The Falcon Officially Becomes Captain America’s Partner (Captain America #133) All of Natasha’s subsequent stories, from being a member of the Avengers, to her partnership with Daredevil, to her long-standing association with SHIELD, and pretty much everything about her MCU counterpart played by Scarlett Johansson, built on the changes made to the character in this issue. This story would then lead to a brief solo comic in Amazing Adventures and Black Widow being a regular heroic fixture in the Marvel Universe ever since. This was the debut of her skintight black combat suit, and her resolution to finally stop being a second-stringer and commit to being a superhero in her own right after testing her skills in a fight with Spider-Man. However, her guest appearance in ASM #86 is where Natasha finally started resembling her modern self.
First popping up in Tales of Suspense #52 along with the second Crimson Dynamo, Natalia Alianovna Romanova (anglicized to the far less cool Natasha Romanoff nowadays) started as a Soviet spy and antagonist to Iron Man, had a romance with Hawkeye, and then defected to the United States as a sometimes ally of the Avengers, if not a formal member. The Black Widow may be one of Marvel’s most famous female heroes now because of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but she first got her start as a villain back in the Silver Age.
