Black Widow (Yelena Belova)

Black Widow (Yelena Belova; Russian: Елена Белова; Ukrainian: Олена Бєлова, romanized: Olena Bielova) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is depicted as a spy and was the second modern-era character to use the Black Widow name. She first appeared in Inhumans #5 (March 1999) and was created by Devin Grayson and J.G. Jones. She was trained as a spy and assassin in the Red Room. Originally, Yelena was a foe of Natasha Romanova and was sent to kill her, but the two later became allies. She was also a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., Vanguard, and HYDRA; the latter organization changed her into a version of Super-Adaptoid. As Super-Adaptoid, she was one of the members of the High Council of A.I.M. She reverted to her original codename Black Widow in 2017. She is the first confirmed asexual character in the Marvel Universe.
Florence Pugh portrays the character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Widow and the Disney+ miniseries Hawkeye (both 2021).
