Black Jones
Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)
And now for something completely different. First appearing in April 1964 in the classic Marvel Comics "Tales of Suspense" number #52 battling Iron Man. This Russian beautiful superspy was co-created by the legendary Stan Lee and would serve as a fantasy footnote during the very real life times of the Cold War between the US and Russia that the entire world would be gripped by the thought of Nuclear War. Natasha would be written and cast as the villain in these early old comics (if you have some and in mint condition, you've got a goldmine in the attic), she would later defect to the US and fight alongside the first roster of The Avengers in their comic run of July 1966. Disney Marvel's take on the Black Widow character portrayed perfectly by gorgeous Scarlett Johannsson from 2010 in Iron Man 2 until her final appearance in her standalone solo film "Black Widow" in 2021 was a excellent depiction to begin with, but of course in this current era of all things "sexy", Hollywood started desexualizing the character away from her comic book roots and ultimately the viewer was left with an empty husk against what the superspy's main ingredient was all about - being sexy and sexual towards the opposite sex to gain attention, information and access for the good of the team. This woeful change was something the actress herself got behind on as the tub thumping of #METOO and #TIMESUP was already a dying movement having outed and ousted a lot of the bad men in and around Hollywood that preyed upon young actresses with reports and accusations of sex discrimination. As a result of these sanitised changes that was already evident to the screen character of Natasha in the last two Avengers films. The sexiness that was overt and present in her roles in "Iron Man 2" and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was now pushed down to bare minimums, no longer flirty and the classic black skintight costume was now just tight in areas but also bulky and armoured especially around the boob region. Hollywood's attempts to divert the "male gaze" is a real lifestyle movement by extreme left-wingers. But as always the best version of Black Widow resides in the classic Marvel comics from the 1960s and 70s where she was always very sexy and extremely dangerous. #14 from 19.
