DC Comics To Introduce New Ukrainian Superhero, Core

In previous Wildstorm gossip, Bleeding Cool reported on the new makeup of the upcoming Stormwatch superhero team. And that it would include Core – Pavlo Stupka, a new Ukrainian character.

Originally launched by current DC Comics publisher Jim Lee, for his Wildstorm company when they were publishing through Image Comics back in March 1993, now bought by DC Comics and getting a revamp. A covert superhero action team. Stormwatch was run by a United Nations body, overseen by a satellite called Skywatch and its director, the Weatherman, Henry Bendix. The series ran for a few years before Warren Ellis, and Tom Raney took over the series, with artist Bryan Hitch joining. This introduced a new Stormwatch team, with predecessors killed off in a WildCATS/Aliens crossover. The team reformed as The Authority, free from any kind of control, and went out to change superhero comic books, and subsequent comic book films from Marvel and DC, forever.

And in the new Stormwatch team launching in this week's Wildstorm 30th Anniversary One-Shot #1, Bleeding Cool has received a confirmatory leak that Core will indeed be part of the team, Pavlov Stutka who is a "Ukrainian living nuclear generator, with the power of flight and while he is fity0two, he looks sixteen years old.
