History
The Peace Corpse was a group of Russian terrorists who, in order to promote financial growth through war, captured Royal Navy nuclear submarine HMS Waterwind. The Avengers were called in to diffuse the situation, but their efforts were complicated by confrontations with the People's Protectorate and the Atlanteans.
The sub was damaged and surfaced at Conception Bay. With Canadian waters penetrated, jurisdiction passed to Alpha Flight. While the combined heroes did almost stop the Peace Corpse, leaders Illyich Prokvitch and Strokov wired themselves into the nuclear payload. When the Vision and Vostok cut the connection, a failsafe was activated and a nuclear explosion ensued.[1]
Michael Twoyoungmen was able to shunt the affected area into his pouch. Once there, Prokvitch and Strokov became a being known as the Combine and threatened to destroy everyone. It was only when the other Peace Corpse members joined the Combine that they were able to sway that opinion and save the entire group of people by absorbing their irradiated energy.[2]Paraphernalia
