As Coldsteel

Stalin's soul was condemned to Satannish's Hell after his mortal death. Stalin was brought back decades later, transformed by Satannish into Coldsteel. He stood nearly 9-feet tall and possessed immense power, enough to beat the Avenger US Agent nearly to death.[1]

Coldsteel and the other members of the Lethal Legion fought on behalf of Satannish against Mephisto in a struggle to collect the most potent of souls for the Hell-Lords' collections.[7]
