==History==
===Infiltration into Hammer Industries Headquarters===
After joining S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Widow was equipped with her own personal weapon created by S.H.I.E.L.D., a pair of bracelets, dubbed her "Bite". She would wear these whenever she wore her S.H.I.E.L.D. uniform, allowing her to be armed at most times. When she went to find Ivan Vanko at Hammer Industries Headquarters to stop his attack, she suited up, equipping her bracelets to help in the fight.

====Attack on the Helicarrier====
Black Widow would go on to receive a modification for her bracelets, giving them a glove attachments and blue lights. During a security exercise on board the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, Black Widow got the opportunity to test her Bite against an "infiltrator". However, the weapon malfunctioned after the first shot and she was forced to discard it.The Avengers: The Avengers Initiative

In 2016, during the Attack in Lagos, Natasha Romanoff ineffectively employed her Bite against Crossbones, finding out that he no longer felt pain.
====Clash of the Avengers====
Later, Romanoff used her Bite at the Leipzig-Halle Airport in Germany during the Avengers Civil War as she fought on Tony Stark's side. After getting restrained by Scott Lang, Romanoff zapped him with her Bite, sending her opponent flying away as he was forced back to his original size. Later, acting against her team, Romanoff let Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes escape via Quinjet by using Taser Disks fired from her Bite to hold off T'Challa.

====Chase for the Red Dust====

However, Dreykov forced Ingrid to kill herself with the Bite when he saw that she was badly injured.
====Melina Vostokoff's Deception====
To infiltrate their way into the Red Room Academy, Natasha Romanoff and Melina Vostokoff formulated a plan to disguise themselves as each other. Once the Red Room soldiers arrived, Romanoff, now disguised as Vostokoff, found Yelena Belova, and knocked her out with the Bite, pretending as if Vostokoff was betraying her family.
====Destruction of the Red Room====
Natasha Romanoff faced off against the Black Widows inside the Red Room Academy, where she used her Bite to fight off the overwhelming number of opponents. After getting some distance between herself and the Widows, Romanoff was able to rapidly fire her Bite at multiple Widows to hold them off from attacking her. However, she would soon become swarmed and unable to use her Bite.
===Time Heist===
In 2018, Romanoff had her Bite equipped with her, however, she did not use it during twoAvengers: Infinity War events. In 2023, Romanoff brought her Bite with her during the Time Heist when she traveled through the Multiverse using the Quantum Realm to arrive into an alternate 2014 timeline. She used her Bite one last time on the planet Vormir to stun Clint Barton and shot her Taser Disk at him so she could jump off the cliff and make the sacrifice instead.Avengers: Endgame
===Attack on Clint Barton===
In late 2024, Yelena Belova ambushed Clint Barton on the roof of a building in New York City and engaged him in a fight.

==Trivia==
*In Iron Man 2, Black Widow wears a pair of bracelets reminiscent similar to the Black Widow's Bite during her raid on Hammer Industries searching for Ivan Vanko. However, these bracelets do not have the same glove attachments and blue lights and are not used like the Black Widow's Bite in The Avengers. This pair was most likely a prototype or an older model.
*S.H.I.E.L.D. Files' name for the Black Widow's Bite is the "Widow Stings".
