Powers and Abilities[]

  • Super Soldier Physiology: Alexei Shostakov, also known as the Red Guardian, was enhanced through a Soviet version of the Super Soldier Serum, boosting his physical abilities to superhuman levels. While aging, time in prison, and weight gain have reduced his peak capabilities, he still retains considerable strength and endurance beyond that of a normal human. Despite these limitations, he can perform feats of exceptional power and resilience, marking him as a formidable presence even in his current state.
    • Enhanced Strength: Alexei Shostakov possesses significant superhuman strength, enabling him to achieve impressive physical feats. At his peak, he demonstrated the ability to effortlessly hurl a large metal waste container several meters. Even after years of imprisonment, his strength remains formidable—he routinely bests hardened inmates in arm wrestling matches and was able to snap the wrist of a strong, imposing prisoner named Ursa. Alexei has showcased his power by pulling a guard through a window with one arm, breaking down thick metal doors, and easily tossing correctional officers aside. In battle, he proved resilient, fighting against Taskmaster without severe injury and knocking away the combatant’s shield with such force that it embedded into the ground. Despite his great strength, he could not break free from the reinforced containment cells at the Red Room Academy.
    • Enhanced Speed: Thanks to the super-soldier enhancements, Alexei Shostakov is capable of moving at speeds far beyond that of an ordinary human. This was clearly demonstrated during his family's escape from Ohio, where he managed to keep pace with a rapidly accelerating plane on foot as it was preparing for takeoff. This remarkable burst of speed underscores his enhanced agility and reflexes, enabling him to move quickly when the situation demands.
    • Enhanced Reflexes:
    • Enhanced Agility: Despite his weight gain over the years, Alexei Shostakov retains impressive agility, showcasing remarkable nimbleness and coordination. He demonstrated this by effortlessly leaping onto the upper levels of the gulag prison courtyard, exhibiting fluidity and power in his movements. Additionally, he used a guard's riot shield as a springboard to propel himself upward, further highlighting his ability to perform agile maneuvers even under challenging conditions.
    • Enhanced Durability: Alexei Shostakov possesses durability far beyond that of a normal human, allowing him to endure impacts and resist harm. He survived a fall from a high level within a gulag prison without suffering fractures or spinal injuries. Additionally, a single tranquilizer dart had no noticeable effect on him, requiring many more to subdue him. His pain tolerance is evident as well—he displayed no reaction to tattoo needles while arm-wrestling inmates. However, his durability has limits; he remains vulnerable to tasers and was defeated in combat by the highly skilled Taskmaster.
    • Regenerative Healing Factor:
