“We need a new weapon against democracy. Someone with the power to take down even the mightiest superhero capitalism can muster. Of course! Shooting ropes and walking on walls! Such powers would be unstoppable!” Poor Black Widow.
And then, the actual fight with Iron Man, does she use her awe-inspiring powers? No, she uses a gun. Money well spent on those “powers”, Natasha.
Thank you for mentioning the “B” on her cape brooch/pin/whatever. Just to make it better, I’m looking forward to her earrings having W’s on them. But seriously, I tease Widow because these early years are pretty bad for her, and her later look is how I was actually introduced to her, which is AWESOME! I’ll patiently wait over here for you to reach those stories. Any day now. Any… day… now…
Captain America and the “vision guy”. I’ve never read the early Cap stories, so I was floored to see this “Agent 13”, as I only know Sharon Carter by that name. Hoping to see more on that front!
Avengers and Wasp is dying and only lung guy can save her. You poor guys having to summarize this story. I don’t remember it well, and now I know why. Sheesh! I think I’ll stick with the retelling from 2004’s “Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” mini-series.
Until Ka-razy Ka-zar is joined by mysterious Agent 19, make mine Make Ours Marvel!
