<B>Real Name:</B> Dimtri Bukharin
<B>Group Affiliation:</B> (Former) KGB Operative, Government Operative
<B>Height:</B> 6'
<B>Weight:</B> 200 lbs.
<B>Eyes:</B> Brown
<B>Hair:</B> None
<B>Powers:</B> The Crimson Dynamo armor granted Bukharin superhuman strength, protection from most forms of attack, and a wide range of missile and machine gun attacks. Complete with a sensor array, radio transceiver and jammer, rocket jets, and a one-hour air supply, the armor also possessed the ability to generate powerful destructive bolts of electricity. The Airstrike armor presumably offers similar capabilities.
In our reality, Dimitri Bukharin was a KGB agent during the Soviet regime in what was USSR. Bukharin was the fifth man to don the Crimson Dynamo armor in order to join and spy upon the newly-formed team of superhuman champions, the Soviet Super-Soldiers, until they realized he was a spy and expelled him from their group. Much later, Bukharin was assigned a mission to revive the former Soviet agent, the Titanium Man, a mission that led to a destructive battle in America between the two. Framing the Crimson Dynamo as performing a rampage against America, the government relieved Bukharin of duty as the Dynamo. The Soviet Union was no more, and the non-armored Bukharin was still a member of the People's Protectorate. His superiors in the Protectorate's management gave him a new armor and code name: Airstrike. Bukharin's history as Airstrike remains to be revealed, including his activities now that the People's Protectorate have become the superteam known as the Winter Guard.

As the mysterious and overpowered Hyperion and his super-powered allies from Weapon X lay siege to New York City, it became evident that he posed a threat unlike ever faced on this planet. Allies of the United States contemplated sending in the likes of the Invaders or Republican Guard to stop this global threat. The Crimson Dynamo was a member of the latter team of super heroes.
