Sergei Chernov

"'It's Sergei Time!' - Sergei Chernov, when it is Sergei Time."Sergei Chernov was a Soviet soldier, a member of JSI, a soldier for the Atlas Coalition and a metahuman enchanced by the Hyperion Project. Sergei was a former wrestler in his younger years, in which he abused various performance-enhancing drugs that left him as the most powerful man in the underground wrestling circuit. His connection with Russian criminal organisations meant he was unable to stop taking the drugs and retire, lest his friends and loved ones be punished in his place. By the time he went to war, Sergei's fate had already been sealed, his body hooked upon various illegal stimulants. These addictions would prove his downfall, being powerful enough to counter even his immense healing factor later on in after the African War.

Sergei Chernov was born in Vladivostok in 1989. With a soldier as a father figure and his mother, a factory worker, strength was always an important factor in the Chernov family. Thus, Sergei left all of his classes in school in place of the gymnasium. Showing great enthusiasm, the coaches saw grand potential in this young lad, especially in wrestling. Sergei was taken under the wing of Coach Sobolev, a middle aged Afghan War veteran who had seen plenty of dirty fighting. Of course, in Russia, it was always dirty and from a young age, Sergei learned a vital lesson; "Do unto others to prevent others doing unto me", for of course, he was sure his opponents would do worse.

With so much potential in the wrestling community, there was only so far that the normal physical body could achieve in such little time. When Sergei reached his teenage and eventually young adult years, Coach Sobolev and him made personal trips to certain....benefactors. These people supplied them with many performance enhancing drugs which Sergei greatly benefited from. Unfortunately, after relying on his drugs so much to win him fights, Sergei momentarily dropped his own effort which cost him a very high-stakes fight. This resulted in a very upset Russian mafioso. In order to escape the consequences, he joined the Soviet Military.

While in this career, he was mainly a performer for propaganda for the USSR. His towering stature and mystifying strength lead him to be very favoured among the Russian soldiers. Although, posing for photos and tirelessly winning wrestling competitions grew on Sergei's crave for activity; thus he joined the corps itself and became a soldier in the 3rd Shock Army.

After the North African theatre had died down and the Russians setting up a puppet state, Sergei - being so indoctrinated within the USSR propaganda and believing so much in their strength - was incredibly horrified by the alliance
