Iconic Marvel villain Omega Red has been added to the roster for Kabam's mobile fighting game
Marvel Contest of Champions.
A little history for the newest champion, Omega Red is the result of the KGB's experiment to create a supersoldier similar to Captain America. The Soviets captured Arkady Rossovich and experimented on him, implanting him with retractable tentacles made of carbonadium, an artificial alloy that was the former Soviety Union's attempt to at creating true adamantium. Omega Red also boasts superhuman strenght, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. He also has the ability to secrete pheramones from his body, referrd to as Death Spores, which severely weaken those around him.
