Natasha Romanoff is one of the most talented spies and lethal assassins in the
world, being said by her instructor Madame B. to be the best student in the Red
Room, never failing a single test. Both the KGB and S.H.I.E.L.D. considered her as
one of their most dangerous operatives. Romanoff is highly skilled in martial arts,
armed combat, espionage, infiltration, disguise, manipulation, evasion, hacking,
and assassination. Romanoff's extraordinary skill-set has made her a core member of
the Avengers.

Master Spy: Romanoff was a dangerous secret agent highly skilled in espionage,
stealth, disguise, infiltration, and demolitions. Her talents and years of
experience have enabled her to reach a high ranking as a special agent of
S.H.I.E.L.D. Romanoff is well versed in internal destabilziation and was soon
deemed a threat to global security because of this. She often resorts to seducing
men to obtain her goals while working undercover, such as when she posed as an
assistant to evaluate Tony Stark for the Avengers Initiative. Romanoff's skills
were so legendary that Nick Fury created a Lie Detector that he hoped she could not
deceive. Councilwoman Hawley even stated that she was unaware Romanoff was Russian
due to her complete lack of an accent, stating she sounded perfectly American.

Master Martial Artist: Romanoff was one of the best fighters in the world, having
been trained from a young age in the Red Room and S.H.I.E.L.D. in her later life as
a top operative. During her time in the Red Room, she was seen using her martial
arts to defeat a grown man by swinging his head into the corner of a desk, proving
how formidable she was even when she was young. She was extremely skilled in the
field of martial arts, having mastered arts such as boxing, Sambo, Aikido, Hapkido,
Judo, Lucha libre-style wrestling, Krav Maga, multiple styles of Kung Fu, Karate,
Muay Thai, kickboxing, Vovinam, Jiu-jitsu, Savate, Wing Chun, Ninjutsu, Taekwondo,
Bojutsu and Kali with her batons. Romanoff has efficiently taken down many enemies,
such as a squadron of armed soldiers after being ambushed in a hotel room, multiple
Hammer Industries security guards, Georges Batroc's armed pirates, several members
of STRIKE, Chitauri aliens, Ultron Sentries, and Outriders. She was skilled enough
to be able to defeat a mind-controlled Hawkeye, maintain the upper hand against
Ant-Man, and even hold her own against the much stronger Winter Soldier, though he
was able to bring her down in the end. Black Widow also managed to compete with
Proxima Midnight alongside Okoye, even managing to disarm her with her baton,
holding her off long enough for Wanda to kill her. In addition, she had enough
skill to stab Corvus Glaive using Proxima Midnight's Spear.
Spear Mastery: Romanoff shows great skill in the use of a spear in close combat,
she was seen wielding a Chitauri staff to battle the Chitauri. She was also
skillful enough to use Proxima Midnight's spear to almost kill Corvus Glaive.
Romanoff also combined her batons into a staff to battle Proxima Midnight, using it
to defend and attack simultaneously.
Staff Mastery: Romanoff possessed tremendous skill in using a staff, demonstrating
her prowess during the Battle of Wakanda to fight against Proxima Midnight.
Master Acrobat: Romanoff was highly skilled in incorporating gymnastics and
acrobatics into her fighting style as she battles opponents. During her fight
within Hammer Industries Headquarters, Romanoff used these skills to defeat the
guards. During the Chitauri Invasion, she got to ride a Chitauri Chariot by using
her acrobatics to commandeer it.

Master Assassin: Romanoff was notorious in the art of assassination, considered to

be one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. She was known to have killed
many people during her time serving the KGB and S.H.I.E.L.D.. During her time in
the Red Room, Romanoff was trained to kill without remorse and was seen
demonstrating her sharpshooting skills on a live captive, showing no emotion as she
killed him.

Master Marksman: Even at a young age, Romanoff was a talented marksman

Romanoff was a very accurate marksman skilled in sharpshooting. During the Battle
of Washington, D.C., Romanoff would have shot the Winter Soldier through his eye if
he had not been wearing his protective goggles. She had also been trained from a
young age in the art of sharpshooting, as she was seen practicing on targets,
making several headshots in quick succession.

