She's not meant to be an in your face, heavy hitter. In the Marvel Universe, she is one of, if not the most deadly espionage agents on the planet. She's the recon/intelligence member of the team.

Also, there was an interview with Whedon a while back, where he said that a big part of the movie is how these characters get along and come to trust one another. A part of that story is how Widow and Hawkeye are soldiers put in a position out of their comfort zone, where they have to work with these heroes who basically just walked into a position that they themselves strived there whole life to achieve.

It adds an interesting dynamic that I'd much rather see, than just adding another powered female, simply for the sake of flash and style.
