Summary

As Yelena Belova’sWhite Widowheads back to the MCU for 2025’sThunderbolts , Marvel is giving the assassinator - turned - champion a new earmark arm . While the unexampled ' Widow ’s Fangs ' are n’t quite as powerful as whenYelena was upgrade with Super - Adaptoid technology , they do give her the type of unique ability she ’ll need to stand alongside Marvel ’s superpowered set .

In a trailer ofWhite Widow # 3 , Yelena go after the malign corp Armament , which keeps messing with her young life in the township of Idylhaven . To dispatch the charge , she suits up witha set of knives referred to as the Widow ’s Fangs . Each knife has a different ability - ' the Sting ' fork out a serious electric impact described as like being"tased from the inside,“while ' the Bite ' delivers a dangerous toxin . Yelena is able to correct the dosage , allowing her to either incapacitate or kill her butt ( she stay on a lethal hero , after all . ) Gyroscopic motility chastening helps stabilize the blades , which add toYelena ’s Red Room trainingmakes them one of Marvel ’s most unerring arm .

With early entries in the series retconning Yelena to be more like to her MCU picture - showcasing her making love of hot sauce and friendship with Kate Bishop ’s Hawekeye - it ’s more and more likely that the White Widow will be wielding the Widow ’s Fangs when MCU fans see her inThunderbolts .

Will the White Widow’s New Weapons Make the Jump to MCU’sThunderbolts?

A alumnus of the Red Room course of study - Russia ’s dreadful solvent to Weapon X - Yelena Belova was raised as an equal to the renegade spy the Black Widow . Long an enemy of Natasha and the Avengers , Yelena has of late rethought her life , first run with Black Widow in LA before mint out on her own as a advisor assassinator , passing on her attainment and training . However , spy are common in the Marvel Universe , and it incline to take a far-famed power or contrivance ( like Winter Soldier ’s branch or Black Widow ’s electro - jolt metal glove ) to really help them stand out . Now , the White Widow has exactly that .

The Widow ’s Fangs also accent Yelena ’s tie to Black Widow , who has long used blast gantlet which pack weapons including the Widow ’s Line grapple hook , the Widow ’s Kiss bang - out gas , and the Widow ’s Bite electro - shock gust . Yelena unavoidably live somewhat in Natasha Romanova ’s shadow , but since the two of them made peace and begin dissemble like kin ( another change which mirrors their closer MCU family relationship ) , she seems far more well-fixed with that fact - as the Widow ’s Fangs seem to intimate .

Hopefully , the new Widow ’s Fangs knife willmake it to 2025’sThunderbolts , giving theWhite Widowher own gimmick while crop alongside antiheroes like the nonphysical Ghost , cybernetically raise Winter Soldier , and Super Soldier Serum - enhanced U.S.Agent
