The Birth: Tales of Suspense #69 revealed a new super-villain, a virtual copycat of the Avenger; Iron Man. This was Titanium Man - an enthusiastic member of the Communist party. The man under the armour, Boris Bullski came up with the idea to become Mother Russia's answer to the capitalist hero; Iron Man.
The Legend: After dawning his armour,
Bullski decided to gain popularity by thrashing ol' Shell Head. Of
course, the Golden Avenger defeated him many times over. But Bullski
still never learnt his lesson and Iron Man became his primary foe.
Following initial well-publicized defeats, Bullski submitted to
Half Face's biological enhancements. Half-Face was a Chinese scientist
who had recued Bullski earlier. While increasing his physical
strength and size, it still didn't net him the much-desired victory
over Iron Man. Most of Bullski's capabilities really belong to the
suit. Nuclear powered, the flight-capable armor fires lasers and
greatly increases Bullski's already-inhuman strength.
Along with the Crimson Dynamo and Radioactive Man
Titanium Man formed the Titanic Three. But the group
was short lived. Later on, under the guise of the Commander, Bullski
founded the Green Liberation Front, an organization of disgruntled
Viet Nam vets that liked him well enough until they discovered he
was a Soviet agent using the group as a front.
Unicorn, another villian was sent into battle with Iron Man by
Bullski to test shell head's new armour. But Titanium Man's lackey
accidently drowned while trying to return to his master.
