As you might expect, the plot kicks in. But first, one last look at that costume?



GODDAMN.

So Natasha's handler/father figure, Ivan, has been kidnapped and Natasha goes undercover, working with a treasonous American scientist.



Really, what did you expect to happen if you slept with Terry Long? Who is literally a dirty Commie?



Uh, Madame Natasha, they kinda did you a favor? Remember the part where he betrayed you in favor of SCIENCE? Not a good long-term prospect, anyone who does that. Just ask Sue Storm. But back to the fanservice.







But wouldn't you know it, Tasha runs afoul of the League of Ethnic Stereotypes some hired mercenaries, who eventually capture her. I pondered whether to post this and appeal to all the bondage fans, but hell, it's BLACK WIDOW HOG-TIED by a COWGIRL (hi Google!). Besides, no one sane could post this next picture and not BONDAGE of a character played by SCARLETT JOHANNSON.



Uh... yeah. Anyone remember that bit in Astonishing X-Men where Scott hallucinates a 'new costume' with a tutu and such? Apparently, he wasn't whacked out, just nostalgic.



Neither are we, Natasha. Neither are we. Couldn't she just take her catsuit off and put it back on? Quiet, you!

Then of course, there is the HOT SEMI-NAKED CATFIGHT.



And the rest, as they say, is history.
