Black Widow, also known as Natasha Romanoff, is a minifigure in the Marvel Super Heroes theme.

Description Edit

She has the same hair part as Elsa Schneider in dark orange (Part 85974) and a double-sided face with happy and angry expressions. She has a black torso, arms, hands, and legs. Her torso printing has a belt with pockets and a siver buckle, feminine curves, grey lines to add shape to the suit which is zipped up to almost to her neck with a bit of chest showing. She also has a second belt at the lower left of her torso and it continues onto the legs, along with straps. She has back printing depicting the suit against her back and the continuation of the blue stripe and the belt.

Black Widow is based on her appearance in The Avengers.

Her appearance is identical to her physical version.

Background Edit

Natasha Romanoff was a Russian spy who was spotted as a target by S.H.I.E.L.D. They sent Clint Barton (Hawkeye) to kill her. In the end, Barton refused to kill her, and Natasha has since owed Hawkeye her life.

Black Widow was first seen in the series as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. She became Tony Stark's new aid at Stark Industries under the alias "Natalie Rushman", but was later revealed to Stark by Nick Fury that she was actually working for him, looking after Iron Man for recruitment purposes. She later stormed Hammer's facility looking for Ivan Vanko as the Black Widow freed War Machine from Vanko's control.

Natasha was captured by Russians who managed to figure out she was a spy. In secret, she was getting the information she needed from them. Coulson called her, informing her that she was needed and Hawkeye had been compromised and broke free and turned the tables on her captors. She was tasked with recruiting Bruce Banner to track the Tesseract, which she was successful. She later helped Captain America and Iron Man apprehend Loki. She used her interrogating skills to get Loki to reveal his escape plan, which was to unleash The Hulk. During the attack on the Helicarrier, she attempted to talk with Banner, but failed and tried to outrun the angry Hulk, until she was slammed against a wall, but was saved by Thor. She then confronted Hawkeye, and knocked him out, returning him from Loki's spell.

She later joined the newly formed Avengers team, which also consisted of Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, and Hawkeye, in an attempt and repel Loki and his Chitauri army that were trying to take over the Earth. She took out many of the Chitauri, and rode one of the Chitauri's flying vehicles to the top of Stark Tower, and used the built in shut off switch using Loki's staff. She saw Thor return Loki and the Tesseract to Asgard, and afterwards returned with Hawkeye to the sevices of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Notes Edit

• The NY version has her hair being brown instead of red as seen in a picture of the Quinjet from a poster at the Nuremberg toy fair.
• Her preliminary face from the New York Toy Fair is the same face as Wonder Woman's.
• In the film, her top belt doesn't match with the pocketless belt with the Black Widow insignia and her hair is neck length instead of shoulder length. Also, her hair is literally red, not orange.
