At this point Marvel really doesn't have to do anything to promote The Avengers ahead of its release next month. They have had us from day one, but why look a gift horse in the mouth?

Today's gift comes in the very shapely form of Scarlett Johansson's Black Widow character. You know, I was always curious what Black Widow brought to the table other than to round out the group and not make it such the proverbial boys' club.

Well, now I know.

For those of you, like me, who are able to look past certain bouncing assets you will see that Black Widow is a fiercely determined fighting machine that is capable of taking out three people while tied up in a chair. Or so they tell me.

For the rest of us, it's a nice 40 second clip of ScarJo tied up wearing an unnecessarily skimpy outfit that resembles lingerie more than an actual uniform. Yep, my job is tough.

The Avengers assemble in theaters on May 4.
