friendly reminder that natalia alianovna romanova:
was alive during world war 2
was rumored to be related to the last ruling czar in russia
is actually around steve’s real age, if not older
“she is bio-technologically and psycho-technologically enhanced; an accounting that provides a rationale for her unusually long and youthful lifespan”
while in the Red Room, nat trained under the winter soldier and that’s where she got the name black widow
her husband alexi was the kgb’s answer to cap aka the red guardian
there were 26 other girls in the Black Widow Program
was the director of shield
actually does have superpowers that are similar to steve’s
she is classified by shield as a superhuman
“Natasha’s natural agility is heightened to a level greater than that of an Olympic gold medalist”
“Natasha’s bodily tissues have been augmented to the pinnacle of human development. Though she can be injured in the typical ways other humans can be, she possesses exceptional human strength, endurance, and stamina.”
“While she is susceptible to disease, the Black Widow has been enhanced by biotechnology that makes her body resistant to aging and disease and heals at an above human rate.”
“She is an Olympic class athlete, gymnast, acrobat and aerialist capable of numerous complex maneuvers and feats.”
“Natasha’s intellect is at level 3, putting her on par with Steve Rogers.”
“Natasha can hack into all computer systems without tripping any firewalls or security with ease.”
“Natasha is often [Cap’s] first choice as a second-in-command officer in the Avengers, enabling her to utilize all of talents.”
