The Black Widow uses a variety of equipment invented by Soviet scientists and technicians, with later improvements by S. H. I. E. L. D.

scientists and technicians.

She usually wears distinctively shaped bracelets which fire the Widow's Bite electro-static energy blasts that can deliver charges up to 30, 000 volts, as well as " Widow's Line " grappling hooks, tear gas pellets, along with a new element introduced during her ongoing series during the " Kiss or Kill " arc called the " Widow's Kiss "; an aerosol instant knock-out gas she has modified.

She wears a belt of metallic discs, some with disc-charges containing plastic explosives, others have been shown to be compartments to house other equipment.

Her costume consists of synthetic stretch fabric equipped with micro-suction cups on fingers and feet, enabling her to adhere to walls and ceilings.

In the 2006 " Homecoming " mini-series, she was seen using knives, unarmed combat, and various firearms, but she has since begun using her bracelets again.

While in disguise as Yelena Bolova when infiltrating the then Osborn-sanctioned Thunderbolts during " Dark Reign " she used a specialed multi-lense goggle / head-carapace that demonstrated various technical abilities enhancing vision and communication.

Later, she has used a modified gun based on her Widow's Bite wrist cartridge, during her adventures alongside the new Captain America.
