Varying from their costumes and their history per series, the main goal of the publishers and its creator is to ensure that their character can adapt to the ever-changing trend of the society. Among the comic superheroes who have indeed changed tremendously is Marvel Comic’s Black Widow. Several fictional super heroines versions with this name have appeared in Marvel’s main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe. The character has been introduced in various persona, namely Claire Voyant, Natalia Romanova / Natasha Romanoff, Yelena Belova and Monica Chang. Claire Voyant was one of the first costumed, super powered female protagonists in the comics created on 1940. She was an antihero who kills evildoers to deliver their souls to Satan, her master. The character is unrelated to the later Marvel Comics super heroines who took in the codename. Natalia “Natasha” Alianovna Romanova, however, was the first character to take on the Black Widow codename in the modern mainstream of Marvel Comics.
