    And lets not forget that Romulus got dumped into another dimension and not heard from him since....

    Didn't Epsilon Red go into space or something? From what I remember, he wasnt made to be a soldier but rather an astronaut.

    But I would love to see a Red Program which would be the Russians version of Weapon X/Operation: Rebirth. I mean surely there would be more of them... Alpha Red, Beta Red, Delta Red etc etc. Would love to see that explored more and of course what made Arkady Omega Red.

    I love Omega Red!, especially in the animated series and i kinda have a mass omega comic collection. I disliked that he was killed off in a mass Wolverine killing spree, his character had much more potential.

    Check, check and check on all the posts since mine. I got and read the Mav one-shot with Omega Red, which (correct me if I am wrong) is really the only place that directly addresses his attacks on children. I see a pretty ambiguous reference there. To me, that looks more like he was straight energy-draining them. The death spores were his inborn ability... can see where that would make someone that crazy, where they'd stop giving a damn.

    Either that... or Marvel wanted to drive it home that THIS GUY IS BAD! BAD! BAD!

    Either way... yeah, the entire Romulus thing can kiss my bender. SO lame.

    Omega red was one of my favorite X villains.

    They did him justice in the x-Men animated series, but he was a wuss in xmen evolution.

    Some thoughts on potential other Russian Reds:

    I based these on some of the uses for the Greek alphabet in physics and other sciences. Anyone with a better grasp of hard science than me is free to correct/add to my musings.

    Alpha Red-Code name for Golden Age Red Guardian http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/redgrd.htm
    Beta Red- Result of early atomic experimentation. Blasts of beta radiation perhaps.
    Delta Red- Heat projection
    Epsilon Red -http://marvel.wikia.com/Epsilon_Red_%28Earth-616%29
    Zeta Red - Liquid control or body composed of liquid, like Hydro-Man.
    Kappa Red - Heat resistance/cold projection? Maybe this guy http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/coldwarc.htm
    Pi Red - Immortality
    Rho Red - Density control - Red Ghost http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Ghost
    Phi Red - Magnetism control

    These are just some off-hand ideas. Again, feel free to add to them.
