What Red Guardian does
Can't receive Buffs at all, and every Buff his Immunity stops adds Durability to his Ablative Shield instead. The Shield starts at 9 Durability, each point adds 5% Perfect Block chance (Perfect Blocks take no damage), and Special 2 smashes it for extra Attack per point, Fracturing it into a Stun and a 12-second Trauma worth 100% of recent damage.
Every unique Debuff on the opponent adds Attack Rating after a Fracture and Critical Rating to his Heavy and Special Attacks.
Profile
Red Guardian's full name is Alexi Shostakov.
Background
Alexi Shostakov was one of the Soviet Union's most acclaimed pilots crediting them with air supremacy over the skies of Stalingrad and Kursk during World War II and thus granting him national recognition.
As the Cold War flared, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev determined the Soviet Union needed its own equivalent to Captain America and seeing Shostakov's popularity, chose him to fill that role.
The KGB then faked his death, training him in secret and turning him into a master of hand-to-hand combat and a highly skilled athlete.
