Feodor Piotrovitch Sorin

Emerging from the late-1980s Copper Age of DC Comics, Feodor Piotrovitch Sorin made his debut in Firestorm the Nuclear Man #70, brought to life by the acclaimed creative team of John Ostrander and J. J. Birch. His appearances are few but flavored with the rich Cold War atmosphere that defined that era of storytelling, placing him alongside a remarkable roster of Soviet-themed characters — Stalnoivolk the Steel Wolf, Rusalka, Perun, Igor Medviedenko, and Major Zastrow — that gave Firestorm some of its most geopolitically charged adventures. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, Sorin is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into one of the most ambitious and underappreciated runs of the late Bronze-to-Copper transition.
