Omega Red Reviews

It depends on who you ask, but Omega Red, aka Arkady Rossovich, was just your average Russian soldier/serial killer/child rapist. One story says he was captured by Interpol agent and X-Man Banshee. Another tells that his fellow soldiers executed him for his child-related transgressions and he somehow survived. Either way, the KGB gets Rossovich and tries to make a super soldier out of him. Think Captain America but the opposite.

Scientists had the bright idea of giving Rossovich retractable carbonadium (a more malleable form of adamantium) tentacles instead of his less useful arms. Although quite practical for killing and probably not shaking hands, the carbonadium ended up being poisonous and he had to drain the life out of people just to survive. Besides that great quality which surely makes making new friends a breeze, Omega Red's body can also produce pheromones called Death Spores, which kill normal humans in seconds. He has superhuman everything normal that you have like strength and speed and reflexes and etc. and his body tissue is also harder than yours.

One flaw of Omega Red's is the need for the Carbonadium Synthesizer, which stabilizes his weakness for the alloy. Wolverine, with the help of Sabretooth and Maverick once stole this device, just to make his life a little harder.

Due to Omega Red's unpredictability, the Soviet government (who made him) once froze him in cryogenic animation. He's worked alongside The Hand, Neocommunists, Russian gangster Ivan Pushkin, drug lords like the General and has been the head of the Red Mafia posing as a businessman. He is still looking for the Carbonadium Synthesizer. So if you know of its whereabouts, please contact him. He'll probably kill instead of provide a ransom, though.
