Bio:
Anton was a famous actor, usually portraying a giant or ultra strong hero in Russian films in the 60’s. When the USSR and America were at the height of the Cold War, demented Soviet government scientist Dankevitch Karensky began experiments to create superhuman soldiers. Anton, thanks to an already impressive build, was asked to volunteer for the experiments, and when it was done he emerged as Comrade Kremlin, super friend to all Russians. But it soon became clear that Karensky’s main motivation was the unification of all Soviet people under one belief, a morale booster to help bolster Communist power. The Comrade appeared on countless propaganda television shows and war films, and in America he became known as the Super Soviet. Though Comrade Kremlin did as he was told, Anton really had no knowledge of or interest in politics or war. Eventually he came to realize that the common people of his country were suffering under the weight of the government, and he denounced his home nation, defecting to the U.S. After a rocky start amid rising anti-communist paranoia, Anton was finally accepted into American society, and even changed his superhero name to Kladenets, after a magical sword from old Russian folklore.
