Mark Waid's recent run on Black Widow was excellent and there's some cool ideas in "Deadly Origin". Plus, a character like Black Widow could go on an adventure that is totally independent of the Avengers and you could drop it in anywhere in the continuity of the MCU. It could be a more personal story or she could stop a secret plot that endangeres the world but most people have no idea. The spy/espionage angle of Winter Soldier was one of the things people liked about that movie and it's still regarded as one of the better MCU movies.

Wait, if we agree about Mystique's popularity, why are we arguing? Also that Shortpack guy sounds.... Interesting... Haha
