                              the 1960s, one of the more interesting
                              characters introduced into the Avengers
                              comics was that of Natasha Romanoff, a
                              Soviet/Russian agent code-named "The
                              Black Widow." The Black Widow in
                              the comics went from a Cold War
                              adversary to a trusted member of

                              Avengers
                              and an agent of SHIELD. In the recent
                              Marvel Studios movies, the Black Widow
                              is an agent of SHIELD, a confidant of
                              Nick Fury, and is a vibrant red-head
                              played by the shapely Scarlett
                              Johansson.

In the movies produced by Marvel
                              Studios, the Black Widow is an agent of
                              SHIELD (and, as of 2012), her origin
                              still unknown. Black Widow works for
                              Nick Fury, the Director of SHIELD, and
                              is first seen in Iron Man 2 as a
                              covert agent implanted in Tony Stark's
                              company. Her name is given as Natasha
                              Romanoff, a Russian emigre who, in her
                              role as The Black Widow, kicks bad-guy
                              butt without equal (for a hero without
                              super-powers). Scarlett Johansson
                              reprised her Black Widow role in The
                              Avengers movie released in May, 2012 in
                              the United States.
