Wrong.

Some superior characters, Rocket Red, there's Colossus and Magik, there's KGBeast and NKVDemon, that lady who turns into a bear, Baba Yaga kinda, that big fuck from Punisher....

Isn't Rocket Red a brigade?

They are but only Rocket Red 7 is relevant.

You're just jealous because your Russian didn't have hashtag and flash mob.

When?

>>87812297
Idk. Last year?

>>87812317
For Black Widow?

>>87812324
Yes, but she don't sell toys.

Colossus and Red Star can sell toys for boys.

>>87812324
Yeah. It was
>show Marvel that you, yes YOU, want Black Widow solo movie!
It failed utterly.

>>87812337
Would a Black Widow and Hawkeye movie work?

Mandatory Winter Guard mention.
Russian team in Marvel is famous for fuckload of people wearing one title.
>>87812375
True. I like him, though. Probably because his origin is pulpy as fuck. Greatest hunter alive drinks magic potion to be able to punch dinosaurs?

>>87812368
I feel like with all the shenanigans the Kravinoff family have been up to, Chameleon must have been retconned because he never shows up.

Delinquent Duo, NKVDemon and KGBeast. They appeared in Aquaman and the Others, as anarchist mercs. Team was led by Cheshire, iirc. KGBeast is Beast now, obsessed with 666. Thanks, Snyder.
>>87812388
Or he knows what Kraven and Anna did to his nephews so he avoids them.

>>87812403
I dunno, during Grim Hunt he was part of the group that the Kravinoffs hired to fuck with Spidey during Kraven's resurrection.
Pretty sure he's the one that actually points out that rezzing Kraven may have been a stupid idea, considering that the guy killed himself.

He wanted to bail moment Kraven went nuts, right?

>>87812446
Yeah. If he was related, you think they would've mentioned it though.

She was someone Kyle recruited way back in the late 90s during a forgotten arc about rebuilding the Corps, I think.

Probably because of that. I can't remember any Russian enemy of Cap, though.

>>87812585
Cold War era man. Literally all of Iron Man's villains are communists. They still lean on them pretty hard, whenever they need an "ancient, forgotten black ops project" they use Russia.

Man, poor Perun.
They really fucked him over in pretty much every appearance. Like, he literally gets to do nothing in Ultimates 2, he becomes a good guy in Ultimate Avengers, it sets him up to be a hero, then he just gets fucked.
Kinda sad.

>>87812613
My biggest disappointment of the Iron Man movies is never seeing Titanium Man and Crinsom Dynamo

>>87812656
Yeah, with the success of Winter Soldier I'm sure some cold war paranoia villains would've been used, if they had still been making Iron Man movies by then.

That is not even remotely true. It wasn't even true in 1963.

>>87812714
I'll admit, I was exaggerating.

There are no single good russian hero in current comic universes. They're all C-listers at best.

Huh, he's Red Star. Go figure. I had no idea what's his name, only codename. That's what I get for not touching Teen Titans comic in my life.
Dunno is it set in past or present, though.

>>87812656

Anton Vanko was the original Crimson Dynamo. "Whiplash" was the Crimson Dynamo in every way but the name - and the pasted-on whiplash weapons. If only they had him look at his finished armor, and then grin and grab a spray paint can. "Nice paint job, no? Hot rod red. Doesn't show blood."

And the Iron Monger was an amalgam of all Iron Man's big armored opponents, although there was more of Firepower in there than Titanium Man.

Oh, but a real Titanium Man could be fun...
"A Commie? I didn't know they still made your kind."
"As long as your kind exists, Stark."

I'm being cheeky now.

>>87812718
Yeah, pretty much. Most A-Listers, when you get down to it, are either Americans or aliens that live in American. That's just kind of how it is. I mean, most of the Russian characters that aren't villains tend to stick to Russia.
I'd love a story about a square-jawed Russian hero working in New York City though.

I wonder what his last name is, because 'Sytsevich' sounds a lot like a patronym.

>>87812767
People love Super-Man stories. But sales goes lower and lower desu.

>>87812550
It still kinda bothers me that they brought back Omega Red as a younger clone, essentially, and he mostly fell into limbo once those X-Force stories were finished. I'm not a huge fan of Omega Red, it's just the cheapness of that approach which gets me.

>>87812861
Exactly. That's why foreigners won't sell. Look at New Super-Man. Pity we can't clone Morrison and Johns, they can sell everything.
>>87812891
It could be worse. Just to kill off Omega Black and everything will be status quo.

I'll always remember reading Infinite Crisis with basically 0 context around anything that wasn't Superman or batman, and this fucking guy had one of the coolest moments in it

Never recruited by the Corps though. Just by Kyle in another one of his failures.

Hardly. Colossus is one of the best tho.
