History

Epsilon Red was a Red Room psychic operative whose purpose consisted of maintaining a telepathic bond with all the Black Widows without their knowledge in order to back up their memories inside his own mind. If one of the Black Widows died, the Red Room could transfer their memories into a clone body through Epsilon Red.

When the Red Room resurrected Natasha Romanoff following her death, Ursa Major was appalled they would only give her a select few of her memories to make her loyal to the Red Room, effectively depriving her of her memories as a hero. He managed to convince Epsilon Red to break protocol in exchange for letting him pet his fur, resulting in Natasha being secretly given all of her memories. After finding out about the Red Room's body-cloning program, Natasha manipulated Epsilon Red and made him erase the memories of three clones of Yelena Belova she later used as part of her plan to take down the Red Room.

Once Natasha openly turned against the Red Room and attacked their base from within, she killed all clone bodies save for one of Yelena Belova and another of Orphan Maker. Epsilon Red transplanted the memories of the originals to the cloned bodies. Natasha then shot Epsilon Red in the head so he could find freedom in death, for which he thanked her before she pulled the trigger.