Multilingualism: Romanoff was fluent in Latin, Russian, English, French, German,

Chinese, Italian, and various other languages.
Gifted Intellect: Romanoff's intellect seemingly put her on par with Steve Rogers
and Clint Barton. She possessed the ability to quickly process multiple information
streams (e.g., threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical
situations. Romanoff also possessed a vast knowledge of human anatomy, displayed by
her often using joint locks and hitting enemies in the weakest parts of their
bodies; for example the crotch, stomach, armpits, and the head. Her prodigious
skill from her years of training also allow her to predict her opponents' plans of
attack as well, such as when she was able to save herself, Captain America, and
Falcon from being shot by the Winter Soldier by predicting the order in which he
would shoot at them through the roof of their car. Victoria Hand has even stated
that Romanoff does not usually require extraction teams on S.H.I.E.L.D. missions
and is resourceful enough to make her own escape.

Master Interrogator: Romanoff was able to trick Loki into telling her about his
plan to use Hulk against the Helicarrier to bust him out of his cell. She was able
to do a "reverse interrogation"; while she seemed to be in danger, in truth, she
was getting all the information she wanted to know.

Expert Hacker: Romanoff could hack into most computer systems without tripping any
firewalls or security. She used this talent to hack into Hammer Industries
mainframe and help James Rhodes regain control of the War Machine Armor and enabled
him to help Stark fight the rest of the attacking Hammer drones, and again to
access the location of Camp Lehigh from the USB Steve Rogers received from Nick
Fury.
Pilot: Romanoff was a skilled pilot, capable of flying a Quinjet with ease.

Black Widow's Bite: Electroshock weapon that can deliver powerful electrical
discharges from two bracelets worn by Romanoff. When the Chitauri forces invaded
Earth during the Battle of New York, she used the Widow's Bite to electrocute
several enemy troops by jamming her charged fists into them. Romanoff used the
Widow's Bite to take out a pirate guarding the Lemurian Star ship's engine room.
Romanoff acquired a more powerful version of the Black Widow's Bite from Tony
Stark, which causes the piping in her suit to light up and glow. She made use of
her bite during the Avengers Civil War. She zapped Ant-Man with her bite, sending
her miniaturized opponent flying away, and later used the bite to cover the escape
of Captain America and the Winter Soldier by using Taser Disks fired from her bite
to hold off Black Panther.

Black Widow's Batons: Electroshock weapons that can deliver powerful electrical
shocks to incapacitate her targets. Romanoff used the batons to take down dozens of
Ultron Sentries with a combination of her weapons and martial arts mastery and
later employed these weapons during the Avengers Civil War, although not charged
with electricity. She once again utilized her batons to battle the Black Order and
the Outriders and was able to combine them to form a staff; she kept these batons
in a holster worn on her back.
Taser Disks: Romanoff used two Taser Disks aimed at the feet of one the security
guards at Hammer Industries Headquarters, paralyzing his legs to temporarily
disable him.
Garrote: Romanoff stored a garrote within her Bite, which she utilized to aid in
her escape from a nightclub in Moscow by using it to strangle and then throw an
opponent over a railing and down a stairwell. Romanoff then employed it again while
infiltrating Hammer Industries Headquarters, using it to deflect the blows of one
of the security guards at Hammer Industries Headquarters, and later to strangle him
until he lost consciousness. During an attempted ambush on the Winter Soldier,
Romanoff jumped onto his shoulder from behind and attempted to strangle him with
her garrote, only to be thrown off.
Makarov PM: During her training with the Red Room, Romanoff trained with this gun,
shooting it in quick succession while alternating her shooting arm, and being
forced to use it against living targets.
Walther PPK/S: Romanoff's original weapon of choice. She carried it when she went
to stop Ivan Vanko at Hammer Industries Headquarters, but chose not to use it
against the security guards inside the complex.
Heckler & Koch USP Compact: Romanoff took a Heckler & Koch USP Compact from one of
the guards at Hammer Industries Headquarters. She dual-wielded it along with her
Walther PPK/S when she stormed inside the room where Ivan Vanko was supposed to be,
only to find it empty.

