Enough Russian Mutants for Russian X-Men team?

[Master of Sound]

I alsways wondered why the Winter Guard was more related to the Avengers as to the X-Men.

That made me fantasize about a Russian equivalent of the X-Men.

Which Russian mutants do we have besides the Rasputin siblings, Ursa Major, Darkstar and Vanguard (current Red Guardian)?

Was Sivercat not a mutant as well?

And with which of them would you create an all mutants Winter Guard?



PS: A new Winter Guards mini is coming soon.

Ursa Major died in the last issue of the Avengers, it will be interesting if he is resurrected by the Five.

OMG, I did not know that. What has happened?

Is Marvel so cruel that they would kill their only teddy bear?

[Aeon]

The Russians stormed Avenges mountain und kidnapped Shulk. Red Widow killed the teddy afterwards.

Ugh! Then bring him home to Krakoa!

There were a bunch of Russian mutants introduced in X-Factor (and much later killed off in a crappy follow-up story to fluff up some nameless schmuck with guns, but since they can be resurrected, it's irrelevant).

Names I can find online are Iron Curtain, Siberian Tiger/Sibercat, Blind Faith, Stencil, Mentac and Concussion.

Added to Vanguard, Ursa Major, Darkstar, Colossus, Magik and Mikhail Rasputin, there's more than enough for a Russian X-Men!

Some of these returned in Cullen Bann’s Uncanny.

So for an all mutant Winter Guard I'd have them become X-Guard and consist of :

Darkstar
Vanguard (no longer Red Guardian)
Medved (Ursa Major)
Vostok (mutants can have an android) programmed to detect Sentinels
Sibercat
Stencil

Reserves on rotation: Snow Leopards

[Master of Sound]

For a Winter Guard series becoming X-Guard I would surely include the most popular Russian mutants, otherwise it would not sell. So, looking at all those who we found so far, I would create this team;

Colossus
Magik
Darkstar
Red Guardian (Vanguard)
Ursa Major
Stencil (cool powers)
Sibercat & the Snow Leopards

Didn’t die, he’s seen in the upcoming Winter Guard mini.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe Ursa Major was resurrected because he looked pretty dead in Avengers #46, Avengers #47 is out this week so we may learn more about his fate in that ?.

I honestly think he’ll be saved by the Avengers. He’s gone toe-to-toe with the Hulk. Widow’s blade should only make a flesh wound.
