Dmitri Pushkin
Dmitri Dmitriyevich Pushkin was a Soviet soldier who became one of the armored heroes of the Rocket Red Brigade, a state-sponsored team of powered warriors. He went on to serve as a member of both Justice League International and Justice League Europe, representing his homeland on the global stage.
Dmitri Pushkin burst onto the DC scene in 1987, debuting in The Green Lantern Corps #209 courtesy of the legendary creative team of Steve Englehart and Joe Staton β a Copper Age introduction that planted him firmly in one of comics' most dynamic and expansive eras. Over nearly four decades of publication, he's carved out a steady presence across the beloved Justice League titles β Justice League Europe, Justice League International, and Justice League America β sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Captain Atom, The Flash (Wally West), and Kara Zor-L, which tells you everything about the caliber of company he keeps. With three key collector issues to his name and 53 catalog appearances spanning all the way to 2026, Dmitri is a genuinely enduring figure in DC's international superhero landscape, the kind of character who rewards fans who dig deeper into the rich ensemble storytelling that defined the Justice League's celebrated late-'80s and '90s golden run.

Trivia
- In a rare DC move, the Rocket Red identity was deliberately fractured across multiple bearers, making Dmitri Pushkin specifically Rocket Red #4 β a designation most adaptations quietly drop, leaving casual fans unaware they're only getting half the story.heroes-and-villain.fandom.com
- Folded into one of DC's most influential team books of the late 1980s, Pushkin earned unusually high visibility for a Soviet supporting hero, and that platform transformed the Rocket Red Brigade from a potential one-off gimmick into a recurring fixture of Justice League history.heroes-and-villain.fandom.com
- Keith Giffen has written more of Dmitri Pushkin's comics than any other writer in our catalog β 30 issues.
