Character Relationships
Captain America
Natasha almost admitted that she enjoys training with Steve.
Cosmo the Spacedog
Black Widow questioned Cosmo about how he became telepathic, and the head of Knowhere Security. He refused to tell her, and she respected him for guarding his secrets.
Dum-Dum Dugan
Black Widow breaks the news to Dum-Dum Dugan that he was killed on a mission fifty years ago, and that he's now a Life-Model Decoy.
Enchantress
Amora is mean to everyone at the Academy, including Natasha. Natasha has admitted that she doesn't hate Enchantress as much as she should.
Grandmaster
In all his years exploring the multiverse, the Grandmaster never met anyone as genuinely apathetic as Black Widow.
Hawkeye
Clint and Natasha used to date. According to Clint, they broke up because he's "an idiot." Even with the end of their relationship, Kate tells Natasha that Clint can't stop thinking and talking about her. After Clint joins the Avengers Academy, Wasp swears that she's never seen Black Widow smile more.
When Clint's hearing aids break, Natasha was frustrated with him for feeling sorry about himself instead of fixing the problem. Afterwards, she told him how much his bad attitude and refusal to let others help bothered her. She then partnered up with him to help regular people with everyday problems.
Iron Man
Tony flirted with her a lot, but she turned him down. She once went on a fake date with him, but admitted at the end it was only to find out information, and she didn't have romantic feelings for him.
Loki
Loki and Natasha worked together on various missions, and according to Wasp, there might be something else going on there.
Misty Knight
Black Widow and Misty Knight previously teamed up to fight assassins in Harlem.
Nick Fury
Nick Fury is Natasha's boss. Natasha is extremely suspicious of him and spends most of her time trying to figure out what he's hiding.
Pepper Potts
Pepper Potts recruited Natasha to the Academy.
Singularity
Natasha asks Singularity for help finding Thanos. When this draws Thanos' attention, Natasha promises to protect her from him. Singularity calls Natasha her "scary friend."
Tiger Shark
Black Widow infiltrated Pet Avengers Academy and spied on Tiger Shark, confirming his plans to wake Fin Fang Foom.
Viv
When Viv questioned how to form friendships, Black Widow advised her that it's important to be self-confident enough to be comfortable with or without friendships.
Wasp
Janet seems to have a bit of a crush on Natasha, as she frequently comments on how cool Natasha is.
Soundbites
Natasha is voiced by Alison Brie.
- [whispered] "Can you keep a secret?"
- "Follow me. And do exactly as I say."
- "Forget you ever saw this."
- "Good to know there's at least one competent person on my side."
- "How do I know you're not a double agent?"
- "I'd ask why I'm the only one taking this serious, but your answer would just annoy me."
- "I'd rather work alone."
- "I'm. Just. Peachy."
- "It's...not that I don't trust authority. It's just that I don't trust anyone."
- "Let's find what this place is hiding!"
- "Please don't make me hurt you."
- [loud sigh] "The things I do for spying..."
- "Tch. What're you looking at?"
Gratitude Lines
- "Thanks. You might be the one person here I respect."
- "I owe you one. Let me know if you're ever about to be assassinated."
- "Thanks. I guess you aren't completely useless..."
