―Yelena Belova to Natasha Romanoff
Yelena Belova (Russian: Елена Белова) is the adoptive sister of Natasha Romanoff and a Red Room operative who worked for General Dreykov as a Black Widow. Following Romanoff's defection from the Red Room, Belova and other Black Widows were put through the mind controlling programming and turned into Dreykov's obedient subordinates. After being freed from the control, Belova joined forces with Romanoff, as well as their adoptive parents Alexei Shostakov and Melina Vostokoff, to bring down the Red Room once and for all. They eventually succeeded and liberated all Black Widows, with Belova directly killing Dreykov. After parting her ways with Romanoff, Belova spent two years freeing many of the remaining brainwashed Black Widows before she was killed by Thanos' Snap.
Early LifeTermination of the Red RoomFreeing the Black Widows―Yelena Belova to Ana Belova, alongside Red Guardian and Melina Vostokoff, mounted an effort to search the world for remaining Black Widows to free them from Dreykov's control, and deprogram their chemical-altered mind controls. In 2018, Belova and Sonya tracked down Ana and infiltrated her house where they approached the ex-Black Widow herself. Ana engaged in a fight with them, with Belova pointing a gun at her face, but Belova did not shoot, so Ana was able to disarm her. Eventually, Belova managed to gain an upper hand and while Sonya pinned Ana to the floor, Belova sprayed her with the Red Dust. However, to Belova's surprise, Ana was revealed to not being brainwashed by Dreykov, as she managed to purchase the house by working as an assassin for a living. After making a truce, Belova and Ana talked about her mission to save ex-Black Widows and Belova shared her results, saying that although her mission was difficult, it was worth it. Ana then asked Belova about Natasha Romanoff, to which she replied that her sister was doing well. Sonya then jokingly said that after they are done, Belova could reunite with Romanoff and live in New York City together, after which Belova left them to take a bathroom break.Snap and Blip―Yelena Belova and Ana In the bathroom, Belova stared at the mirror, slowly collecting herself before turning on the faucet. During this time, Belova found herself disintegrating into dust and could barely react before she found herself instantly rematerializing. Belova became increasingly confused upon noticing the walls beginning to change around her and stepped out of the bathroom to see the house completely renovated along with a man and a little girl in the living room. Belova then raised her weapon, demanding to know what was going on and asked the man who he was, but Ana came in and defused the situation. She told her husband and daughter that Belova was an old friend. Ana informed Belova that it had been five years since they last met, and that half of the world's population had also been erased from existence as well, during which she married and adopted a daughter. Ana suggested that Belova perform contract work and offered her to stay at her house for a while, but Belova, realizing that the year was now 2023 and that she missed out five years of her life, declined and told her that she needed to contact her sister and let her know that she was okay.―Yelena Belova to Kate Bishop
Having spent most of her life in the Red Room, Yelena Belova is a cynical person with a very sarcastic, deadpan sense of humor, with a bit of a bent moral compass as she notably had no problem holding a civilian at gunpoint and stealing his car to evade from pursuers, much to Natasha Romanoff's chagrin. Despite this, Belova does have a strong sense of right and wrong, having no problem with helping Romanoff take down the Red Room and freeing the Black Widows from being held against their will. Having felt abandoned by her family, Belova notably has a strained relationship with her adoptive parents and older sister, telling them outright how betrayed they made her feel when none of them came back for her. Despite this, Belova still cared and loved them, admitting to Melina Vostokoff that to her she will always be her mother, and telling Alexei Shostakov that he meant everything to her as a child.

•Master Martial Artist:
Belova is an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, having been gone through the training of the Red Room since young age in order to become a Widow, making her one of the most dangerous and best fighters on the planet. She was able to fight Natasha Romanoff evenly, matching her move for move before they had a truce. During the fight, she employed a wide variety of throws and locks. Compared to Romanoff's more acrobatic style of fighting, Belova has a more direct and hands-on way of fighting that seems heavily influenced by Sambo, including combat styles such as Kali, Krav Maga, Judo, Tae kwon do, Karate and Wrestling. Belova is able to quickly use her surroundings to her advantage and use random items as improvised weaponry. She was also able to easily fight off several surgeons at once while escaping the Red Room, and was able to quickly incapacitate a guard by disorientating him and sweeping his legs out from under him. Yelena was able to easily outclass Kate Bishop, while simultaneously being able to keep up with, and sometimes even gain the upper hand against, the extremely skilled and experienced martial artists Clint Barton and Maya Lopez, though Barton was more focused on protecting Bishop than engaging Yelena. Belova is also very physically strong and resilient, as she could flip her sister into a wall with one leg and lift Kate Bishop over her head and throw her off a building. Belova also has very good reflexes, being able to catch a bottle of hot sauce that Bishop threw at her head.
•Knife Mastery:
As a Black Widow, Belova is highly skilled at using a knife in combat, being able to use it to quickly kill a former Widow and later use it in her fight against Romanoff. Belova was also able to quickly throw a two-inch blade into a Red Room surgeon's back with great accuracy while making her escape.
•Staff Mastery: As a Black Widow, Belova is highly skilled at using a staff in combat.
Weapons
•Black Widow's Batons: Belova briefly utilized Black Widow's Batons during the Destruction of the Red Room. Belova combined the batons into a staff and then plunged into the propeller of General Dreykov's helicopter, breaking the propeller and causing the helicopter to explode, killing Dreykov and his remaining soldiers. She later used her own when fighting against Hawkeye. •Black Widow's Bite: Belova utilized her Black Widow's Bite to engage Echo and Hawkeye. Belova used it to immobilize them stunning them both so she would have an advantage, as she was taking on both Lopez and Barton as well as Kate Bishop. •Combat Knife: Yelena used a combat knife to kill a rouge Widow. She later used a karambit style knife to escape and kill the Red Room attendants. •Throwing Knives: Yelena carries serval throwing knives on her left thigh. •Glock 26: Belova's preferred weapon is a subcompact pistol. She aimed it at her sister when they reunited after 21 years, but Romanoff swiftly disarmed her. She continued to use her pistol during her campaign to liberate other Black Widows, notably bringing it to Ana's house, and attempted to shoot Hawkeye with the pistol. •Heckler & Koch P30: Belova disarmed her sister of her pistol when they reunited after 21 years. •Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum: Belova used a sniper rifle on an assignment in Morocco. •Heckler & Koch XM25: Belova used a grenade launcher when she and her sister rescued their father from prison.
Other Equipment
•Uniform: As a Black Widow, Belova wore a standard issue black catsuit with protective padding on her shoulders, elbows and knees, belts, two weapon holsters, and tall, heeled boots. •Vest: Belova bought a vest shortly after getting released from the Red Room's mental conditioning, primarily attracted to its many pockets and making a few modifications of her own. While she was not wearing it in her reunion with Romanoff, Belova put it on after they escaped Budapest. Given she lent it to Romanoff after taking down the Red Room Academy, she would replace it with another bulletproof vest. •Winter Uniform: Rick Mason provided Belova and Romanoff with white suits that would fit and blend with the snow environment of their upcoming mission in a prison. The costume had shoulder, knee, and elbow pads, as well as a holster on the back for equipment, and a belt with two thigh holsters. It became her primary costume afterwards, with Belova seen wearing it in Ana's house two years later. •Tactical Uniform: In 2024, Belova wore a black tactical suit, complete with full-head mask. It featured a jacket with shoulder pads, and built-in wrist tasers. •Night Vision Goggles: Belova wore night vision goggles atop her mask while attacking Clint Barton, before he overpowered her and took out her disguise.
