Rocket Red Brigade
The Rocket Red Brigade (Russian: Ракетная Красная Бригада, romanized: Raketnaya Krasnaya Brigada) is a DC Comics superhero team. They first appeared in Green Lantern Corps #208 (January 1987), and were created by Steve Englehart and Joe Staton.
Originally created for the Soviet Union by Green Lantern Kilowog, the Rocket Red Brigade — normal human beings enhanced using "forced evolution" and armoured battle-suits — proudly defended the USSR.
Their abilities included super strength, invulnerability, flight (through rocket packs/boots), the ability to project powerful energy blasts and "mecha-empathy" — the ability to sense and control computers and machines.
Decorated Russian soldier Josef Denisovich was a close friend of the alien Green Lantern Kilowog. He was also the first member of the Rocket Red Brigade. Denisovich was turned against Kilowog by the Soviet government and died fighting him.
In Checkmate #22, it is revealed that Checkmate has since recruited the current Rocket Red #1, Maks Chazov, as its White Queen's Knight, with the apparent consent of Chazov's superiors.
Vladimir Mikoyan was the first Rocket Red admitted into Justice League International. During the Millennium event, Mikoyan was discovered to be an undercover Manhunter android and destroyed by Booster Gold and the Justice League.
Mikhail Arkadin, the Russian hero also known as Pozhar, wore a modified suit of Rocket Red armor while serving as a member of the Red Shadows.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, the other Rocket Reds fell on hard times. Several were brainwashed to serve as agents of the super-criminal Sonar. Many of the suits ended up on the black market. Some of the Rocket Reds began working for the Russian mafia to support themselves.