Glock 26: Romanoff replaced the Walther PPK/S for a pair of Glock 26 handguns,
continuing to use them for the rest of her life as her weapon of choice. She had
one of them concealed in the abandoned house in India where she staged a meeting
with Bruce Banner, and then used both her firearms shortly after to fight the
Chitauri army during the Battle of New York. Romanoff continued to used them during
her missions with S.H.I.E.L.D., killing some of Georges Batroc's pirates during a
mission to rescue the Lemurian Star, and later during a shootout against the Winter
Soldier in Washington, D.C., managing to shoot and damage his goggles and forcing
the Soldier to remove them. During the Battle of Sokovia, Romanoff resorted to the
use of her handguns to shoot point-blank some of the Ultron Sentries. She still
carried them during the Clash of the Avengers, but she kept them holstered so as
not to harm her former allies. During the Time Heist, Romanoff carried them on her
mission to Vormir, where she pulled it out after being altered by Red Skull,
although she never used it.
Glock 19: The Glock 19 pistol is the standard sidearm carried by STRIKE. Romanoff
was able to obtain one of them when she posed as Councilwoman Hawley inside the
Triskelion, using it to threaten Alexander Pierce. She also retrieved one of these
guns hidden beneath the bar of Avengers Tower in order to shoot at the Iron Legion
drones hijacked by Ultron. She used it to great effect, shooting one Iron Legion
drone in the head while running up the stairs with Bruce Banner for cover, and
continued to fire at another before Steve Rogers destroyed it with his shield.
Glock 17: Romanoff managed to obtain this gun from one of the mercenaries working
for Crossbones who attacked the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Lagos. When
Romanoff grabbed the gun, one of the mercenaries threatened to release the
biological weapon they had just stolen. She used it to quickly kill one of the
mercenaries while Redwing killed the other, managing to secure the biological
weapon.
Colt M4A1 with a M203 Grenade Launcher: A fully automatic carbine and the standard
weapon used by S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team members, outfitted with a grenade launcher.
Romanoff took the weapon that the Winter Soldier had been using and shot a grenade
at him, forcing him to make his escape before he could kill Steve Rogers in
Washington, D.C.

Chitauri Staff: Romanoff took one of the staves used by the Chitauri army when they
invaded New York City and effectively used it against them as both a ranged and
melee weapon.
Scepter: Romanoff used Loki's Scepter to shut down the Tesseract portal device as
Erik Selvig instructed.
Proxima Midnight's Spear: Romanoff used this during the Attack on Vision against
Corvus Glaive.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Uniform: Black Widow's first uniform was a bluish-black catsuit. It

zipped up the front and had fingerless gloves with a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the
shoulders. It had two belts, one of which had a red hourglass symbol on it and the
other serving as a utility belt. It also had a thigh holster.

Tactical Uniform: Her second uniform was a slightly modified version of her earlier
one, made of smooth gray fabric. The red hourglass was brighter and the belts were
slightly different. The only major difference was the inclusion of built in wrist
tasers.
Stealth Uniform: Her third uniform was worn while working on S.H.I.E.L.D. missions
with Captain America. Her uniform became black with gray webbing, a S.H.I.E.L.D.
logo on her right shoulder and her trademark red hourglass over her stomach. It
also features her Widow's Bite, a utility belt, and two thigh holsters.
Avengers Uniform: The fourth uniform worn by Black Widow was similar to her second.
She wore a black suit with black padding at the shoulders, knees, and elbows. Her
suit also contained a more powerful version of her Black Widow's Bite which when
used caused piping on the suit to light up. She also wore a thigh-holster on her
left leg.

Second Avengers Uniform: The fifth uniform is much sleeker then the previous
version. Her suit is not leather, but rather a more tactical stretch Kevlar instead
of the usually printed stretch fabrics used, making it bulletproof. The uniform
also contains titanium plated shin guards. Her boots have kinetic rebounding soles
that add bounce to jumps. The suit incorporates her usual red hourglass and Widow's
Bites with long-range upgrades.
Black and Gray Uniform: To be added

