Just a quick spoilers warning for those who are unfamiliar with the comics. It’s about to get geeky here. I have suspected since the end of Captain America: The First […]

If you don’t know much about her, here’s a quick bio: Born in Stalingrad, Natasha was trained by Russian Intelligence operatives and became a sleeper agent for the Black Widow Program (one of her instructors was […]
MoreThis vid by fiveyearmission has everything I love in a Marvel fanvid: Tony Stark, a killer soundtrack, and some feels. Enjoy, dear Collectors. This is one of my favs. 🙂 Sidenote: I could stare at RDJ all day every day. -The Collectress
