==Summary==
Arkady Rossovich AKA Omega Red is a primary antagonist from the Marvel vs. Capcom series. A mutant serial killer enhanced through the Soviet Union's super soldier program, Rossovich was implanted with Carbonadium metal. This would grant him retractable metal tendrils, which he could use as whips that spawn out from his arms. Although he was sealed for 30 years, he managed to break out, going on an unauthorized killing spree. Omega Red's lack of hesitance to kill, integrated weaponry, and unique ability to drain the vitality of others has made him a dangerous opponent, having often fought the X-Men as a result.
After the first defeat of Apocalypse, Omega Red launched a standalone ambush on Russia, easily fending off against its military. In response, Zangief and Colossus joined forces to protect their beloved home.
