Vladislav

*"I see potential in you... And I need eyes and ears across the Imagisphere... Can I trust you with that, Hunter...?"
"Well, you saved me from death... And promised to avenge my Tribe. As long as you hold your end of the deal... I'll be your right-hand man."*
―Vladislav Drugov and Hunter J. Restless[src]
**Vladislav Drugov**, otherwise known as **The Red Menace**, is a gifted scientist whose universe suffered mass destruction, causing him to be sent to The Void. Residing within the hellish underworld, Vlad became upset with his universe's destruction, prompting him to build a new world on top of The Void's remains. Recruiting the Multiverse-misplaced Hunter J. Restless, Vlad promised that he would help Hunter avenge his fallen tribe if he operated as his right-hand man. Concluding Knollad, the Leader of *The Incredible Crew*, to be the key to his success, Vlad hoped to get to him by using his powers to create an absolute point in time to erase all variants of Knollad's best friend, Tanner, from existence. Brainwashing the variants of *The Incredible Crew* into believing that Tanner didn't exist, and that they were always friends with Hunter instead, Vlad then sent Hunter to check out some universes, to make sure none of the group's variants were breaking out of his script.

## History

### The Red Menace's Uprising

*"This is the place where everything that has been lost, forgotten, pruned... or corrupted... comes to fully be erased from existence... There's no real name for it... but I simply call it... The Void. My world, like yours... ended up here. I figured I build my new home on top of its remains..."*
―Vladislav to Hunter J. Restless[src]
Vladislav Drugov lived in a universe that unfortunately suffered mass destruction, causing his world to become corrupted. Vlad however, managed to survive the cataclysm, causing him to be sent to The Void with his reality's remains. Within this hellish underworld, Vlad became enraged by his universe's destruction, to the point that he decided that he would build a new world on top of The Void's remains. While inhabiting The Void, he created his own personal laboratory, where he would monitor the Multiverse and research different universes. Vlad soon discovered of Knollad, who he believed to be essential to helping him succeed.

### Recruiting Hunter J. Restless

*"You see, there is this guy... Knollad... He is the key to achieving our plans. But first, I need to get rid of his friend: Tanner... The task will be very difficult and dangerous, as it will bend the laws of reality... and I can only do it once... I will shit really hard and concentrate all my power on these toilets and create an absolute point in time to erase Tanner from existence. That fool will be farted away so far... He will never fart back... And you, Hunter, will replace him..."*
―Vladislav to Hunter J. Restless[src]

One day, Vladislav discovered of a universe that suffered mass corruption, just like his. Observing the madness, Vladislav salvaged Hunter J. Restless from his universe's destruction, under his beliefs that he had the potential to help him out. Returning to The Void with the universe-misplaced Hunter, Vladislav promised Hunter that he would help him avenge his fallen tribe if he became his right-hand man. Vladislav soon revealed to Hunter his great scheme to conquer the Multiverse, telling Hunter that in order to get to Knollad, they would have to get rid of his best friend, Tanner, first. Vladislav mentioned that this task would be difficult, as it would bend the laws of reality, and that he could only do it once. Vlad then told Hunter that he would concentrate really hard on the Teleportation Chairs to create an absolute point in time to erase Tanner from existence, and that Hunter would replace him.

Hunter was on board with this plan, but questioned why Vlad specifically wanted him to replace Tanner. Vlad claimed that Hunter was loyal, and that he saw potential in him. Believing he owed Vlad for saving his life, Hunter agreed to become Vlad's right-hand man, as long as he promised to uphold his end of the deal and help Hunter avenge his fallen tribe. Satisfied with Hunter's decision, Vlad initiated the Teleportation Chairs so they could go to Universe 1225, which was where Vlad hoped to trap the Tanner of that universe in a point in time. When Hunter asked why that specific universe, Vlad claimed it was because this variant of Tanner annoyed him the most, and figured it would be funny to shit him out of existence. Vlad and Hunter then sat down onto the Teleportation Chairs, and began to transport themselves to Universe 1225.

### Journey to Universe 1225

*"Now, let us travel to Universe 1225... This is where we'll trap Tanner in an absolute point in time..."
"Why that specific universe?"
"Because he's the one that annoys me the most. And I figured it would be funny to shit him out of existence!"*
―Vladislav and Hunter J. Restless[src]

Vladislav and Hunter were both transported by the Teleportation Chairs to Universe 1225. They continued to sit on the chairs, disguised as regular ones, when the Tanner of Universe 1225 walked outside *The Incredible Crew'*s house to get some fresh Christmas air. Vlad and Hunter remained sitting on the chairs, until they witnessed Tanner being run over by Silver Nazeer Ahmed in his 1970s Mercury Cougar. Sometime later, the other members of *The Incredible Crew* came outside to observe Tanner's dead corpse, before proceeding to battle Doctor Strange, who refused to bring Tanner back to life, under his concerns that his resurrection would jeopardize the Multiverse. While Knollad was busy dealing with Doctor Strange, Vlad initiated his point in time, causing this version of Tanner to be revived and trapped in an orb capable of infinitely looping of his own death. Vlad and Hunter quickly returned to The Void with the imprisoned Tanner, just before the universe was destroyed by a Black Atom.

### Tanner's Death

*"Tanner has been erased from every known universe and is now stuck in an infinite loop of his own death... But we can't be so sure..."*
―Vladislav to Hunter[src]

Returning to The Void, Hunter questioned if Vladislav's point in time worked. Vladislav revealed to Hunter that it had, saying that Tanner was now completely erased from every known universe, but that they couldn't be so sure. When Hunter asked what the next move was, Vlad gave him a list of universes to check out, hoping to have Hunter ensure that the variants of *The Incredible Crew* weren't breaking out of his script. Vlad mentioned to Hunter that upon arriving, the variants of *The Incredible Crew* should already treat him as their friend, but became concerned over the possibility that throughout the Multiverse, there would be at least one Knollad who would realize that Tanner was missing, and that once he did, he would go searching for him. Vlad told Hunter that if that happened, he had to report back to him so they could take action. Seeing Vlad's list of universes, consisting of Universe 334, Universe 747, and Universe 730, Hunter promised he'd check them out right away. Hunter then used the Teleportation Chairs to teleport himself to his first location.

### Monitoring Universe 616

*"I want you to go to Universe 616... And make sure they're not breaking out of script."*
―Vladislav to Hunter J. Restless[src]

Continuing to observe the Multiverse through his monitor, Vladislav discovered of Universe 616, a mysterious universe that Vlad hadn't seen before. Vlad started to monitor some data regarding Universe 616, and became intrigued upon learning that the identity of the universe's creator was unspecified. Sometime later, Vlad briefly observed *The Incredible Crew* of Universe 730, before reuniting with Hunter, who had returned to The Void to give Vlad a status report. Hunter told Vlad that Universe 730 was clear, stating that the group had no real recollection of their Tanner, and that Knollad behaved like he was his friend the whole time. Satisfied with this information, Vlad gave Hunter his next task, which was to go to Universe 616 and make sure *The Incredible Crew* of that universe weren't breaking out of script. Hunter promised he would do so. Before leaving, Hunter asked Vlad how his prisoner was doing. Vlad told Hunter that the Tanner of Universe 1225 was doing just fine, behaving well.
