Modern Incarnation
In The Twelve, Claire Voyant is retconned as becoming the Black Widow in 1928 when she vows revenge, at her sister's grave, against the killer.
Revived in the present day, along with 11 other heroes, after being in suspended animation since World War II, she recommences serving as an "instrument of vengeance" for an unknown agency (not identified in this storyline as Satan) and going on missions for that party.
In a minor costume redesign, the major color of her costume is changed from green to purple, and the flame trim on the top of her boots is done away with.

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or incarnation:
“The secret of genius is to suffer no fiction to exist for us; to realize all that we know; in the high refinement of modern life, in arts, in sciences, in books, in men, to exact good faith, reality, and a purpose; and first, last, midst, and without end, to honor every truth by use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Service ... is love in action, love “made flesh”; service is the body, the incarnation of love. Love is the impetus, service the act, and creativity the result with many by-products.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 3 (1962)
