You live in a world where there are NO heroes, only villains (all high herald and below). Suffering and chaos has become the norm. You really wish you could have some superpowers to even things out.
Luckily, Bat-Mite is bored and decides to play a game with you. He is going to let you face a number of characters, and if you win, you will get a reward each time, if you lose, well, you die.
He starts you off with peak human stats, and a few combat knives and a gun. You have NO skills.
Round 1
Black Widow. This is not a "fight". She is going about her normal life, and is unaware you are wanting to kill her. You know her whereabouts - hunt her down and take her out.
You have 7 days (prep included) to do it.
Reward: Batman's Stealth Skills, Superman's Night Vision, $500 Million.
Round 2
You've located Harley Quinn's hide out - an abandoned warehouse. You know the only people staying there are Harley and a few of her goons. You must sneak in and plant a listening device under her bed.
Reward: 33% of Wolverine's healing factor, Superman's X-ray Vision, Daredevil's Sonar Sense, 1 use 10-second invisibility (each day).
Round 3
You have planted the bug at Harley's place and find out there is a major villain meeting. It takes place in the sewers many levels underground. In attendance will be The Joker, Killer Croc, Penguin, Two Face and some thugs. While they are having a meeting you must sneak in within 5 meters of them, shout "I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT, I AM BATMAN", and then make your get away. You are safe once out of the sewers.
Reward: Batman's skills, knowledge and intelligence, Spiderman's speed and reflexes.
Round 4
You are locked in large dining hall with Victor Creed. He is trying to kill you. Survive for 5 minutes.
Reward: Full Wolverine Healing Factor, Superman's courage and confidence, Spider-man stats, Captain America's Shield.
Round 5
There is a hit contract on you. People who will come after you: Lady Shiva, Deadpool, Hawkeye, and Bullseye. You must survive for 24 hours.

- Hulk Durability
- Nightcrawler's Teleportation
- All of Martian Manhunter's stats/abilities.
- Black Bolt's stats/abilities
- Wonder Woman's stats/abilities
- Adamantium Skeleton + Claws

- Captain Marvel Stats x 100
- Lobo, Hulk and Doomsday's Regen Abilities Combined

...........................
The game is all about risk and reward, you can stop at any round you like, if you think the odds are too great to overcome.
You get to keep your rewards (including previously earned ones) even if you quit.
All rewards stack even skills.
Remember, if you lose, you die. In a real life scenario, when would you call it quits?
I don't think anyone would make it past 1 to be honest.
Black Widow is a trained killer, agent, assassin in pure comic booky fashion. The first time any of us tried to do any intel work on her she would know and kick our butts. Since you said this is a world of villains and no heroes I'm assuming Black Widow is the merciless killer version of herself in which case she kills everyone of us.
Wish I could say I get past 1 but I'm not going to lie to myself, peak human and a couple of weapons give me nothing to beat her and the 'prep' time I can't do much with as Newjack said. Any attempt at doing anything meaningful with that time would result in alerting her to my presence.
Unless I can hire goons in a world of villains to go in and set fire to her home and then catch her by surprise but even that is a crap plan with dealing with the black widow even if it's the blonde one.
You already have basic intel on her, where she goes every day, her routine etc.
While it is the same version of her, it is in a more realistic setting. I doubt she is aware of every single person around her, and has some magic senses that warn her.
But again, its everyone's choice. I would attempt it.
If I skip 1 or attack her on the toilet I'll clear. Creed can be kept at bay and given a good thrashing with batman skill & intelligence +supermans speed & reflexes + peak human strength. Nevermind all that sensory power so he can't play peak a boo.
Make it to 6 I'll tear abomination apart and black Adam will be difficult but magnetos ability + colossus strength +hulk healing factor and batmans intellect gives me a good shot.
With the rewarded powers ontop of the previous rounds I'll clear.
So in comic books named people like Black Widow with Spy Training almost do have a magic warning system for everyone around them.
I'm being realistic here. If we allow the Black Widow's feats no one on this board would have the skills or resources to get the drop on her even with one-sided prep.
Now I do agree with SevenShackles in that once you get past one you could make it pretty far and have a chance to clear.
But no one this board has the skills to match the BW no matter how much grand standing they want to do or say.
I think I could clear it, actually. Black Widow has no idea who I am and no reason whatsoever to suspect I want to kill her. I'm just some random civilian as far as she knows. I could just shoot her in the back of the head while she sips her Starbucks or grocery shops since she's going about her normal life. Once you get past #4 it becomes a downhill jog if you're smart.
I've been trying to think of some way to overcome 1 but all the choices aren't in my favor lol. Like since it's a villian world I doubt she would care if I stabbed myself in an alley then stumbled out and collapsed in front of her xD.
Round 5 is easily my favorite though, I use the money I got from the first match to buy explosives just in case and each assassin that gets too close (or with Spiderman stats I could probably hold them at least for maybe a second which would be long enough) then I could just detonate myself, with Wolverine regen I could just rinse and repeat probably x3. Except for Deadpool >_>...but with caps sheild and spideys stats I feel it would be possible to play keep away long enough to pass.
does black widow command an organization or is she flying solo? does she keep guards around her? if she's all by herself and has a routine that involves walking in public areas, shooting her in the back of the head wouldn't be a hassle in world without pis.
I'd use a sniper rifle for round 1, I'm a decent shot, so it's got the best chance for success.
