Natalia Romanov more commonly known as
the anglicized Natasha Romanov is one of
the more curious members of the
legendary Avengers yeah unlike most of
them she doesn't have any ridiculous
superpowers and she even started out as
a bad guy
like many secret agents Natasha's past
is a mystery one account claims she was
raised by a soldier named Ivan Petrovich
who taught her the art of combat his
teachings were so affluent that Natasha
was kidnapped by an order of assassins
known as the hand intending to train her
as their master assassin luckily
Wolverine and Kempton boy scout rescued
her but she eventually put her talents
to use working for the KGB and becoming
the famous ballerina however the most
likely story was that Petrovich admitted
a young Natasha to a secret Soviet
program called the Black Widow ops there
in the infamous Red Room Natasha was
trained to be the deadliest spy in the
world she learned all sorts of stealth
assassination and martial arts
techniques including the newly invented
[ __ ] style which is basically like
street fighting judo [ __ ] with the
craziest grappling moves ever like how
does she even do that she's magic she
learned dozens of other martial arts
including karate Muay Thai Aikido and
kung fu and she's mastered all sorts of
weaponry becoming an expert marksman
damn sign me up for the spider ups don't
get the wrong idea the Red Room was
brutal Natasha was brainwashed literally
programmed with false memories which
included her days as a ballerina she was
even forced to duel other members to the
death crazy to think about considering
how much went into each one's training
but all the more to transform her into
the ultimate stone-cold spy codenamed
Black Widow
some gems it's the praise of victory
mama boomstick treat me and some friends
to eat over 60 hot dogs in ten minutes
that was the only one that survived
great I'd love to not hear any more
about that after we cover Widowmaker
next week
