== Background ==
=== Marvel Comics ===
Red Guardian is the Russian answer to Captain America. The original one was Alexei Shostakov, Black Widow's husband who had to fake his death to train him in secret into becoming Red Guardian (and his presumed death being the reason for Natasha taking the "Black Widow" identity).
=== MCU ===
Red Guardian was an associate of the Red Room who was betrayed by its leader Dreykov and sentenced to life in prison. He was freed by his surrogate daughters Natasha and Yelena, who forced him to lead them to the Red Room. Once they made it to the Red Room, an airborne base owned by Dreykov, he was forced in combat against Dreykov’s daughter and enforcer Taskmaster. He escapes the battle with the help of his wife Melina, who blows up one of the Red Room’s engines. He then escapes the Red Room with Melina, Yelena and a reformed Taskmaster, as Natasha stays back to hold off the United States government.
He, Taskmaster and Yelena are letter recruited into a team known as the Thunderbolts, alongside Ghost, Bucky Barnes, and U.S. Agent.
