"*Listen closely. Your assault on our home has failed! Your brethren are beaten, dead and buried! No one is coming to save you. Your only hope for survival... lies with us. Surrender,* willingly*, and you will be...* spared*.*"
—**Glython** to the Nazi soldiers left after the German assault on Stalingrad
**Albert Vasilyev**, also known as **Glython**, is an Austrian-Russian superhuman and super soldier for the Soviet Union who was active since the 30s. Born and raised in Moscow, Albert was experimented on by the Soviets during his childhood, and through the Tunguska particle gained telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Since then, he was given the moniker of Glython and aided his superiors and the KGB in securing their interests over the next few decades, even believed to be the one to make Adolf Hitler commit suicide in 1945, and was instrumental in intelligence gatherings during the Cold War.

## Biography

### Early life

Born on September 1 in 1916, Albert Vasilyev was raised in Moscow, Russia by his Russian father and Austrian mother. Although he initially grew up to an ordinary childhood, he eventually was taken by the Soviet Union and experimented on with the Tunguska particle. While the odds of success with these experiments varied, Albert indeed became a superhuman, possessing the power of telepathy and telekinesis, and even flight. However, not long after receiving these powers, there was an incident where Albert brainwashed several Soviet personnel and went on a brief rampage, but was subdued. As a result, he was consequently drugged and conditioned so that he would not be able to use his telepathy specifically against Russian civilians and officials.

### Soviet super soldier

In the years since, Albert became a super soldier for the Soviets, taking on the name Glython and serving his government, under the rule of Joseph Stalin at the time, to his fullest potential. He became instrumental in many missions, mostly around gaining intel, interrogating others and even brainwashing political targets. By that point, he was seen as a superhero to Russians everywhere.

In 1945, during World War II, leader of Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler committed suicide. The Soviet Union has taken credit for this, claiming Glython came into contact with Hitler and used his telepathy to compel him to commit suicide. However, many experts around the world were skeptical and it is not officially certain Glython was the true killer.

## Powers and abilities

* **Superhuman Physiology:** Due to the Tunguska particle, Albert's cells were altered on a supernatural level, primarily his brain cells which gives him his telepathic abilities. He has increased durability, stamina and speed, as well as a certain level of superhuman strength.
	+ **Telepathy:** Glython can read and control the minds of others on a tremendous scale. These powers were instrumental during the Cold War as he was able to easily gather intel and interrogate the enemy while operating on the field. These powers have certain limits however; he was drugged early on to not able to use his telepathy on Russian personnel and civilians, unless ordered to by a superior.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Glython can lift and move around objects, as well as individuals with his mind, or through hand gestures. Unlike his telepathy, his telekinesis was not limited as significantly by the Soviets.
	+ **Flight:** Glython can fly to a certain degree. While he can hover masterfully, he isn't as particularly fast or agile as others with the ability.
