Along with 28 other orphan girls, she was raised by KGB/HYDRA and subjected to various physiological and psychological experiments. Medically sterilised, tortured and forced to endure gruelling training, Natasha emerged from the program a ruthless assassin. The program was based on the successful Winter Soldier Program that produced the Winter Soldier. The Winter Soldier himself was deployed periodically to train the young Spiders in combat. Natasha's memories of the Red Room have been augmented by HYDRA, she was implanted with artificial memories, believing that she was training as a ballerina in the Bolshoi school, rather than assassins training however the artificial memories were patchy at best and Natasha could recall swathes of her training and tortures. [color=cadetblue][center][b][u]Graduating from the Red Room and Early Assassin Years[/u][/b][/center][/color] Natasha began carrying out assassinations for the KGB, though despite her proficiency, she drew little joy out of her espionage career and began to question where her allegiances lay.

When SHIELD agents discovered that Black Widow was alive, they attempted to kill her in the hospital, she escaped and with no where to go, returned to HYDRA but began working as a double agent, squirrelling away information to feed to SHIELD and pave the way for her to defect from HYDRA and ally herself with SHIELD.
