Deceased

**Natasha "Nat" Romanoff** (born **Natalia Alianova Romanova**; known by her codename **Black Widow**) is one of the main protagonists of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She was a skilled Russian spy she assassin who was trained by Madame B in the Red Room with others in the Black Widow program until she was recruited by Clint Barton (Hawkeye) into becoming an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. after being called a national security threat. She has also been a member of the Avengers and was initially supportive of the Sokovia Accords and fought on Tony Stark's side until helping Steve Rogers/Captain America. After hiding, Natasha took part in the Infinity War and the Time Heist by sacrificing herself for the Soul Stone to revive those who were lost in the Blip.

She is one of the main protagonists of the *Avengers* tetralogy. She is also a major character of *Iron Man 2*,*Captain America: Civil War*, and *Captain America: The Winter Soldier*. She is a minor character in *Thor: Ragnarok* and *Captain Marvel*, a posthumous character in *Spider-Man: Far from Home* and the titular main protagonist the upcoming *Black Widow*, which takes place after *Captain America: Civil War*.

## Background

Natalia Alianova Romanova was born in Russia to unknown parentsOver time, Natasha became the deadly assassin, **Black Widow** after training in the Red Room. She became a threat to the SHIELD agents, and Nick Fury sent Clint Barton to eliminate her. Instead, he recruited her, and Nick Fury approved. Natalia took the name Natasha Romanoff and developed a long friendship with Clint and become an aunt of sorts to his children.

At another unknown point, Black Widow was tasked to protect someone but the Winter Soldier intervened.

### Appearance

Natasha is a tall, attractive woman. She usually has red hair that gradually would change. Recently, Natasha's hair has been dyed blond due to being on the run.

### Personality

A woman who had the smallest ego of all her teammates, Natasha was very calm and collected when it came to tough situations. However,, her life before a SHIELD agent was that she was very mysterious and very deadly. Despite being the apparently deadly assassin, Natasha was actually not as deadly as people thought she was, as she was quite reasonable in leaving to the SHIELD agency. She was able to adopt many personalities, due to her being trained in this profession, and was also able to fool others.

Natasha was a very fearless person. However, when it came to Bruce Banner as the Hulk, she was very scared of him, but she was able to control this fear due to her falling in love with him. She was even scared when facing Bucky Barnes (AKA the Winter Soldier), especially after being seemingly fatally injured by him. She was willing to protect many other people, those close to her and even

She has an individual relationship with each of the Avengers. However, her relationship with Thor is uncertain. She was very close with Clint, and had something of a aunt/niece/nephew bond with Clint's children. Over time, she saw Captain America as a friend and was willing to protect Vision against the Black Widow.

Despite not having any superpowers, like Clint or Tony, Natasha is just as strong and powerful as they are and very strong in battle.
