Synopsis for "The Black Widow Strikes Again!"Edit

When news that Stark Industries have completed an anti-gravity device the Black Widow hopes to steal it. Believing that she can do the job herself, the Black Widow makes an appointment to see Tony Stark. When Stark shows her the device she uses a gas to knock Stark out and steal the device.

The Black Widow then uses the device to sabotage missile bases, Stark tries to duplicate the device to no success amid negative press about Stark's loyalty to his country. Stark decides to go after the Widow as Iron Man, helping the army try to stop her from using the device to damage anymore missile bases. When the Widow tries to crush all her opponents with a mountain, Iron Man is forced to use a device to destroy the inner circuits of the gravity device.

Saving the Black Widow's cohorts from the falling mountain, the Widow herself gets away however.
