NAME: BLAZING STAR Piotr Gregov was the former Soviet Union's pride and joy. Born a mutant with the ability to manipulate radiation and other forms of cosmic energy, Piotr's talents were quickly recognized and requisitioned to serve the Motherland. In the early 1980's, with his KGB training complete, Piotr became Blazing Star, the poster child for Soviet strength, limitless potential and unshakable will. During the collapse of the Soviet Union, fearing the loss of all he was trained to believe in, Piotr was recruited by a splinter organization that believed they could seize control of the government and return strength to the nation. Centurion and a handful of others were dispatched to Moscow and managed to stem the coup diplomatically and with little bloodshed. Shamed and disgraced, Blazing Star proclaimed that he would repent for his wrongdoings in self-imposed exile and promptly fled into the depths of space. Blazing Star was not seen again for over a decade, until 2004 when he led an assault against the Grue fleet as it rested in Earth orbit, preparing for invasion. With the Soviet Union extinct, Piotr has seemingly appointed all of Earth's nations to be in his charge. He has tended to retain isolationist tendencies, working with other heroes only when circumstances dictate. Even so, it is rumored that he spends a great deal of time watching over his birth nation, perhaps lamenting over glory days long since past. |
