Such a wonderful century it's been.

Natasha Romanova's been all over the place the last few months, and now she finally gets a story all her own. Four scans from Black Widow: Deadly Origin #1.

The first issue cuts between some scenes from Natasha's past and her present. In the past, after a man named Ivan takes her to a man named Taras Romanov for training/parenting (since they have the same name) (and with a brief cameo by the Man of Steel himself), she meets the omnipresent man:

"No matter how many Nazis we have to kill...who we have to work for to be free...I'll never leave your side." (this said over a montage that includes some images from the famous Wolverine/Cap issue of Uncanny X-Men)

Jump ahead sixteen years:

Meanwhile, in the present, someone has activated the "icepick protocol", which is systematically targetting everybody she knows.

	Hold on a second-wasn't Natasha a little girl when she met Wolverine? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She's only twelve here (this comic gives her birth year as 1928). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Super-Soldier Formula or Infinity Formula? Or is it something else that makes her immortal? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Russian's version of one or the other, I think. It also gave her peak human strength and agility and a mild healing factor. (Reply to this) (Parent)
