Strange Spécial Origines #196

In "Le retour de la Veuve Noire," the Black Widow attempts to regain favor with a communist leader by stealing Tony Stark’s newly developed anti-grav ray device and using it to assault Fort Knox. Iron Man arrives to stop her, destroying the device in the process, but the Black Widow vanishes before he can capture her.

In "La sinistre Licorne !", Iron Man faces off against a mysterious Soviet agent known only as the Unicorn, whose high-tech armor and ruthless tactics threaten Stark Industries. When the villain kidnaps Pepper and injures Happy to lure Iron Man into a trap, the hero must decide whether to surrender or risk everything to stop a devastating attack on his factory.

In "Œil de Faucon et la nouvelle Veuve Noire frappent à nouveau !", Hawkeye and the newly costumed Black Widow launch a daring assault on Iron Man, testing his defenses with precision and flair. As the battle unfolds, Tony Stark returns to find Pepper not just relieved, but warmly embracing him—leaving Happy to quietly reckon with his own place in the picture.

In "La Veuve Noire...", Black Widow pulls Daredevil from the water after a dangerous encounter, then teams up with him to dismantle a threat posed by the Owl. As they confront the villain, the truth emerges: Mr. Kline is actually the robot MK-9, a deadly operative who answers to the name "Assassin."
