Universe with a fondness for armored ID
match positive the Crimson Dynamo has
returned welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we will explore the comic book
origins of the Crimson Dynamo
as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
which unfolded in 1963 s tales of
suspense number 46 and 1964 s tales of
suspense number 52 which was expanded
upon in 1970s Iron Man number 21 1976 s
champions number 9 and 1978 Iron Man
number 109 the Crimson Dynamo is one of
iron man’s oldest foes having debuted in
1963 when old shell head was still
wearing his bulky gold armor whoever
dons the Crimson Dynamo suit instantly
has superhuman strength heightened
durability and tremendous control over
electricity including the power to
disrupt electric fields with the suit on
a regular Joe becomes a near unstoppable
force the world met the Crimson Dynamo
way back in 1963 only a few months after
Iron Man himself debuted in tales of
suspense number 46 none other than
Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev
himself made an appearance Khrushchev
was witnessing a demonstration of the
newest creation of the brilliant
scientist Anton Vanko a crimson suit of
armor as the professor demonstrated to
the premiere while wearing this armor he
could perform incredible feats and
control electricity he was christened to
the Crimson Dynamo a suitable name for
the newest weapon of the Red Army
Khrushchev was paranoid about anyone who
could pose a threat to him so he planned
to dispose of enco but not before the
professor completed an important mission
panco was charged with destroying the
empire of Tony Stark America’s number
one weapons manufacturer Benko readily
accepted the challenge for he knew that
to bring Stark to his knees he would
have to defeat Iron Man something that
would show the world how powerful his
creation was Benko travelled to the
United States and began waging war on
starts various plants
he remained out of sight hoping thereby
to draw Iron Man out
to the open at last after crippling
several of Starks businesses the Crimson
Dynamo and Iron Man went head-to-head
Ironman was able to defeat the Dynamo by
encircling him in a trap made of wood
leaving him with no electricity to
command but Ironman didn’t stop there he
made Benko realized that Khrushchev
intended to do away with him when he
returned to his native country Benko
renounced his ties to the Soviet Union
and decided to use his considerable
talents on behalf of the United States
instead Banco was the first person to
assume the mantle of the Crimson Dynamo
but he was hardly the last a few months
later two Russian spies a strong brute
named Boris and an alluring woman known
as the Black Widow were sent to destroy
Vanko and stark after capturing Vanko
Boris put on the suit and fought Iron
Man as the new Crimson Dynamo
he was eventually defeated when Danko
used a new weapon on him but at the cost
of both of their lives
the Crimson Dynamo wasn’t gone however
in 1970 Alex Nevsky a Soviet protege of
vanko’s gained access to the armor and
became the new Crimson Dynamo a fourth
man yuri petrovich took on the identity
in a vain attempt to assassinate the
black widow who is now working for the
united states as well these were
short-lived versions of the character
but Dmitry bukharin v dynamo had
considerably more staying power he was
introduced in 1978 and lasted for 12
years even after the fall of communism
the Crimson Dynamo kept popping up in
new guises after all you can’t keep a
good villain down one version or another
of the Crimson Dynamo has made his way
into various media
his armor based powers make him a
natural opponent for Ironman on the
screen and he’s even infiltrated the
world of pop music being included in
Paul McCartney’s 1975 song Magneto and
Titanium Man
although Mickey Rourke’s character in
Iron Man 2 is technically whiplash he is
meant to be the son of Anton Vanko who
helped Tony Stark create a prototype of
the arc reactor in the 1960s and who
passes away in the opening scenes of the
film are you a fan of the Crimson Dynamo
