History[]

Joining the Axis[]

"The Reich shall win because we are unified. In blood as in purpose. While our enemies...are the polyglot peasants of Europe and the mongrel masses of North America."
Colonel Lohmer[src]

By early 1941, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria had joined the Axis powers during World War II, aligning with Nazi Germany.[1]

Communist Regime[]

"Under the communist regime, public gatherings were prohibited in Bucharest, and people were forced to meet in private homes or secret clubs."
Jemma Simmons[src]

During the Romanian communist regime, public gatherings were not allowed in Bucharest, forcing the people to meet in their homes or to form secret clubs across the city. Some of those clubs remained active after the end of the regime, sometimes hosting illegal meetings.[2]

Cold War[]

"It was the Cold War. We were everywhere. Belgrade, Belfast, Bucharest, Budapest."
Nick Fury to Carol Danvers[src]

During the Cold War, CIA sent Nick Fury on a mission in Bucharest.[3]

Transhumanists Meeting[]

"So, where is Dr. Radcliffe?"
"We think Romania, but his exact whereabouts are unknown."
Phil Coulson and Jemma Simmons[src]

During the Romanian communist regime, the government deemed public socialization and organization of the Transhumanist group, a biologically augmenting society of human individuals, illegal. As a result, the determined Transhumanists continued their research and regular conventions underground, at times, forming black markets to share their work. After the governmental reformation, from a communist to a democratic state, Transhumanists were able to freely express themselves and their modern ideals and thus regularly met in Bucharest to exchange ideas and technology.[2]

Adoption of Razor Fist[]

Xu Wenwu to Shang-Chi[src]

Xu Wenwu traveled to Romania for business purposes. During his visit, he found a child named Mattias who had lost his right hand, but was able to juggle three balls with his remaining arm. Wenwu took a liking to Mattias since he reminded him of his son Shang-Chi, and decided to adopt him.[4]
