History

Aleksey Lebedev was the first Red Guardian, created as a Soviet counterpart to Captain America during World War II. He came to the authorities' attention by his heroic actions following an industrial accident. He had lost most of his family to the Nazis invasion of Russia.

He was sent into Berlin in an attempt to secure the strong box of Adolf Hitler. He failed and had to report his failure to Stalin. There he met Captain America, Spirit of '76 and the Patriot.

Red Guardian fought alongside the (second Captain America) and the Prince Namor at the Potsdam Conference in July, 1945.

When the Cold War began, he opposed the All-Winners Squad and the third Captain America.

Aleksey reportedly was killed during Soviet purges in the 1950s, for his opposition to the experiments that would lead to Alexei Shostakov becoming the next Red Guardian.
