| 24 | I'm Starting with the Black Widow in the Mirror |
I imagine this is how Natalia Alianovna Romanova a.k.a. Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow starts her morning. Fluff up the crimson do, make sure the leather battle suit is snug and take an iPhone shot for posterity. No harm in wanting to look good (and remembering the good looks) after a long day of kicking ass.

Natasha Romanoff is like the Evelyn Salt of the Marvel Universe. She was born in Russia, brainwashed by the KGB and, later, goes on the run in an effort to do good in the world. Her training in the "Red Room" gives her near-superhuman fighting abilities. She's also trained in the art of wall-clinging, demonstrated here by this nice Black Widow cosplayer.

In a rare Marvel/DC Comics crossover, Black Widow takes on another one of the deadliest women in comics: Poison Ivy. Hopefully she packed plenty of S.H.I.E.L.D.-grade ointment.

How the Walmart photographer must have felt when this Black Widow cosplayer strutted into his studio...
The high quality picture features the faux-Natasha Romanoff doing what the Russian assassin does best: bending. Be jealous of the geeky male on the receiving end of this photo.

| 20 | The New and Improved Natasha Romanoff |
Now that the Marvel Movie U has become its own distinct and acceptable universe, movie cosplayers are being embraced by the more traditional comic-based groups. Yes, we live in a world where movie Black Widow can stand proudly alongside comic Black Widow without a cat (er, arachnid) fight breaking out.
