Small profile about an odd demon I met once in a video game, during a big fat Slavic wedding. From the Thea: the Awakening game.

Black Widow

(Natalia Romanova) (Profile #2 - 1946-1965)

Part the second of our beautiful and deadly character profile for Natalia Romanova. This one covers 1946-1965, but in practice it mostly corresponds to her earliest Marvel appearances as a femme fatale after Tony Stark's industrial assets. Or at least, what he insists are industrial assets.

Madame X

(Nina Tsiolkovsky)
