Elizabeth "Betty" Ross (later Talbot and then Banner) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #1 (1962) as a romantic interest of the Hulk (Dr. Bruce Banner).

Over the long publication history of the Hulk's adventures, many recurring characters have featured prominently, including his best friend and sidekick Rick Jones, love interest and wife Betty Ross and her father, the often adversarial General "Thunderbolt" Ross.
However, Betty is a much more prominent character in the comics as she holds the position of Bruce's one true love. Just like the MCU did with Natasha Romanoff, Betty was able to calm the Hulk down when he got angry and was able to get to him when nobody else managed it.
Black Widow's first romantic relationship was with Nikolai, a soldier she met while both were serving with the Russian Army during WWII. The young soldier had no backstory, but Natasha and Nikolai fell in love and eventually married.
