Black Widow’s Legacy in the Comics
Black Widowis a staple superhero Marvel’s comics, animations, and films. She is a Russian spy who first appeared inStan Lee’s Tales of Suspense #52, who eventually became a member of the Avengers. Although her appearance in 1964 introduced without depth in comics, the Black Widow character transformed into something much stronger hero, featuring the suit and her red hair that fans have grown to love over the years, which is also the inspiration behind the new Black Widow-inspiredFunko Poprelease.
The character, moreover, first appeared on the big screen in 2010 as Tony Stark’s personal assistant in Iron Man 2. Since then, the character played byScarlett Johanssonhas appeared in a number of MCU features – from 2012 to 2021 – includingThe Avengers,Captain America: The Winter Soldier,Avengers: Age of Ultron,Captain America: Civil War,Avengers: Infinity War, andAvengers: Endgame, where the character unfortunately met her ultimate demise. Luckily, in 2021, a standaloneBlack Widowfilm was released, starring Johansson herself, alongsideFlorence Pugh,Rachel Weisz, andEver Gabo Andersonas the younger version of Natasha Romanoff.
While fans are still hoping to see more of Natasha in futureMCUfilms, you can have her (the miniature version) delivered straight to your home to join some of your collections throughAmazon here:
