History[]
Red Guardian's Glory Days[]
During his exploits as Red Guardian, Alexei Shostakov wore a uniform in an attempt to imitate Captain America. However, after Shostakov was imprisoned in Seventh Circle Prison by General Dreykov, the uniform was left in the care of Melina Vostokoff at her homestead.[3]
Reborn[]
Upon Red Guardian's reunion with his wife Melina Vostokoff, he found his uniform in a back room in her homestead. He immediately decided to try on the uniform again and had a hard time fitting in, but eventually did. He was then captured in the uniform and taken to the Red Room, where he faced Taskmaster and eventually escaped, fleeing with Melina Vostokoff, the Black Widows, Taskmaster, and Yelena Belova.[3]
Capabilities[]
Red Guardian's Uniform is made of a durable material and is designed to look and function like Captain America's Uniform. The material is soft enough to allow free movement as well as be soft enough for a needle to poke through.
