History
The seventh Red Guardian, Anton was a member of the Winter Guard. Anton claimed to be an engineer and one of the original Crimson Dynamo pilots. He eventually transferred his mind to an Life-Model Decoy in order to be stronger than a human.[2]
The Winter Guard and War Machine helped defend Russia during the Skrull Invasion.[3]
When the Protectorate returned to Earth, they revealed that long-time member Fantasia was actually a Dire Wraith all along. They went to the former Winter Guard base, where she was waiting. While they were hiding in the building, Anton attempted to create a plan, but was decapitated by a Dire Wraith. His head was kept in storage, seemingly still alive, by Galina Nemirovsky, planning to use him to destroy the Winter Guard.[4]Attributes
