Appearing as the second story in the Infinity Warps issue 1 comic, Green Widow is the fusion
of Black Widow and She-Hulk; a combination that many were surprised to see come into
fruition.
The Infinity Warps series are the product of the recent Infinity War story arc, in which
Gamora has gotten her hands on the infinity stones and the gauntlet, and has halved the
616 universe in half, popping it inside the soul world.
Everyone in the universe is now part of a fusion, and some of them, just like Green
Widow, are absolutely wild.
So today, we’re diving further into this new yet not so new character, with our list
of the top 10 Green Widow Surprising Facts!
10 Her New Partner Green Widow’s story begins with an enthusiastic
voice over from her new partner, Cat’s Eye.
Cat’s Eye is an amalgamation of Clint Barton’s Hawkeye and Patsy Walker’s Hellcat, an unexpected
fusion that is full of enthusiasm, and has lots of explosive arrows.
Green Widow enters the Chem Laboratories Industrial building, ditching her disguise and getting
down to business while Cat’s Eye is just a ball of optimistism and excitement.
Cat’s Eye even goes on to ask her new partner who she’s doing in general, and that she
hopes Green Widow thinks of her as her wingman.
9 Her Suit Green Widow’s suit in this story is altered
to allow her to transform more easily into her Hulk self.
Rather than Black Widow’s typical suit that covers her arms and legs, this suit is much
more skin revealing; it’s got a much wider collar, slightly shorter sleeves and no pant
legs.
While, sure, that falls into textbook sexy superhero costume, it also provides a means
for Green Widow to not absolutely destroy her outfit when she transforms into her angrier
self.
8 Her Tactics Green Widow is very much an amalgamation of
Black Widow and She-Hulk when it comes down to her fighting style.
She’s a sleek, precise and stealthy spy who expertly knocks out security after stealing
a mysterious vial.
But when reinforcements show up, she gets to smashing, busting out a much more aggressive
approach after she transforms into She-Hulk.
She also seems to have much more control of her Hulk form, similar to Jennifer Walter
in the comics.
Physically, her face also does not seem to mutate like Bruce Banner’s hulk, but rather,
her body and muscles grow in size.
7 Her Creators Mariko Tamaki and Francisco Herrera are the
two creators behind Green Widow.
Tamaki is a Canadian artist and writer, whose most notable works are Skim and This One Summer.
She’s also worked for Marvel on the 2016 run of the Hulk series, starring She-Hulk,
which begins with how Jennifer Walters is dealing with her life after the events of
Civil War.
Herrera is an artist with a very distinct style, and started his professional career
working on small projects at Warner Brothers with Looney Tunes, later moving on to Disney
as an official character designed.
He’s worked with Dark Horse, Marvel and DC over the years, and does a lot of work
in animation.
6 Bette Midler As we mentioned earlier, Cat’s Eye is pretty
determined to be Green Widow’s friend.
And to be fair, Green Widow, by the end of their story in Infinity Warps issue 1, is
pretty darn nice to Cat’s Eye.
Guess she got that from Jennifer instead of Natasha.
Anywho, just as Green Widow is about to take off, Cat’s Eye asks her a ‘follow up question’,
asking if Green Widow likes Bette Midler.
She never actually gets an answer, but states that if she does, the two of them will “really
have something…”
Now aside from Bette Midler being the butt of some Deadpool jokes, we’re not really
picking up on whether or not this line is a reference, so if any of you out there got
it, let us know in those comments below.
5 Animated Muscle Women Here’s a slightly weird number for you.
Almost immediately after the character was announced, Green Widow was added to the animated
muscle women wikia, listed under the tags Marvel, arm muscles, red heads and Green Skin.
Surprisingly, if you’re like us and masochistically curious, she’s not the only one to appear
under the Green Skin tag.
Obviously the OG Jennifer Walters is there, but so is Lyra the savage she-hulk, a Disney
genie named Eden, and strangely enough, Jean Grey.
So there you have it, a brief glimpse at a part of the internet probably not a lot of
you have ever ventured over to.
You’re welcome.
4 Iron Titania One of Green Widow’s villains featured in
her story is Iron Titania, who appears to be the amalgamation of super villain Titania
and Iron Maiden, both respective villains of She-Hulk and Black Widow’s.
For the most part, the villain has the body of Titania, with the Iron full body costume
of Iron Maiden’s that increases her strength and protects her from most force impacts.
Iron Titania’s appearance is quite brief in the story though, with Green Widow knocking
her out with a statue pretty dark quick, only a page after she first appears once security
arrives on the premises.
As Cat’s Eye puts it, looks like they brought you something to smash.
3 The Green Room While Green Widow is taking on Iron Titania,
Cat’s eye makes a comment about the green superheroine swinging around a statue to bash
the villain in, joking, by the way, where did you learn to swing a bat?”
To which Green Widow response, Green Room, and Cat’s eye says, right, of course.
We can only assume that the Green Room in which Widow is referencing is a different
take on the Red Room, the Soviet training facility that was created to pump out highly
specialized spies, like Natasha and Yelena Belova.
The Green Room is likely a very similar facility.
Unfortunately the origins of Green Widow were never revealed in the comics, so we’re only
left with speculation concerning how exactly the whole gamma radiation factor came into
play in her life.
2 Her Hair Just like Black Widow, Green Widow always
has a trick up her sleeve.
Or rather, in her hair.
At the very end of the story, after Widow and Cat’s Eye knock out all of their foes
thanks to an explosive arrow, we see the two of them chatting in an alley way.
Cat’s Eye asks, hey, where do you keep stuff you can’t lose when you’re all supersized?
To which Green Widow answers by simply fishing the vial out of one of her large hair buns.
1 Her Car As the two heroes part ways, Cat’s Eye asks
Green Widow if she needs a ride, only to realize that Widow already has her own set of getaway
wheels.
And what does she drive?
A comically small yellow Smart Car.
How wonderfully ironic.
It also appears that Green Widow is flipping Cat’s Eye off when Cat’s Eye reacts to
the car, saying “oh, THIS is you!
Okay.”
Take a look at Widow’s right hand.
Her arm is sticking up with her hand raised, and it kind of looks like her middle finger
is sticking straight up.
The whole story kind of has that chalky feel to it, so it’s a tad hard to make out.
There we have it friends!
