Comrade was less popular in America and Europe, but his distinct appearance made him stick out to non-Soviets, at least compared to many other Russian Capes. He was believed to have gone into retirement after the fall of the soviet union.

[[File:Comrade Civilian.jpg|thumb|left|Boris's and his beautiful Beard)]]


Boris is a handsome older man, He has black hair, that has turned white with age. A full beard and mustache (also white). He has a number of scars, along with a few tattoos
He has more recently been featured in several popular meme templates by modern pro-communist internet communities.


Comrade's Changer form is a Humanoid figure, made of metal, it resembles a stylized robot although it is solid metal. It possesses Glowing red eyes that resemble LED lights.
Comrade is noted to have been seen a number of times in the city of Ashton Washington, and many are wondering if this means that his retirement is over.


His Costume is a stylized USSR Costume.

=== Resources ===
Boris is an old man, plain and simple. He has aged gracefully, although he still carries the tell-tale signs of being past his prime. His face is wrinkled, with a beard as white as a Russian winter. He has dark brown eyes, and a surprisingly full head of white hair.
<!-- Equipment and resources. You can do a list like so: -->
WEALTH: 7
*A very high quality tinker-lab with a number of expensive manufacturing equipment (fancy, but somewhat antiquated by modern standards)
*A stockpile of memento’s from the Soviet Union (Awards, Photographs, Autographs)
*A collection of Antique Firearms including a pair of well kept Makarov Pistols,
a battered PPS submachine gun, a KS-23 Shotgun, and a Mosin-Nagant rifle.


Boris has not been slacking on his fitness routine in his old age, and is about as fit as a man in his sixties ''can'' be. He has never been a tall man, and age has only seen him shrink a few inches, many of his grandchildren now stand taller than him.


=== Equipment ===
Boris's Changer form is that of a metallic humanoid with glowing red eyes, and early in his career as a cape, he was mistaken for either a robot, or for someone wearing a unusually tight power armour.


*Type 2 Kevlar costume
Comrade has sported a number of different outfits and uniforms over his long career, but his old fall back has always been a stylized version of a 'Red Army' great-coat.
*Cellular Phone
*Combat knife
*Stun-gun
*Zipties


In his civilian attire, he prefers comfortable sweater vests and simple Khaki pants.

==== Comrade's standard Model Laser Pistol ====

Boris also has in his possession a veritable treasure trove of Soviet-era Memorabilia, along with a collection of extremely well-maintained Soviet weaponry: including a pair of well kept Makarov Pistols, a slightly-battered PPS submachine gun, a KS-23 Shotgun, and a Mosin-Nagant rifle (It is not unheard of for him to carry his Makarov's with him if he is nervous)

Comrade usually carries a number of Mundane items with him in both his day to day life, and on Patrols:

A single shot can melt a hole in a tenth of an inch of steel plate. The Pistols come with a laser dot for aiming. They have an effective range of 100 yards (blasts leave holes similar to a 9mm in size)These particular laser pistols have no impact and work solely on heat

=== Backstory ===
Backstory
The story starts with Boris, a former soldier, a promising engineer, a hard working patriot. Boris works for a small Research and Development company in Moscow.
The year 1985 is the beginning of a brand new world, people have begun developing superpowers, the world has mixed responses to the introduction of ‘Parahumans’ to the status quo. Boris is unsure what to think about such an unexpected development. The world was already so goddamn weird, super heroes might as well be a thing.
The Following year a terrible creature dubbed an ‘Endbringer’ destroys Chernobyl, Ukraine. Eventually being slain by a combination of the military and the 1 generation of Parahumans. The destruction of an entire city cements the idea that the world has truly changed.
The scientific community is working in overdrive to unravel and reverse-engineer the works of these ‘Tinkers’ and ‘Thinkers’. The appearance of the first Endbringer has spurred countries to fund research towards more effective weapon and defensive systems.
After a great deal of hard work, Boris manages to arrange for his department to visit an international research conference. Boris had to go above his borderline-abusive supervisor’s head to arrange for the visit. Suffice to say Boris’s supervisor had taken this poorly, The supervisor made it clear that he didn’t think that anything worth attending could be hosted in a place like Germany, and that when this fucked up, it would be on Boris’s head.
Boris’s worst fears came true, as the event was a let down. He could practically feel his supervisor’s glare as he watched the scientist on stage. The poor guy’s presentation had failed, Boris might have felt bad for the strangely accented german scientist,were he not having his own panic attack at what could easily be the end of his own promising career. Trigger
After having gotten the hang of his abilities, Boris would go on to be a founding member for the USSR's first Government Cape team. Thus Captain Comrade was born,
Years later after the fall of the Soviet Union, Boris would hang up his costume and retire… for now.

Captain Comrade was rather famous in the Soviet Union. He was on the USSR’s first government sponsored Cape teams (not unlike America’s own Protectorate.)

It was not unheard of for Captain Comrade to appear on propaganda posters in Russia, and was featured often in the Soviet Unions own less-successful comic book industry, even making appearances in Non-soviet comics.

Comrade was less popular in America and Europe, but his distinct appearance made him stick out to non-Soviets, at least compared to many other Russian Capes. He was believed to have gone into retirement after the fall of the soviet union.

He has more recently been featured in several popular meme templates by modern pro-communist internet communities.

Comrade is noted to have been seen a number of times in the city of Ashton Washington, and many are wondering if this means that his retirement is over.

Captain Comrade is a Multi-trigger with Devilfish:Doktor Vernichtung

++ Primary Power: Light/Photon Tinker specialty ++

His primary ability manifests as a tinker specialty relating Light. This is very useful for things like Lasers and hard light weaponry (or defenses). His specialty has room for expansion and experimentation into esoteric forms of Light (IE not 100% accurate to real light based physics) but Boris usually prefers to stick to classics like Laser guns, Hardlight swords.

His specialty is Mostly weapons featuring various kinds of Laser and Hard-light. Maybe armour that is highly resistant or reflective to light-based attacks. he can probably make some kick ass tinker tech light-bulbs/LEDs. he could probably make decent light-based sensors. but the majority of his tech would be various blaster weapons.


++ Secondary Power: Metallurgic Changer form ++

Boris can transform into a Metallic changer form, he superficially resembles a robot with glowing red eyes. This Changer form is not made of any known metal, but has a durability approximately on par with Steel.

Boris’s changer form does not gain any increase to mobility or flexibility (it stays about as swift and flexible as an older man slightly past his prime), although it maintains the same weight that Boris does in his human form.

Boris can ignore many wounds that would be fatal on a regular human, including removal of arms and legs, along with holes in his torso, that go all the way through (serious damage to the head is still lethal).

Damage to Boris’s changer form does not carry over to his human form, His Changer form can regenerate slowly (but only while he is in human form, he also cannot re-enter his changer form until it is fully healed, this process usually takes anywhere from a few hours for superficial damage to a few days for missing limbs.)
