Hired as an assassin for the Russian government, Iron Maiden fought Black Widow until S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived and put an end to the battle. She then joined the Femizons and became one of Superia's lieutenants.
She was eventually apprehended and coerced into joining the Thunderbolts during Civil War.[1]
The Iron Maiden is a master assassin, horticulturalist and spy. She wears a lightweight but strong metal suit that protects her from impacts, bullets and energy weapons. It appears to function as a form of exoskeleton, enhancing her strength to an unknown degree.
Iron Maiden was a considered name for Black Widow when she was given a black suit similar to Iron Man.
Iron Maiden is the superhero name of Tony Stark's sister Toni Stark.
A character with the same name plays a major role in the Earth X trilogy. She was a new character to this universe, without a known Earth-616 counterpart. A former employee of Reed Richards, she became encased in vibranium and was able to manipulate this armor into weapons. She was a servant of the Red Skull before his death, and was later revealed to have the ability to manipulate all of the Earth's vibranium.
