Arkady Rossovich (Earth-7642)

Omega Red is an albino, with glowing red eyes, chalk-pale skin. Cybernetics and tubing are visible on his cheeks and body. Implanted within his arms are long coils made of Carbonadium, an unstable, artificial alloy that resembles adamantium but is more malleable and considerably less resistant to damage. The coils serve as a conduit for his lethal pheromones.

History

Stand clear -- and let a real super soldier through!

-- Omega Red ^src

Arkady Rossovich seemingly had a similar history as his Earth-616 counterpart. He was a convicted criminal before being turned into Omega Red. As a government agent, he was an antagonist of Team X and was almost killed by operative Victor Creed.

All Sold Out

Circa 1970, he was sent to help guard the Numidian Army's super-soldier program. He and Madamoiselle Mirielle Duplessis found Creed breaking into the facility. They were about to kill him, but he was rescued by his Team X teammates, forcing them to retreat. They then regrouped with Leni Zauber; however, they were ambushed by both Team 7 and Team X. Rossovich chased them across the complex only for them to escape and destroy the facility. Omega Red survived and swore vengeance.^[1]
