History:
(Daredevil I#237 (fb) - BTS) - Wife of Florida Senator Randy Whalen, Barbara Whalen loved being the wife of a powerful man, using her own influence as she could. She became acquainted with Black Widow during a winter in Miami once. Barbara sought to sponsor a new government program requiring mandatory drug testing of athletes. Whalen realized that super heroes backing the program could be the best publicity. She contacted the Black Widow, who seemed enthusiastic about the project, and Black Widow sought to recruit Daredevil. Randy thought the super hero endorsement was crucial.
(Daredevil I#237) - Daredevil, who had just finished battling thug Jerzo, turned down Black Widow's offer, saying it was un-American. Black Widow called Barbara, wanting to go ahead with only her endorsement, but Barbara stated that having a man at Black Widow's side was crucial, stating that in public opinion men and women needed to work together. Barbara encouraged Black Widow to look into other interests, and Barbara promised she would do the same.
