History:
Dimitri Bukharin is the fifth man to don the armor of the Crimson Dynamo. The first Crimson Dynamo was Soviet inventor Anton Vanko, who designed the original electrically-powered armor for the Soviet government. Assigned to go to America and assassinate Iron Man, Vanko was defeated and agreed to betray his superiors. The Soviet government then sent two agents, Natasha Romanova and Boris Turgenov, to assassinate Vanko and complete his original mission. Turgenov stole the Crimson Dynamo armor from Vanko and tried to discredit him in the eyes of his American friends. Vanko sacrificed himself to stop Turgenov, killing them both in the process.
Some time later, Alex Nevsky, Vanko’s research assistant, defected from Russia under suspicion of being a traitor and found employment in America as head scientist at Cord Industries. There, he used the facilities to redesign and recreate the Crimson Dynamo armor. Devising an even more formidable suit of armor than his predecessor, Nevsky attacked Iron Man in an attempt to get revenge for what happened to Vanko and himself. Though joined by the Titanium Man, Nevsky was defeated and fled to Saigon, where he, the Titanium Man, the Slasher, and the Radioactive Man operated as politically sanctioned heroes. Eventually, the Soviets located Nevsky, assassinated him, and confiscated the Crimson Dynamo armor.
It was next given to Yuri Petrovich, son of the defector Ivan Petrovich, long-time partner of Natasha Romanova. Petrovich was assigned to capture his father and Romanova and return them to Russia. Despite the help of Darkstar, the Titanium Man, and the Griffin, Petrovich failed and returned to Russia alone. He was directed to surrender the Dynamo armor and was sent to a work camp in Siberia. The Soviet government then gave the armor to former KGB agent Dimitri Bukharin and directed him to join the newly-formed team of mutant super-agents, the Soviet Super-Soldiers, composed of Darkstar, Vanguard, and Ursa Major in order to spy on them. When the three realized that he was a spy, they expelled him from the group.
Bukharin now wears the armor of the Crimson Dynamo as a solo operative of the Soviet government. He has recently acquired a totally revamped set of armor.
