In Episode 20 of Marvel Echoes Resonance, we analyze the Soviet Union's deadliest living weapon, a phantom of the Cold War forever chained to a tragic, parasitic existence—Omega Red.

Join us as we dissect the pivotal moments of Arkady Rossovich's journey—the ones that twisted a man into a monster and unleashed a relentless predator on the Marvel Universe. We break down his chilling first appearance in the 90s, the deep-seated rivalry with Wolverine rooted in the dark legacy of Team X, and his eternal, desperate hunt for the Carbonadium Synthesizer. This episode isn't just about super-soldiers and tentacles; it's about the echoes of a fallen empire, the nature of manufactured evil, and the horror of a body forever at war with itself.
