I just saw Black Widow. Yelena and Natasha say they don’t have any ovaries because the Red Room surgically removed them. That means no estrogen. But those women have definitely been through puberty. If you don’t have any estrogen or testosterone, your bones get weak like a child’s bones. That’s no good for being a super assassin. And I don’t think the Black Widow is on testosterone injections. She’s not hairy enough for it. So is she taking estradiol pills?

    Black Widows are not given a super soldier serum.

    Edit: I’m way behind on comic storylines

            MCU Hulk was created when Banner was tasked with recreating the super soldier serum. I’ll give them credit for NOT running with “everyone gets super soldier serum”.

            Yeah, black cat was created in an attempt to recreate captain America’s formula and everything was destroyed again. At least that’s how I remember.

          Kinda sorta, they had the Russian version that wasn’t as good. No one ever repeated the kind of success Cap saw, (that I know of)

      I thought she had a modified version. Though that could have been something from the comics.

        I think you’re right because I’m way behind on the comic stories and you’re not the only one who thinks so.
