Omega Red

Omega Red is a Marvel Comics supervillain — a brutal Russian supersoldier enhanced with carbonadium tentacles and a lethal 'death factor' that drains life energy from victims. A former Soviet experiment, he became a persistent enemy of Wolverine and the X-Men.

A fearsome presence in the Marvel universe since his 1994 debut in Strange #300, this Omega Red has been haunting the pages of French Panini publications for three decades, keeping dangerous company alongside the likes of Spider-Man, Logan, and Iron Man. Emerging in the Copper/Modern Age, he's a character whose very name carries menace, turning up across titles as varied as Ultimate Spider-Man and Deadpool: Black, White & Blood. With eight catalog appearances spanning thirty years, he's a cult figure for Franco-phone Marvel collectors who know that sometimes the most intriguing corners of comics history live in the international editions.
