Yelena Belova might be connected to the MCU’s Black Widow through their familial connection, but her comic counterpart is an entirely different story. The Yelena of Earth-616 actually idolized her Black Widow and was obsessed with the idea of surpassing her. This naturally led her down a villainous path for a time, more often than not being a frequent enemy of Black Widow than an ally. As time passed though, the two would eventually become sisters-in-arms as they finally worked to put their abusive origins behind them and live their lives on their terms.That being said, it was no picnic for Yelena to successfully turn her life around. She had to frequently swap one villainous organization for another, seemingly lose Natasha, and then lose her own life, all before coming back and getting a fresh start. Yelena might not have had the easiest life, but in many ways, her story highlights how far the Black Widow program has come, with its victims recognizing that the success they crave isn’t worth being enslaved to the whims of masters who would happily discard and replace them. By today’s standard though, Yelena and Natasha do have a similar relationship to what is portrayed onscreen, which will likely impact the character’s leading role in the upcoming Thunderbolts* adaptation.In her eyes, Natasha was the ideal to meet and then exceed. Yelena would spend many years training to surpass her predecessor, and many of her test scores during this time indicated that she succeeded in this task, doing better than Natasha had at this stage of her life. Of course, this is just testing in a controlled environment, the difference in experience would become all too apparent when the two would meet years later.âââââ
