Description: George is short and stocky, standing 5'5" and weighing 160 lbs, with gray eyes and gray hair. He is a former KGB agent and served as a military political officer in World War II. He came to America in the late 80's to avoid retirement and to catch up with Dr. Tachyon (and Tachyon's grandson). George's wild card power is the ability to cause anything he touches to suddenly burst into intense flame. Curiously enough, Stalin died (in 1953) by spontaneously combusting into flame....

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: A perfect Golden Age character if I ever saw one. He seems to have a Godlike feel to him, and just needs a soldier package to make him complete. This version uses the Field Agent package deal from Dark Champions to make him a spy. To make him an active agent, simply buy up his Fringe Benefits to the proper levels and add a second Hunted—the CIA.
