WINTER GUARD
Note: Winter Guard is the premier Russian superhero team. Its
history during the time of the Soviet Union, however, is more
gray. The team began as the Soviet Super Soldiers, including
Crimson Dyanmo, Darkstar, Ursa Major, Vanguard, and later
Gremlin. Following the disenchantment with corrupt Soviet
orders, however, all but Crimson Dynamo abandoned the team,
working instead as renegade heroes. The Soviets then put
together the Supreme Soviets, also known as the People’s
Protectorate, of Dynamo, Fantasma, Perun, Red Guardian, and
Vostok. At the same time, Soviet policy toward mutants,
caused Blind Faith to organize as many mutants as possible to
resist the state, including Darkstar, Ursa Major, and Vanguard.
Many of these heroes were slain by Remont 4, a new villainous
group that could not accept the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
Nevertheless, following the fall of the Soviet Union, the new
Russian state organized the Winter Guard, made up of most of
its living heroes, including Darkstar, Fantasma, Powersurge,
Sibercat, Steel Guardian (the renamed Red Guardian),
Vanguard, Vostok, most likely Perun and Ursa Major, and
possibly Airstrike.

Rocket Raccoon
Halfworld and the Keystone Quadrant: Long ago the Shrinks
constructed a vast, impenetrable galacian wall around the
Keystone Quadrant, locking in the Loonies, their robot
caretakers and animal companions. The robots developed
artificial intelligence and became uncomfortable around the
illogical loonies, so they genetically enhanced the intelligence of
the animals and made them the caretakers of the humans. The
world of Halfworld was divided between a fertile forest and the
sterile steel plains of the robots, who constructed prosthetics
for the animal guardians and parts for the Loonie's toys, and
began to labor on a huge humanoid starship. The Loonies lived in
blissful madness until the Toy War between Jakes and Dyvyne
erupted. Due to Ranger Rocket's valiant efforts and Uncle
Pyko's deciphering of the psychiatric diary called the Halfworld
Bible, the loonies were cured. Their custodianship over, most of
the animals and robots left the Keystone Quadrant seeking
adventure. [by Pat Tracy]

About Marvel UK
Marvel UK were a group of series created by the British section of
Marvel. I don´t remember all series but I know that among them
were Death´s Head II, Dark Angel, Warheads, Motormouth and
Killpower, and Knights of Pendragon. I followed only DH2, though I
have a few issues of some of the others, and since they had
multiple crossovers among them (like Mystech Wars, Battletide,
etc) that I got I know many of the characters well.
There were several underlying subplots to the series, including
an ecologist crusade (Knights of Pendragon and their Green Knight)
a corporate menace (Mystech) lots of time and dimensional
travelling (most characters had travelling powers) and a darker tone
(though tinted with humor) than the normal Marvel Universe.
Mystech, perhaps the most important baddies of the Marvel UK
Universe (along with Bane of the Knights of Pendragon, but I know
little of it) was a corporation lead by a cabal of 1,000 year-old
magicians serving Mephisto, and based in England. They were
necromancers and technomages, very nasty. The Warheads worked
for them, Dark Angel opposed them, they created Killpower and
DH2 was always running in their plots.
The Dark Guard was about the last thing Marvel UK published,
it gathered many of the characters in a group trying to stop
Mystech at the service of a "Time Guardian" character. Kind of a
cosmic guardian (yes, another one).
