First appearing in Marvel Comics in the 1960s, Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow, was introduced to movie audiences in Iron Man 2 (2010). Her character has grown in popularity with subsequent Marvel films, and fans have been vocal about wanting to see Black Widow in a titular role. Romanoff has potent appeal: a strong female character who is not defined by her looks or her romantic relationships, with the skill set of a veteran spy first for the KGB, then for S.H.I.E.L.D. This collection of new essays is the first to examine Black Widow and her development, from Cold War era comics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A multi-author exploration of contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, through the lens of the superhero genre. In the past decade, heroes and villains spawned from the pages of comic books have upended popular culture and revolutionized the entertainment industry. The narratives weave together a multitude of complementary and sometimes competing storylines, spun across decades, generations, and mediums, forming a complex tapestry that simultaneously captures the imagination and captivates the mind. These stories reveal our own vulnerabilities while casting an ideal to which we aspire. They pull at our deepest emotions and push us to the cusp of reality, and bring us back to Earth with a renewed hope of a better tomorrow. They are an endless source of powerful metaphors to help us learn and develop, then be the best versions of ourselves possible. Through the lens of the superhero genre, each chapter explores contemporary challenges in leadership, team building, and conflict, while emphasizing the role of humanity and human nature in our own world.

After the events of the last book, eighteen-year-old Ashley 'Crafter' Jason begins attending the International Superbian Institute for Superhuman Training to complete her third year of schooling. Although the culture shock of visiting a country populated almost entirely by supers is tough, Ashley finds solace in her friend, Barrett Marcus, causing their relationship to deepen in pleasant ways Ashley did not expect. But life isn't all romance and boys. The kind yet charming President Franklin 'Dragon King' Marcus of Superbia expresses an interest in helping Ashley, although his true intentions for her and the world are far from benevolent. Meanwhile, a rebellion against the ruling super class of Superbia is brewing among the country's oppressed normals, who have hatched a plot to assassinate President Marcus and need Ashley's help to pull it off. All Ashley wants to do is complete her third year of schooling and go home. But when President Marcus offers her the cure for her incurable genetic disease, can she possibly say no? Or will she join the burgeoning revolution against his rule and find herself in his crosshairs?
