I need some help...Looking for a few good characters.

[Mrh7448]

I'm working on something using Marvel characters.

I've figured out my good guys but having trouble with some of the antagonists.

I'm looking for superheroes or villains from the areas of Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey or the Middle East.

Any ideas, so far I've only come up with Baron Mordo, Baron Blood, the Red Skull and Nightcrawler, but I'm looking for a strong man type, like the Hulk.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Sabra is Isreali.

 

[Anubis]

How about abomonation

 

[The Question]

Abomination is Russian, not from Germany, Hungary, Austria, Blugaria, or the middle east. Sabra was mentioned, and she's fought the Hulk a few times. She's only about half as strong as him, but she's also a goot deal faster and more agile, and has more offensive weapons, so it balances out a bit.

 

[Mrh7448]

Isn't Abomination Russian? If I can't find anyone else I might have to just go with him and change his nationality.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Master Man's from Germany. He's basically a stronger, German version of Captain America.

 

[Anubis]

I know he's Russian, but does it really matter? He's strong, and he's from around the general area. Just say he's from some country that used to be part of russia before the wall fell and boom. Instant strong man.

 

[Mrh7448]

For the stuff I'm doing it takes place during WW1 so I'm looking for what would be part of the Central Powers during that time.

Russia and the States were allies...

If I can't find anyone else, I'll turn him into a German or make him a traitor or something if I have to.

HOLD TIGHT, MR. H. I'll be right back with a great resource. I've just got to find it.

Or if this is considered "Spam" just look for internationalhero from the United Kingdom, either on google or by typing in the name of the site followed by a .co instead of a .com. Then put the letters uk. As in united kingdom. So it would be .co.uk after internationalhero.

It is not a complete list. and some of them are just weird. But it might help give you some ideas.

Thanks Super Mark...aprreciate the link...I'll have to take some time to look through it.

Actually I think The Abomination was of Yugoslav descent( hence his name Emil Blonsky). The only known heroes in the Middle East are Sabra and The Arabian Knight.

as far as heroes go, Nightcrawler is from Germany, Mystique is from Austria, Magik (Jimaine) is from Germany. I'm done, thank you.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Blitzkreig (sp?) is German also.

 

[Silver Sable]

Isn't Colossus european?

 

[Doc Destruction]

Russian

 

[Silver Sable]

Ok so he is

 

[Super Mark]

Pieter's sister, Magik, was Russian, too.

And of course, Vlad Dracula is from Eastern Europe! The old Romanian province of... Transylvania!

The Foreighner, assasin extrodinare and Silver Sables ex-husband, is from some (unknown) European nation, but is probably from everywhere and nowhere. Silver Sable? A little help?

Doctor Doom is from a fake country that I believe is Eastern European; the name sounds like Latvia, which is near Estonia.

Radioactive Man was a bad guy, and is from China.

OK, any of these posts working for ya'?

[The_Vision]

Sunfire, Lady Deathstrike, Yukio, Silver Samurai and Kwannon (Revanche) are from Japan. Xorn, Abomination, Mandarin and Radioactive Man are Chinese. Jubilee is Chinese/American.

[Purple Man]

Elektra is from Greece.

Silver Sable is from Symkaria which is on the border of Latveria.

Zebediah Kilgrave the Purple Man is from Yugoslavia.

Dust from New X-Men is Afghani (is that the right word?)

Red Skull is German.

Banshee, Siryn and Black Tom are irish.

Try and guess what country Union Jack is from. The same answer goes for Spitfire, Captain Britain (oops gave it away) and Psylocke.

 

[Mrh7448]

Well I've already figured out my allied nations heroes (Britain, France, Russian, Canada) So I'm just looking for Villains from the Central Powers,

Germany, Italy, Austria, Prussia, Hungary, Turkey.

Right now on the Allied side I'll be using Wolverine (Canadian), and the Hulk. Steve Rogers and Union Jack might make an appearance, not sure yet.

On the villains Red Skull is going to appear but will be as a C.O. Nightcrawler is also going to appear as well. But I was looking for a strong/invulnerable type character to at least attempt to go against the Hulk.

I tried to look up Blitzkrieg but couldn't find a profile on him, guess I'll have to pull out my old Marvel Universe comics if I could find them.

Some of them are good suggestions and gives me a place to start at least.


Anyone know where Latveria
