    Character » Black Widow appears in 3722 issues.

    A former KGB agent, Natasha Alianovna Romanova, better known as Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow, was trained by the top-secret Soviet brainwashing and training program, the Red Room, to become the ultimate "Super-Spy".

    I went to her wiki page and it stated she is as strong as a female can be. I want exact numbers though like how much can she lift and how fast can she run.

    She's a physical match for Captain America. A Russian Super-Soldier.

    She is so fast she can flip a light switch in any room, no matter how large, before you even have time to say "A cuckoo cookie cook called Cooper could cook cuckoo cookies" 
     
    She is so strong not only can she pop tops off pickle jars, but she can bend them in half without them breaking.

    @Vance Astro: but her comic vine page says "Natasha has taken a different version of the Super-Soldier Serum. This gave her physical abilities much like Captain America, though not as great as his. She possesses peak-level physiology, making her as strong, agile, fast, and durable as a female human can possibly be without being classified as superhuman." The serum she took didn't make her as strong as him but she is still very powerful. Is she really as strong as captain america???

    To be honest I probably shouldn't have used Cap as a measuring stick as I don't really understand whether Marvel has always meant for him to be peak human or if he is superhuman. Some sources seem to have it confused as to what level he's actually on. It was always my understanding though that he was peak human and thus Black Widow being peak human also makes her a physical match for him. I'm sure she's not able to duplicate his feats exactly but their is probably a slim margin between their physical levels.

    She received her own Russian variant of the Super Soldier serum. Therefore it amplified her physical characteristics. She isn't immensely physically strong per se (I'm talking pure weight-lifting strength), but she definitely has refined muscular structure that allows her to move very agile. After all, she was trained not to go into direct confrontations, but strike from the shadows.

    I think she's strong enough to throw furniture with ease.She probably can't throw a car up in the air.

    I think she is probably strong enough to throw a horse at Captain America while he is in the shower. The horse would probably die though, unless the shower is one of those big walk in ones.
