. There is a theory however, that she is not a normal human being at all. Could Natasha Romanoff have been a recipient of the same serum that turned Steve Rogers into Captain America?

The theory from ScreenRant points out that David Harbour's Red Guardian seemingly proves that the Super Soldier programme was adapted in Russia as well as the United States. There is also precedent for this in the comics, as it was revealed Nat went through the procedure in the 2004 Black Widow miniseries.

Could the Red Room also be a home for Russian super soldiers? IMDb currently has Oliver Simms listed as playing 'Super Soldier' in an uncredited role, so it seems possible. If in fact Natasha was the subject of such an experiment, this could change everything we thought we knew about the character.
