The Russian (Marvel Comics)

Russian's History
The always cheerful Russian was first hired by mob boss Ma Gnucci to dispose of her nemesis, the Punisher. Tracking him down to an apartment building, the Russian nearly killed Punisher, until he distracted the killer by first throwing his neighbor Mr. Bumbo's scalding hot pizza into the Russian's face, then smothering him under Bumbo's considerable girth, then finally decapitating him and sending his head back to Gnucci.

Death proved to be just a delay for the Russian, who soon returned after his head was re-attached, and given female hormones that resulted in Russian gaining breasts. The Russian came under the employ of the disgruntled General Kreigkopf, coming to blows with Punisher again. This time, after many close calls, the Punisher came out triumphant by hooking an atomic bomb to the Russian's face, then dropping him from an airplane. The Russian laughed the whole way down.
