When did Anton Vanko turn into Ivan Vanko? (JoeLoeb (talk) 01:37, 28 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]

"Krasno" resp "Красно" is the russian word for "red", not for crimson.--Baruch ben Alexander - ☠☢☣ 04:08, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is true. But the rationale for using 'krasny' rather than 'bagrovyj' given in the comments on the 'Crimson Dynamo' mini-series was that someone heard his name in Russian and elected to call him 'Crimson Dynamo' because that sounds more like 'Krasný Dinamo'. In any case, the armor isn't crimson - it's red. See: http://www.farawaypress.com/comics/crimsondynamo/crimsondynamo1.html : "We did a lot of Russian translations for the series, but one problem we had to solve early on was the name. "Dynamo" is certainly a big word in Russian, but the world "crimson" doesn't translate as simply as we would have liked. The word for "crimson" is roughly the same word for "raspberry," which doesn't have much punch to it as the name of a big supervillain. We figured that the real name was "krasnii dinamo," or "red dynamo," and that Tony Stark simply misheard it back in that original Stan Lee story. We can well understand why Lee didn't just call him the Red Dynamo, as that sounds like a floor cleaner..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.163.78.104 (talk) 10:10, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving aside comments as to whether anything Matt Fraction ever writes has any connection to Marvel continuity as a whole at all, it seems very unlikely that "One of the best Crimson Dynamos ever" would just join up with the Mandarin, when any other way would be so much simpler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.163.78.104 (talk) 10:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The images in the article at the moment don't quite line up right. The Vanko armor is fine, but the armor shown as belonging to Nevsky is where things start to go wrong. That image is actually the armor worn by Yuri Petrovich, the fourth CD, who only ever appeared in the Champions storyarc, and never in that armor. Meanwhile, this armor was designed (off-panel) for Dmitri, and only worn by he and those who followed him; heck, the file is even named "Yuricrimson.jpg," so its name isn't even right. We should really replace the Airstrike armor picture with Yuricrimson.jpg, and leave the Airstrike picture for its own article. I've fixed those now, but I wanted to put an explanation in here for when someone invariably thinks it's vandalism and tries to revert it. I checked the comics, based on the info found on this (and related) pages. --There are no names left (talk) 06:02, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
