Growing up without a family or friends and being trained as a spy in the Red Room didn’t leave much room for trust. But when that heart did melt, it meant a big deal. She didn’t have plenty of friends, but those who stuck around were her most trusted allies. Though rare, these set of friends were lucky to earn the spy’s faithfulness, for she’d do anything for them. Find out the 10 best allies of Black Widow who fought by her in the Marvel Universe.
