History Characters / MCUNatashaRomanoff

* AmbiguouslyBi: A lot of her interactions with Peggy have flirtatious undertones, with her expressions when [[spoiler:seeing Peggy interacting with Steve coming across as either a JealousRomanticWitness or [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy a supportive friend who knows she can't have her]].]]

* BestFriend: Is this to Captain Carter, who knows a lot about Natasha's background and even refers to her as a "BFF" when talking to her counterpart.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's only a minor character in the Season 1 finale, but it's her close friendship with Peggy that allows the latter to convince the Natasha of Infinity Ultron's universe to join them against Infinity Ultron and ultimately, leads to that universe's Natasha gaining the opportunity to finally end Infinity Ultron's threat.

* AlternateSelf: There are 4 Black Widow variants. Unlike the Sacred Timeline counterpart, at least two of them are never shown dying.

* {{Catchphrase}}: "I only act like I know everything."

* ForWantOfANail: Unlike her Sacred Timeline counterpart, she somehow knows that her biological father's name is Ivan.

** Yelena isn't as close to her - in fact, she is a younger Black Widow, an [[AntiHero Anti-Heroine]] and often acts as TheRival towards Natasha who she feels AlwaysSecondBest against - a far cry from the little sister he is portrayed as in the MCU.

* MemeticBadass: InUniverse. In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', she is the go-to example of badassery in the SecretAgent department, just like Melinda May is for combat expertise.

* FireForgedFriends: Her solo movie reveals that [[spoiler:she and Clint originally tried to kill each other, but ended up working together to take down Dreykov.]]

* KilledOffScreen: [[spoiler:We never actually see how Natasha is killed; the last we see of her, she was dragged away into the darkness by Hank]].

* AdaptationalNiceGirl: She's far more open and social than her comics counterpart, getting along with her Avengers co-workers and growing to view them as a family.

* AgeLift: ''The Winter Soldier'' states she was born in 1984. In the comics Natasha's birth year is unknown, but she is one of the few superheroes not bound by ComicBookTime and is upward of fifty thanks to a longevity-inducing serum. She and Yelena are also closer in age to each other, whereas their comic counterparts were decades apart.

* BoobsOfSteel: She's a tough fighter even without superhuman strength, and her costumes are cut in ways to make her chest look nice and shapely. She's also one of the more busty women of the MCU, along with Peggy Carter, Wanda Maximoff, and Carol Danvers.

* PromotedToLoveInterest: She has had little interaction with Bruce Banner in the comics, but becomes his love interest in ''Age of Ultron''. This is partially because Bucky Barnes and Daredevil, Widow's two major love interests in the comics, have no real connection to her in the MCU continuity.
