Bolshoi is a Russian superhero in the DC Universe and a member of the People's Heroes.
Origin[]
Bolshoi's past and origin have yet to be revealed.
Biography[]
Bolshoi's origins remain unknown. What is known is that his skills and powers allowed him to join the Russian superhero team known as the People's Heroes. He was made his first notable appearance in the nation of Mozambia, where he fought and defeated the superhero Black Lightning while his team was battling the superhero team the Outsiders. At some unspecified point in time, he also battled the Suicide Squad, a black ops team made up of powerful and skilled convicts, and lost his fingers to the villain Captain Boomerang (and likely had them medically re-attached afterwards).
He eventually left the People's Heroes after he was recruited as a member of the covert military groups Red Shadows.
Personality[]
Bolshoi seems to consider himself a Russian patriot and is willing to kill to defend his country, following orders with trust in the people in charge. Bolshoi also considers himself to be more accomplished as a dancer than a fighter and is insecure.
