Details
Professor Grigor Pchelintsov was recruited to the Winter Soldier project to assist with the various modifications for use of Zola's serum with female DNA. Once all of the changes were in place, the new formula was successfully introduced into Rebecca Barnes’ system, converting her into a useful operative.
After his success with the second Winter Soldier Project and spurred on by the rising tensions between the United States and the USSR during the Cold War, Professor Pchelintsov spearheaded the creation of the Black Widow Project (Проект: Черная Вдова), which would utilize and refine the data they’d acquired through their experimentation while modifying the USSR’s super soldier serum for Rebecca. Thanks to the USSR’s desire to surpass the West in all things, Pchelintsov was able to operate the program precisely as he believed it should be run, meaning without those pesky things called morals that those in the West were so often hung up on. With unprecedented access to the greatest scientific minds of the time as well as the most sophisticated equipment, facilities, and trainers, the Black Widow Program officially began operation in 1975 with a group of twenty-eight girls, aged eight.
Subsequent years of induction for new, potential Widows were 1982 (candidates were aged six), 1988 (candidates were aged four), 1995, 2002, and 2009. They found that the younger they started the girls, the greater the likelihood of success and the larger the number of operatives who survived to graduation. The generational lag allowed for evaluation of newly acquired data and the implementation of newly adjusted protocols. The success and continued operational freedom of the program continued to attract additional scientific talent over the years, including one Dr. Lyumila Kudrin.
Roster
Natasha Romanoff | Part of the third wave of inductees in 1988, Natasha rose in prominence as one of the best Black Widows produced, until her defection in 2015. See her individual page for details. |
Yelena Belova | KGB trained, former NSB and former mercenary, Yelena was offered either recruitment or execution by SHIELD. Choosing the latter, she quickly carved out a place as their best and most ruthless agent, despite her relatively young age. Widow has no powers but is one of the most lethal hand to hand combatants in the world and uses a variety of devices, including her 'Widow's Sting' in combat. She is now a member of The Avengers.
