The burnished ruby warrior known as The Crimson Dynamo (First Appearance: Tales o Suspense #46, 1963) is one of Iron Man's foremost adversaries. Since its creation, several agents of Russian or Soviet allegiance have worn the Crimson Dynamo armor. While the wearers of this powerful battle suit have changed through the years, one thing remained the same: the main reason for their wearing the scarlet suit was to take on the Golden Avenger. And given the superhuman strength and durability granted by the armor, as well as flight, missile, and blaster ability, they have come close to victory many time.
