Viktor Reznov (Earth-5082)

"The rotten cancer of the Fascist Reich ravages Europe like a plague. Their relentless drive into our motherland steals the lives of men, women, and children alike. The arrogance of their leaders is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. These are the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Stalingrad."

- - Viktor Reznov

Captain Viktor Reznov (Russian: Виктор Резнов) was a squadron leader of the Red Army during World War II, who, alongside his friend Dimitri Petrenko, led to many Soviet victories against the Nazis. He, Petrenko and the rest of his men were betrayed by Major Nikita Dragovich and Colonel Lev Kravchenko, who allied with the Nazi scientist Friedrich Steiner, using three of them as test subjects for Nova-6. Left to die at Vorkuta, Reznov met Alex Mason years later, and plotted their escape.
