Nikolai Mikhailovich Baranov was only six years old when he was recruited into the Red Room. Though the organization was known for its assortment of deadly female operatives, dubbed the Black Widows, the leader of the Red Room saw something in Nikolai- a fighting spirit, a defiance, and a refusal to lay down and die- and made certain that he was recruited. From there, he was subjected to an seemingly endless assortment of harrowing tests and lessons that shaped him into the Wolf Spider- the Red Room's only male graduate. Sterilized upon his graduation, Wolf Spider was set loose upon the world of espionage. But prior to the Red Room's dismantlement at the hands of Natasha Romanoff, Wolf Spider was absconded from the organization. He was held captive by the only remnants of Hydra, where he was subjected to the very same manipulative maneuvers that birthed the Winter Soldier. Now, with just ten words, Wolf Spider is the deadliest of tools.
