The X-Men and Wolverine specifically, have faced multiple mutant villains in the last few decades but only a few have squared up to them as brutally as the villain that we are going to explore today, has. What you’re about to see was an attempt to create a supersoldier like Captain America by the Soviets but it turned out to be evil and something that even its creators could not control - resulting in the birth of a formidable mutant called Omega Red. Omega Red debuted in 1992 in X-Men issue 2 and is a relatively new persona, especially in comparison to some of Marvel's more classic X-Men villains.
