Yelena Belova is a formidable spy and assassin in the Marvel Universe, often associated with the Black Widow program. Trained in the Red Room like Natasha Romanoff, she initially believed herself to be the superior Black Widow, leading to conflict between the two.

Her early appearances pitted her against Natasha, as Yelena sought to prove her worth and surpass her predecessor. She operated under various guises and allegiances, sometimes working for nefarious organizations.

Over time, Yelena's character evolved. She eventually came to terms with Natasha and even worked alongside her on missions, demonstrating a complex and often competitive, yet ultimately loyal relationship. She often found herself on heroic sides due to Natasha's influence.

Following Natasha's death, Yelena has stepped into a more prominent role, grappling with her legacy and defining her own path. She is a skilled fighter, strategist, and possesses the same extensive training as Natasha, making her a powerful and unpredictable force.