Fugitive Uniform: The eighth uniform consisted of a black suit with a green
bulletproof vest worn over it. Having padding on its knees and elbows to provide
protection and additional striking capabilities. The uniform had her Widow's Bites
included and had tall, heeled boots. The uniform has a thigh holster on her leg and
a holster for her batons on her back.
This section requires expansion
Third Avengers Uniform: The ninth uniform was a black suit with gray detailing on
the front, as well as shoulder and knee armor. It has a holster on the back for her
batons, her Widow's Bites, and a belt with two thigh holsters.
Advanced Tech Suit: This suit was designed in order to time travel through the
Quantum Realm safely. It is a white, red, and black suit that materializes around
the wearer's regular clothes when time travel is required and disappears when no
longer in use. It has size-shifting adaptability down to subatomic levels and a
wrist gadget that allows for displacement through time and space.
Other Equipment
Flash Bombs: Romanoff used two of these Flash Bombs to blind some of the security
guards at Hammer Industries Headquarters, easily dispatching them afterward.

Pepper spray: Romanoff took one of the pepper sprays carried by Hammer Industries
security guards, and used to dispatch the last guard before attempting to arrest
Ivan Vanko.
Miniaturized Smoke Grenades: Romanoff used some miniaturized smoke grenades given
to her by Phil Coulson to create a diversion on Yuri Klementiev's yacht, using the
smoke to simulate a fire.
Glider Harness: Romanoff used the Glider Harness when she was forced to flee when
Mikhail Fjodorov was killed by a woman that called herself Sofia.

Photostatic Veil: Romanoff used a Photostatic Veil in order to disguise herself as

Councilwoman Hawley and stop Project Insight.
Explosive Security Badges: To be added
Transmitter Pager: A communication device used by Nick Fury, an ordinary Earth
pager modified by Carol Danvers using Kree technology for use as an instrument of
last resort in extreme emergencies. Fury was eventually forced to use it in
response to the Snap. It was later found and used by the Avengers.
Vehicles
Quinjet: Romanoff has used a Quinjet for transportation to travel around the world
and take out threats during active missions as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and as a
member of the Avengers. She usually co-pilots the Quinjet, controlling the weapons
that are built into its systems.
Chitauri Chariot: During the Battle of New York, Romanoff realized that they needed
to close the portal after containment proved to be overwhelming. Captain America
helped her to jump on a Chitauri Chariot to quickly ascend to Stark Tower while the
rest of the Avengers continued to battle the Chitauri.
Jeep: During the Attack on the HYDRA Research Base, Romanoff and Barton used a Jeep
to fight the HYDRA soldiers and move around faster. When all the Avengers regrouped
to attack the HYDRA soldiers, Romanoff crashed the Jeep as she and Barton jumped
out to continue fighting on foot.
Motorcycle: Romanoff used a Harley-Davidson LiveWire motorcycle during her missions
with the Avengers prior to its destruction during the Battle of Seoul.
Truck: Romanoff drove a truck with a plow attached to its front in order to run
over many Ultron Sentries so she could rendezvous with her fellow Avengers at the
citadel.
Benatar: Romanoff and the Avengers used this ship to travel to the Garden to undo
the Snap and kill Thanos. Years later, Romanoff and Hawkeye used this ship to
travel to Vormir to obtain the Soul Stone during the Time Heist.
Facilities
Red Room Academy: Romanoff was raised and trained at the Academy from a very young
age after being recruited to the KGB. There, she endured both an education and
indoctrination into the world of spycraft.
Stark Industries Headquarters: When Romanoff was tasked with watching over Tony
Stark by Nick Fury, she went undercover as Stark's personal assistant. As part of
her undercover mission, Romanoff was required to perform tasks for Stark, working
at his headquarters.
Avengers Tower: After the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D., Tony Stark decided to fund the
Avengers, redesigning Stark Tower as a new headquarters for the team. After
retrieving Loki's Scepter, the Avengers held a party at the tower which fell under
attack by a newly created Ultron. The Avengers then proceeded to search for Ultron
in the tower, going through their files until they came across Ulysses Klaue.
Clint Barton's Homestead: When Romanoff was spared by, and eventually became best
friends with, Clint Barton, she was one of the few people to know of his family.
She would develop a close relationship with the family, forming an aunt-like
relationship to his children, often visiting his home, including when all the
Avengers were defeated by Ultron.
New Avengers Facility: After the Ultron Offensive, the Avengers relocated their
base of operations to a facility upstate. There, Romanoff and Steve Rogers would
train the new lineup of Avengers, as well as use it as their place of residence.
