MCU skipped Captain America and Black Widow's dark origin.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Captain America and Black Widow are fellow Avengers and life-long friends in both the comics and the MCU, though their relationship is a bit closer in the movies than how the comics usually portray them. Despite that, Rogers and Romanoff actually have a much more complicated history in the comics than they do in the MCU, as the films skipped the darkest part of their friendship.
In the MCU, Natasha Romanoff was one of the first people to connect with Steve Rogers when he woke up in the present day after being frozen for decades. They fought together with the Avengers during Loki’s attack on the planet, they went on SHIELD missions together as was shown in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and they even trusted each other enough to go off-the-grid together, teased at the end of Captain America: Civil War and confirmed in Avengers: Infinity War.
Captain America Nearly Saved Black Widow As A Child, But Failed In Uncanny X-Men #268 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, readers are shown an absolutely outstanding Wolverine/Captain America team-up that takes place both in the present day and in the past, and within each time period, they’re facing the villainous ninja clan the Hand.
Captain America saved Natasha as a little girl from becoming a trained assassin, which is a touching backstory to their established origin. But, wait, if he did that, then how did Natasha Romanoff become a trained assassin? Well, in Wolverine: Origins #16 by Daniel Way and Steve Dillon, it’s revealed that Natasha was only at the Nazi-run Hand compound to carry out an assassination on behalf of her real masters, those behind the Red Room aka the Black Widow Ops Program.
Captain America is someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, and who has a very clear and unwavering moral compass. It’s for that reason that he risked his life to save a little girl he didn’t know, while on a mission of international importance. While the act was brave and heroic, it didn’t make much of a difference to Natasha, as Captain America left her to the exact fate he thought he saved her from, and she became a child assassin regardless.
