Template:Short description Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".Script error: No such module "Check for conflicting parameters". Omega Red (Arkady Gregorivich Rossovich) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the X-Men. In 2009, Omega Red was ranked as IGN's 95th-greatest comic book villain of all time.[1]

The character made his live-action debut through a cameo appearance in Deadpool 2, portrayed by Dakoda Shepley.[2] Additionally, Len Doncheff, Richard Newman, and Colin Murdock have voiced Omega Red in animation.

Publication history

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Omega Red first appeared in X-Men #4 (vol. 2, January 1992), and was created by Jim Lee and John Byrne.[3]

Fictional character biography

Little is known about the past of Arkady Rossovich except that he was a serial killer born in Soviet Russia. He was captured by Interpol agent Sean Cassidy and turned over to the KGB, which wanted to experiment and attempt to create a super-soldier similar to Captain America. Omega Red was given carbonadium coils in his arms that slowly poison him and require him to drain the life force of others to survive.[4][5]

At some time in the past, the Soviet government decided that Omega Red was too unpredictable and treacherous to be relied upon and placed him in cryogenic suspended animation until a method could be found to control him. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Omega Red is revived by Matsu'o Tsurayaba, the leader of the Hand. Omega Red became a warrior serving Tsurayaba and was led to believe that Wolverine knew the whereabouts of the Carbonadium Synthesizer which could save his life, and sought him out in an effort to find this device. In doing so, he comes into conflict with the X-Men many times.[6][7][8]

Omega Red is killed after being stabbed in the heart by Wolverine.[9] The members of the Church of St. Mitrophan later obtain Omega Red's corpse and resurrect him in a mystical ceremony. However, the resurrection is incomplete, leaving Omega Red in danger of dying again until the Russian mafia uses Magik's abilities to restore him.[10]

During the Krakoan Age, Omega Red seeks asylum at Krakoa. Wolverine tries to persuade Magneto that Omega Red is too dangerous to be allowed on the island, as he poses a serious threat to its residents. Omega Red is captured by Dracula, who gives him the Carbonadium Synthesizer in exchange for serving him.[11]

It is later revealed that Omega Red has been killed under unknown circumstances.[12] He is resurrected by the Five, but has no memory of his death or rebirth, allowing him to serve X-Force as a double agent.[13]

Powers and abilities

Omega Red is a mutant with superhuman strength, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes, and the ability to secrete pheromones referred to as "Death Spores". The spores are fatal to humans and can kill within seconds. Furthermore, Omega Red possesses durable carbonadium coils in his wrists and the ability to drain the life force of others.

Omega Red is an excellent hand-to-hand combatant and military tactician. He was trained in various forms of armed and unarmed combat by both the Soviet government and various organizations throughout the Japanese and Russian criminal underworlds. Highly intelligent, he has quickly become highly skilled in the management of criminal organizations.
