The original Crimson Dynamo
The first Crimson Dynamo was also the creator of the armor: Professor Anton Vanko. A Soviet scientist of Armenian birth with a Ph. D, Vanko was the world's foremost expert on electricity. He built a suit that was wired up to perform electric miracles, making him a human dynamo. The Crimson Dynamo battle-suit allowed him to control electricity in all of its forms, allowing him to fire devastating bolts of electricity. It also allowed him to fly.
Vanko was a vain and cocky man, but he redeemed himself in the end. In their first encounter, the Crimson Dynamo battled Iron Man. Iron Man is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [1] After being tricked by Iron Man (who made him believe that his Soviet handlers were going to kill him though earlier Vanko's superior implied he was going to kill Vanko, anyway), Vanko defected to the U. S. and went to work for Tony Stark as one of his chief scientists. Soon the Soviets came to kill him for real. They sent their top agent, the Black Widow, and her one-time partner, Boris Turgenev, the latter of whom stole the armor and became the second Crimson Dynamo. Black Widow, in comics may refer to Black Widow (Marvel Comics, a Marvel Comics character Black Widow (Timely Comics, a character from Vanko died saving Iron Man by firing an unstable experimental laser light pistol at Boris, killing himself as well. [2]
Vanko's heroic sacrifice was re-visited in the mini series Enter the Mandarin where it's revealed that the Mandarin's son, Temugin was witness to Vanko and Turgenev's death.
Quote: "You'll be . . . uh . . . SHOCKED at my powers. "
The second Crimson Dynamo
Boris Turgenev, the second Crimson Dynamo, had a very short career in the super villain game. In his first and only appearance[3], Turgenev came to the United States with his one-time partner, the Black Widow, to kill Anton Vanko, Tony Stark, and Iron Man. Black Widow, in comics may refer to Black Widow (Marvel Comics, a Marvel Comics character Black Widow (Timely Comics, a character from Stealing the suit, he almost carried out his mission, virtually defeating Iron Man. But he was killed by Vanko, who, sacrificing his own life for the cause of freedom, fired an experimental and unstable new laser pistol, killing Boris.
Quote: "Boris does not walk around obstacles—it is easier to hurl them aside. "
The third Crimson Dynamo
Although often mistakenly referred to as the second Crimson Dynamo, Alex Nevsky (also known as Alex Niven) was actually the third man to go by the Crimson Dynamo name. Introduced as the American Alex Niven, he was Cord Industries' hot new scientist, but he was scheming from the start, aiming to take down Tony Stark. [4]
But his story actually began behind the Iron Curtain. The protégé of Professor Anton Vanko, he admired and respected the brilliant scientist, who created the Crimson Dynamo battle-suit. After Vanko defected to the West, all who knew the traitorous genius were tainted under suspicion of disloyalty. Nevsky's promising career was ruined and he fled. In exile, Nevsky learned to hate the government that he had once loved, the government that turned on him so quickly without proof. He also sought vengeance against the man who toppled his mentor: Iron Man. He also wanted to destroy Stark, because the capitalist had exploited Vanko.
His plan was fairly simple: As Alex Niven he would go to work for Cord Industries, using his brilliance to help the struggling company beat out Stark Industries in the marketplace. He would then go after Iron Man, besting him with a new and improved Crimson Dynamo armor. (He actually fought two different men inside the IM armor: Eddie March and Tony Stark. ) He also worked against Stark by romancing Janice Cord, with whom he later fell in love for real.
After he donned the Crimson Dynamo armor in public,[5] his old Soviet masters sent the Titanium Man to kill him. The Titanium Man (" Chelovek-Titan " is the name of two or more Fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe. When the Titanium Man killed Janice, Niven blamed Iron Man for the tragedy and swore to avenge her. [6] Although he held Titanium Man just as responsible for Janice's death, Niven was forced by circumstance to partner with him and Radioactive Man in Vietnam, where all three Communist-aligned fugitives formed the Titanic Three. The Titanium Man (" Chelovek-Titan " is the name of two or more Fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe. The Radioactive Man ( Chen Lu) is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. In the Marvel Comics universe, the Titanic Three was a short-lived team of Supervillains consisting of Titanium Man, Radioactive Man [7] Nevsky also defected to Vietnam and lived in Saigon. Nevsky made an unsuccessful attempt to kill Iron Man[8]. Fleeing the battle, Nevsky disappeared soon thereafter. He was assassinated by the KGB, who confiscated his armor for their own purposes. KGB ( Transliteration of "КГБ" is the Russian abbreviation of Committee for State Security ( Komityet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosty [9]
Quote: "My costume may be new to you but my name is not. "
The fourth Crimson Dynamo
Yuri Petrovich, the fourth Crimson Dynamo, was the son of the Black Widow's partner Ivan Petrovich. When Western agents (presumably Americans) failed to convince Ivan to defect to the West, they assassinated Yuri's mother; in the chaos that followed, Ivan and Yuri each believed the other dead. Yuri was brought to the West, where Soviet agents, posing as Westerners, indoctrinated him to hate the West. When the Black Widow and Ivan defected to the United States, Yuri was "rescued" by the Soviets, returned to Russia, and trained as a KGB assassin. He was given the Crimson Dynamo armor and sent to kill the Widow and Ivan. Yuri and his allies (his girlfriend Darkstar, the Griffin, Rampage, and the original Titanium Man) fought the Widow and her teammates, the Champions. For the DC Comics characters see Darkstars. Darkstar ( Laynia Petrovna) is a Fictional character, a mutant Griffin ( Johnny Horton) is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics supervillain The Titanium Man (" Chelovek-Titan " is the name of two or more Fictional characters in the Marvel Comics universe.

Darkstar teamed with the Champions in order to subdue Yuri, and after he and his other allies were defeated, he was returned to Russia, convicted by the Soviet government, and exiled to a Siberian labor camp.
