Name: Omega Red

 

Real name: Arkady Rossovich

 

Powers: Arkady can emit “death spores” which must be released on victims or they will attack his own body. Basically he has to drain other people’s life force to stay alive. He can conduct these spores through his retractable carbonadium (a malleable form of adimantium) coils, which he uses to ensnare his victims. The coils are not mutant powers, they were given to him by the Soviet Intelligence Agency. He also has enhanced stamina, super-human strength, and super speed.

 

Height: About 6.10 to 6.12.

 

Weight: Around 450 lbs. if not more.

 

Nationality: Russian.

 

Family: None have ever been revealed.

 

First appearance: X-Men #4.

 

 

Omega Red was a homicidal killer before he got involved with the SIA in Russia. Generation X’s leader Banshee used to be an agent for “Interpol” and was tracking Arkady for numerous murders about 25 years ago (1970’s). During their “final” confrontation, Arkady killed a female inspector companion of Banshee’s, so he shot at him like mad, but wasn’t able to kill him. Banshee then turned him over to the authorities, but that’s when the SIA located and got their hands on Arkady and made some “improvements” to his body and create Omega Red.

 

The SIA gave Red his coils, trademark red armor, and genetic mutation/manipulation. Arkady was to be Russia’s super soldier, but before he could do his damage, a secret task force assembled of Wolverine, Maverick, and Sabertooth was sent to steal the Carbonadium synthesizer from the SIA. The Carbonadium synthesizer was a device that could stop Red’s death spores from attacking himself, thus making him the perfect living weapon. Without the synthesizer, the SIA realized that Red would be pretty much useless, so they froze him.

 

During the early 1990’s, enemies of Wolverine (Matsu’O and the Hand) recovered and revived Omega Red to use as their weapon. His first objective was to locate Wolverine and learn of the location of the Carbonadium synthesizer. But Wolverine has no memory of the past and apparently doesn’t even remember Omega Red at all. Soon with the help of Maverick and the X-men, Omega Red was defeated.
